[{"type":"text","content":"Endurance Announces 2021 Drilling and Exploration Plans at the Reliance Gold PropertyVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 8, 2021 / Endurance Gold Corporation (TSXV:EDG) (the \"Company\") is pleased to announce plans for the upcoming exploration season at the Reliance Gold Property (the \"Property\") in southern British Columbia. The Property is located 4 kilometres (\"km\") from the village of Gold Bridge with year-round road access, and 10 km from the historic Bralorne-Pioneer Gold Mining Camp which has produced about 4 million ounces of gold.The fully funded 2021 program is designed to follow-up on the exploration success of the 2020 program. The program will commence in mid-April with a reverse circulation (\"RC\") drill program targeting near-surface, high-grade gold mineralization discovered at the Eagle Zone. The drilling program is designed to expand the 120 metres (\"m\") by 80 m surface footprint of the Eagle Zone where all nine drill holes in 2020 intersected gold mineralization within 30 m of surface. The estimated average true width of those holes is 16 m with a weighted average grade of 4.63 grams per tonne gold. The 2021 step-out RC program will test the down-dip extension of Eagle mineralization to the southwest and along strike to the southeast and northwest. A secondary objective of the RC program will be to test previously unexplored near-surface gold targets at the Diplomat and Imperial Zones. The 30 to 40 hole program is expect to take 6 weeks to complete.A 13 line-km DC Resistivity/Induced Polarization (\"3DIP\") geophysical survey is scheduled to commence in May. The survey will cover a 1.2 km by 1.0 km area of prospective mineralization and alteration along the Royal Shear. The objective of this survey is to delineate sulphide-associated mineralized zones below and along strike of the Eagle, Imperial and Diplomat zones, and to test for new mineralization not exposed near surface along the Royal Shear and the sub-parallel Treasure Shear. The 3DIP program is designed to delineate diamond drill targets within 300 m of surface. The field component of the survey is expected to take 2 weeks to complete. Post-processing, inversions, 3D modelling and reporting will follow the completion of the field component.The Company is also pleased to announce it has also committed to conduct a LiDAR and digital orthophoto sur...
