[{"type":"text","content":"Contact Gold Drills 2.24 g/t Oxide Gold over 35 Metres at the Green Springs Project, NevadaVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 12, 2021) -  Contact Gold Corp. (TSXV: C) (OTCQB: CGOL) (the \"Company\" or \"Contact Gold\") is pleased to report results for 5 additional drill holes from the 2020 drill program at the Green Springs gold property (\"Green Springs\"). Contact Gold completed 5,785 metres in 10 core holes and 31 reverse circulation drill holes during the fall of 2020. Results are pending for 31 holes as of the date of this release from the Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Golf and Echo Zones.Key Points:Drilling infills gold mineralization in the northern part of Echo Zone and confirms that mineralization is well oxidized with the first cyanide assays from this high-grade pod located north of the area previously drilled by Contact Gold in 2019Gold mineralization intersected below the past-producing Charlie pit in the Pilot Shale horizon confirms Contact Gold's primary target concept that the unexplored Pilot Shale hosts gold mineralization beneath the Mine Trend at Green SpringsDrill Highlights:Echo Zone:2.24 g/t oxide Au over 35.05 m from a depth of 35 metres in hole GS20-14, 92% cyanide recoveryIncluding 3.14 g/t Au over 22.86 m from a depth of 42.67 metresThis intercept further extends the footprint of gold mineralization in the northern Echo Zone 1.49 g/t Au over 17.68 m from a depth of 38.1 m, in hole GSC20-01, 67% cyanide recoveryGSC20-01 represents the first core hole ever drilled at Green Springs providing invaluable subsurface structural and lithological dataMore detailed modeling of high-grade pods in the Echo Zone have revealed an east-west fault control to gold mineralization that has previously been unrecognized and will be targeted during the next phase of drilling in 2021.Charlie Zone:0.28 g/t Au over 3.05 metres from a depth of 28.96 metres in hole GS20-08, 78% cyanide recovery0.15 g/t Au over 3.05 meters from a depth of 163.07 metres, in hole GS20-07, 100% cyanide recovery - Pilot Shale hostedBoth Charlie drill holes were drilled from the bottom of the past producing open pit to target the Pilot Shale host horizon at the intersection of major northwest and east-west striking faults, delivering a significant gold intersection at the Pilot-Guilmette contact.
