[{"type":"text","content":"New, Strong, Gold-In-Auger and Gold-In-Soil Anomalies Indicate Potential for Expansion of Gourbassi West Gold Deposit and New Discovery; Follow up Drilling Planned in JuneDelta, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 1, 2021) - Desert Gold Ventures Inc. (TSXV: DAU) (FSE: QXR2) (OTCQB: DAUGF) (the \"Company\") is pleased to present new gold-in-auger and gold-in-soil exploration targets on its SMSZ Project. The untested auger anomalies lie both under shallow laterite cover proximal to the projected location of the regional scale Main Transcurrent Shear Zone, along the western portion of the property package.The Company's 2021 exploration program is now more than 75% completed on its flagship Senegal Mali Shear Zone project in Western Mali (the \"SMSZ Project\"). The 410 km2 SMSZ Project is both named after and overlies a 38 km section of the prolific Senegal Mali Shear Zone (the \"SMSZ\"). The SMSZ is related to 5 large mines located both to the north and south, along strike of the Company's SMSZ Project, including B2 Gold's Fekola Mine, Barrick's Gounkoto and Loulo Mines and Allied Gold's Sadiola and Yatela Mines1. To the Company's knowledge, the SMSZ Project is the largest, contiguous, non-producer land package over this highly prospective structural feature (see Figure 1).Field work recommenced at the SMSZ Project in early December, 2020. The goal of the exploration program is to develop/discover a stand-alone Tier 1 gold deposit(s). Exploration comprises of drilling to advance known gold zones and soil, auger and IP surveys to identify new targets, with real-time follow-up of drill testing of newly developed targets. The SMSZ exploration program is fully underway with one multipurpose drill and a geological mapping team. Highlights - (see Figure 2)Strong gold-in-auger anomaly discovered north, along trend, of the Gourbassi West Deposit with auger values of 1,937, 1,736, 581, 570 and 460 ppb gold, on three separate, 500 metre-spaced lines.• northernmost gold-in-auger anomaly, located 1.8 km north of the Gourbassi West Deposit.• Combined with the Gourbassi West deposit, the zone of high perspectivity is now 3 km long.Seven new gold-in-soil anomalies, up to 2.4 km long, have been discovered to the north of the Gourbassi West Zone.• Gold-in-soil values range up to 9,394 ppb gold.New gold zone discovered...
