[{"type":"text","content":"Falcon Completes 1,890 Meters, Reports Broad Gold Zones Holes CC20-08 & -09, Central Canada Gold MineVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 2, 2021 / Falcon Gold Corp. (TSXV:FG)(FSE:3FA)(OTC PINK:FGLDF); (\"Falcon\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to make its first report of 2021 with this update on its fall drilling program at the Central Canada gold mine. The Company completed its 2020 fall drilling program at the Central Canada Gold mine near Atikokan, northwestern Ontario, with drill holes CC20-08 to CC20-17 producing a total of 1,890 meters (\"m\") of core. Through its two drill campaigns in 2020, Falcon has drilled seventeen drill holes for a total of 2,942.5m of core and has shipped 780 samples for analyses and assays.In addition, the Company is pleased to report on the significant mineralized intersections from CC 20 -08 and 20-09 (see Table One). The geology logged in these holes was previously reported in our news release dated November 18th, 2020. Highlights of the drill intersections for the two holes are as follows:CC20-08 intersected the Central Canada main mine trend from 30.6m to 41.7m and intersected secondary gold bearing zones @ 61.7m-63.6m, 96m and 101m;CC20-09 intersected the mine trend at 131.0m to 165.6m. This zone contains several intervals grading up to 7.46 g/t Au; and,With the intersections reported today, and the intersections of drill holes CC 12-01 and CC20-01, Falcon has traced the Central Canada gold mineralization from surface to a vertical depth of more than 161m and the zone remains strong and open to continue beyond that depth.The Central Canada gold zones in drill holes, CC20-08 and -09, comprised core lengths up to 35m, variably mineralized with pyrite, arsenopyrite and pyrrhotite in silicified and chloritic units and quartz veins. The host rock lithologies include metamorphosed quartz feldspar porphyries, felsic pyroclastic units and mafic volcanic flows. However, due to the intensity of alteration, identification of the host was at times difficult to ascertain. The veins commonly contain contorted bands of quartz and tourmaline with pyrite, arsenopyrite and fine grains of chalcopyrite.Falcon's hole, CC20-08 was drilled just approximately 30m west north west of the shaft and was targeting the main gold zone approximately 30m above the gold intersections in CC20-01. Hole CC20-01 reported two p...
