[{"type":"text","content":"Endurance Reports Surface Sampling of 10 GPT Gold Over 5 M at the Reliance Gold Property in B.C.VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 16, 2019 / Endurance Gold Corporation (TSX.V:EDG) (the \"Company\") is pleased to announce encouraging surface sampling results on the Reliance Gold Property (the \"Property\"). Sampling efforts were largely focused on the Royal Shear and recent assay results have confirmed encouraging gold results on surface. Highlights of the results include 10 grams per tonne (\"gpt\") gold over 5 metres (\"m\") at the Imperial Zone and 4.6 gpt gold over 2 m at the Senator Zone prospects.On September 12, 2019, the Company announced an option to earn a 100% ownership in the Property which is located 5 kilometers (\"km\") east of Gold Bridge and 10 km north of the Bralorne-Pioneer Gold Mining Camp which has historically produced over 4 million ounces of gold. The Property was previously explored with trenching and diamond drilling from 1985 through 2008. Gold mineralization is associated with wide zones of alteration within several subparallel north and northwest trending structures. The most explored structure is the Royal Shear which hosts the Diplomat, Senator, Imperial, Crown and Eagle Zones. Historic surface grab and chip sampling results from these zones, together with drilling, indicate a mineralized gold system over at least 750m of strike and 250m vertically that requires a systematic exploration program to evaluate. Based on historic soil sampling and continuing alteration, the Royal Shear Zone remains open and unexplored along strike in both directions indicating potential for extension of the mineralized system by an additional 1,000 m or more.The gold mineralization is hosted within areas of alteration up to 30 m wide in the Royal Shear. Continuous alteration within the Royal Shear consists of ankerite-sericite-clay altered volcanics encompassing areas of silicification, quartz-stibnite veining, vein stockwork, vein breccia and quartz-feldspar porphyry. Reference samples of various alteration, rock types and interpreted mineralized zones have recently been collected from the Property. Twenty-two of these samples were sent for gold analysis. The best result from the Imperial Zone assayed 10 gpt gold over 5 m (sample reference is RL Imp Area rs) was collected in September 2019 from a road cut as shown ...
