(TSXV: C) (the \"Company\" or \"Contact Gold\") is pleased to announce results from 4 drill holes from the Alpha Zone at its Green Springs gold project located on the Cortez Trend in Nevada. Drilling results from the Echo, Charlie and Bravo Zones are pending.Contact Gold Drill Highlights - Alpha Zone:1.68 g/t Au over 35.05 m from 27.43 m in hole GS19-03Including 2.55 g/t Au over 19.81 m from 41.15 m0.86 g/t Au over 45.72 m from 16.76 m in hole GS19-05Including 1.82 g/t Au over 9.14 m from 24.38 m0.6 g/t Au over 18.29 m from 13.72 m in hole GS19-06\"The first six holes of our maiden drill program at Green Springs were very successful in identifying oxide gold where it was previously overlooked. In addition, drilling clearly demonstrated the continuity of gold mineralization along the basal Pilot Shale.\" said Matt Lennox-King, President & CEO of Contact Gold. \"Now that proof of concept is established our team can move forward confidently with our exploration of the basal Pilot Shale below the other known gold zones hosted in higher stratigraphic units. This proof of concept also means we can step north to the undrilled Tango target, where the Pilot Shale contact with the Guilmette daylights and is associated with a 450 m x 150 m gold-in-soil anomaly. We also look forward to drill results from the next holes at Green Springs including those the Echo Zone where re-assaying historic drill splits in 2019 (see news release October 2, 2019) found high grade gold mineralization to be well oxidized.\" Drilling - Key Points: GS19-03 infilled a 30m gap in gold mineralization between GS19-02 and a historic hole, which now demonstrates a NNE 75m trend of gold mineralization higher than 1 g/t and over 30m thick within the Pilot ShaleGS19-05 fills a gap in gold mineralization in the Pilot Shale between two 2017 angled holes drilled 50m east of GS19-03 GS19-06 extended known gold mineralization north by 25 metres within the Pilot ShaleContact Gold drilled six holes at the Alpha Zone to offset gold mineralization in historic drillingThe Alpha Zone is hosted within a fault repeated section of Devonian Pilot Shale which is an important gold host rock elsewhere in the region and a key exploration ...
