[{"type":"text","content":"Galleon Gold Discovers Up-Dip Extension to the High-Grade West Deep Gold Zone at Its West Cache Gold Project, Timmins, OntarioToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 9, 2020) -  Galleon Gold Corp. (TSXV: GGO) (the \"Company\" or \"Galleon Gold\") is pleased to announce initial results from its 15,000 meter infill drilling program on its 100% owned West Cache Gold property near Timmins, Ontario. A highlight from the infill drilling this summer is core hole WC-20-030 which intersected a broad 9.7 meter zone of 7.16 g/t Au (31 feet of 0.209 opt Au) that includes a higher grade sub-interval returning 14.75 g/t Au over 3.0 meters (0.430 opt Au over 9.8 feet). WC-20-030, was extended to intercept the near-surface projection of the \"West Deep\" gold zone, approximately 500 meters (1,640 ft) up-dip from historic hole TPW-10-30, drilled in 2010, that intersected 9.21 g/t Au over 11.0 meters (0.268 opt Au over 36 feet). The sediment-hosted mineralization style seen in both WC-20-030 and the West Deep intercepts is characterized by wider gold-bearing zones with statistically higher grades than elsewhere on the property. This style of mineralization had not been intersected near-surface prior to the 2020 drilling program. Results are pending for WC-20-042 which also intersected this same type of mineralization 50 meters west and 30 meters down dip from WC-20-30.Additional drilling in the area around hole WC-20-030 is planned as part of the ongoing 2020 drill program. In addition to the drill results and cross section provided in this release below, the Company website, www.galleongold.com provides further information on the current drill results.Highlights from the Drill Program to DateHole WC-20-030: drill results from this hole may be the first indication of a potential up-dip extension to the high grade West Deep Area. Additional follow-up drilling has now been added to the current infill drilling planned for the West Area.East Area Phase 1: completion of 11 holes (WC-20-001 to WC-20-011) totaling 2,265 m provide infill open pit definition and will support an update to the resource as part of the planned PEA. Assay results are shown in Table 1 below, while drillhole locations and other statistics are tabulated in Table 2.West Area Phase 1: completion of 20 holes (WC-20-012 to WC-20-031) totaling 2,682 m in an area with little...
