[{"type":"text","content":"Endurance Receives Drill Permit for the Reliance Gold Property in BCFall Drilling Program Expected to Mobilize in NovemberVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 22, 2020 / Endurance Gold Corporation (TSXV:EDG) (the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has been informed that the Company's Notice of Work Application for a multi-year drill program for its Reliance Gold Property (the \"Property\") in southern British Columbia has been Approved. 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.The approved permit, issued by the B.C. Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources, allows for the completion of full range of exploration activities which includes drilling, drill roads, and Induced Polarization geophysical programs commencing in 2020.A program of reverse circulation (\"RC\") drilling is expected to commence in November with a series of short holes testing below outcrop channel sampling conducted by the Company during the 2020 field season. Previously reported channel sampling results include 8.9 grams per tonne (\"gpt\") gold over 9.6 metres (\"m\") within a wider mineralized zone of 6.92 gpt gold over 13.4 m at the Eagle South Zone (see Press Release dated October 15, 2020); and channel sample results of 4.1 gpt Au and 0.85% antimony over 3.7 m at the Imperial Zone (see Press Release dated September 9, 2020). Additional channel sample results are expected shortly from the Eagle Zone where grab samples have returned up to 19.2 gpt gold and 8.5% antimony from stibnite bearing quartz veins in outcrop (see Press Release dated September 9, 2020).The RC drilling will complete 3.5 inch diameter inclined holes using a track-mounted rig and employing existing forest service roads and historic exploration trails. An RC program was selected to test the mineralized zones within 50 metres of surface where the host rock is typically oxidized and friable and historic diamond drilling indicated poor core recovery at shallow depths. RC drilling will alleviate the historic recovery issues.The company has conducted other low-impact exploration activities since May 2020. Activities completed to date include completion of a helicopter-borne airborne magnetics s...
