[{"type":"text","content":"Endurance Provides Update on 2020 Drill Program at the Reliance Gold PropertypXRF Analysis identifies significant mineralized intervals in 14 drill holesVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 6, 2021 / Endurance Gold Corporation (TSXV:EDG) (the \"Company\") is pleased to provide an update on the geological evaluation of the reverse circulation (\"RC\") drill program recently completed at its Reliance Gold Property (the \"Property\") in southern British Columbia. The Property is located 4 kilometres (\"km\") east of the village of Gold Bridge with year-round road access, and 10 km north of the historic Bralorne-Pioneer Gold Mining Camp which has produced over 4 million ounces of gold.Portable X-Ray Fluorescence (\"pXRF\") of the RC chips has identified interval widths enriched in arsenic (\"As\") and antimony (\"Sb\") in 14 of the RC drill holes completed on the Eagle, Eagle South and Imperial Zones. The pXRF technique does not report quantifiable gold but previous work by the Company has shown that As and Sb mineralization has a strong positive correlation with gold mineralization.Highlight pXRF results include 3,227 parts per million (\"ppm\") pXRF As and 3,774 ppm pXRF Sb over 24.4 metres (\"m\") commencing at the drill collar of RC20-015 on the Eagle Zone. This RC drill hole was drilled under the Eagle 1 channel sample reported in October 2020 that averaged 5.89 grams per tonne (\"gpt\") Au and 3,757 ppm As over 31.5 m. Mineralized intervals identified with the pXRF from all RC holes are reported below.A total of 609 RC samples have also been submitted to the ALS Global laboratory for gold assay and multi-element ICP analysis. Complete gold assays are expected in 8 to 10 weeks and results will be reported when received.Geological descriptions and pXRF analysis of the retained reference RC chips was completed through to the end of December. A December 2020 map showing all the 2020 drill hole locations is available on the Company's website.Eagle Zone pXRF Results. Nine RC drill holes were completed on the Eagle Zone and all drill holes intersected mineralized widths varying from 7.6 m to 24.4 m defined by elevated pXRF As and pXRF Sb concentrations similar in tenor to previously reported channel samples with high-grade gold mineralization. Current geological interpretations indicate that drilling at the Eagle Zone has intersected...
