[{"type":"text","content":"Gaia Metals Collars First Drill Hole at the Gold Dyke Prospect, Freeman Creek Gold Property, Idaho, USAVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 27, 2020 / Gaia Metals Corp. (the \"Company\") (TSXV:GMC)(OTCQB:RGDCF)(FSE:R9G) is pleased to announce that it has collared the first drill hole of its maiden diamond drill program at the Gold Dyke Prospect (\"Gold Dyke\") on the Company's Freeman Creek Gold Property (the \"Property\"). The Property is located approximately 15 km northeast of Salmon, Idaho, and hosts excellent access via paved highway and a network of gravel roads and trails.Following the receipt of drill permits and completion of the bond payment, the initial drill pad and site access has now been completed, connecting the main road to the drill area. Major Drilling America Inc. of Salt Lake City, Utah, has been engaged to carry out the diamond drill program at the Property. The initial drill program will be comprised of 5 - 6-holes for a total of 1,000 m of HQ coring focused on the Gold Dyke Prospect.The Gold Dyke Prospect is the most advanced target on the Property, having been the subject of some initial shallow drill testing historically, with encouraging results. This includes two mineralized intercepts from rotary drilling completed in the 1980s by St. Joe American Corp., that were not followed-up on: 1.5 g/t Au and 12.1 g/t Ag over 44.2 m (RDH-8), and 1.7 g/t Au and 17.1 g/t Ag over 21.3 m (RDH-10). Mineralization in drill hole starts from surface, extending to at least 50 m depth, and remains to be followed-up with additional drilling. The current drill program will include a twinning of the historical rotary drill hole RDH-8 and will also test other targets in the area developed from the recent surface exploration.Gaia Metals' President & CEO commented: \"We are excited to have the drill rig turning at the Freeman Creek Gold Property. In just a few short months from acquiring the project, we have efficiently and confidently defined our initial drill targets to get a better understanding of the potential the project hosts. The Freeman Creek Property is located within a prolific region of Idaho and is in close proximity to Freeman Gold's Lemhi Project, as well as Revival Gold's Beartrack & Arnett Projects. Idaho has been great jurisdiction to work in; no wonder why it is ranked #8 in the world and #3 in North...
