[{"type":"text","content":"Falcon Strikes High-Grade Gold at Its Spitfire & Sunny Boy Claims, Merritt, B.C.Channel samples returned up to 122 grams/tonne (3.56 oz/ton) gold over a meterVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 4, 2020) - FALCON GOLD CORP. (TSXV: FG), (FSE: 3FA) (\"Falcon\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce it has sampled and confirmed the high-grade gold mineralization on its Spitfire & Sonny Boy project near Merritt, B.C. The Company's field crew completed a preliminary geological investigation on the claims to assess the economic potential of the past producing Master Vein.The Company geologist mapped and channel sampled the Master Vein in a blasted trench and along strike. The highlight sample averaged 59.8 g/t Au (1.74 oz/ton Au) over 2.2 m which included a 1 m interval assaying 122 g/t (3.56 oz/ton) Au. Approximately 125 m southeast along strike, another channel sample of the Master Vein returned a second strong assay of the vein that showed 11.4 g/t Au over 1 meter. A new potential vein structure, the Cliff Vein, was discovered down slope from the Master Vein, approximately 25 meters lower in elevation. A grab sample of the Cliff vein assayed up to 22.8 g/t Au. In addition to the vein and mineralized rock sampling, the geological team conducted a sampling of outcrops throughout the claims. These samples are undergoing whole rock geochemical analyses. These results are pending but will give further insight into the deposit scale and potential for more gold occurrences yet to be discovered.Table of selected assay results from the Spitfire & Sunny Boy Claims 2020 sampling program.Station IDSample #Sample Type  Width(m)Assay(g/t Au)Assay(oz/t Au)LocationCH20-01-01   467712Channel1.0122.003.56Master VeinCH20-01-02467713Channel1.27.990.23Quartz stringersCH20-02-01467714Channel1.011.400.33Master VeinCliff Vein467716Grabn/a22.800.67Cliff Vein \"The Merritt area has a long history of exploration and gold discoveries. Explorers focused on narrow high-grade veins while not seeing the less obvious geological indications of broader mining widths. The Company's field crew has dedicated their work this season to studying the structure and geochemistry. The project continues to impress us as results come in. We believe the Nicola Lake area hosts the makings of a significant new go...
