(the \"Company\" or \"Contact Gold\") (TSXV:C)(OTCQB:CGOL) is pleased to announce results from four cyanide bottle roll assays at the Stallion and Bowl Zones at the Pony Creek gold project. Pony Creek is located on the Carlin Trend in Elko County, Nevada, adjacent to Gold Standard Ventures' Railroad-Pinion Project.Highlights:Oxidized portions of the Bowl Zone and the Stallion Zone continue to demonstrate excellent gold recoveries in cyanide bottle roll testing.2.24 g/t Au or 100% of the original 2.24 g/t Au average grade using original Fire Assay / AA method (with Gravimetric Finish used for all Fire Assay/AA assays greater than 4 g/t Au) from 27 individual 5 foot sample intervals totalling 1.08 kg from the Bowl Zone.0.48 g/t Au or 92% of the original 0.52 g/t Au average grade from using Fire Assay / AA method from 16 individual 5-foot sample intervals totalling 1.09 kg from the Stallion Zone.0.36 g/t Au or 106% of the original 0.34 g/t Au average grade using original Fire Assay / AA method from 19 individual 5-foot sample intervals totalling 1.05 kg from the Stallion Zone. 0.09 g/t Au or 15% of the original 0.6 g/t Au average grade using original Fire Assay / AA method from 24 individual 5-foot sample intervals totalling 1.17 kg from the Bowl Zone.\"The excellent gold recoveries in cyanide solubility assays and cyanide bottle roll testing provide concrete evidence of the oxidized and potentially heap leachable nature of the gold mineralization along the at-surface, oxidized 2 km long Stallion Zone. Stallion is open in multiple directions, particularly to the north, where we see continuous runs of oxidized gold mineralization up to 90 metres thick with individual assays up to 1 g/t Au.\" said Matt Lennox-King, President & CEO of Contact Gold. \"The high-grade oxidized portions of the Bowl Zone continue to demonstrate excellent cyanide solubility ratios, which bodes well for potential future development scenarios at Pony Creek.\"2020 Bottle Rolls:Bowl Zone:A composite sample composed of 27 individual 5-foot sample intervals totalling 1.08 kg returned a bottle roll assay of 2.24 g/t Au, or 100% of the 2.24 g/t Au average grade using original Fire Assay / AA method (with Gravimetric ...
