[{"type":"text","content":"Gaia Metals Completes Drill Program at the Gold Dyke Prospect, Freeman Creek Gold Property, Idaho, USAVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 12, 2020 / Gaia Metals Corp. (the \"Company\") (TSXV:GMC)(OTCQB:RGDCF)(FSE:R9G) is pleased to announce that it has now completed its maiden diamond drill program at 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.The recently completed drill program consisted of four (4) diamond drill holes of HQ size, totalling of 457 m. The program focused on the Gold Dyke Prospect (\"Gold Dyke\") and included a drill hole twin (FC20-003) of the historical drill hole RDH-8, which returned 1.5 g/t Au and 12.1 g/t Ag over 44.2 m. Each 2020 drill hole intersected near-surface zones of variably altered metasediments, with common to abundant quartz veining, silicification, sulphides, and brecciated/vuggy textures. The zone remains open in all directions and has been tested over a strike length of approximately 250 m. The drill core is being logged and sampled on site in Salmon, Idaho, and samples will be shipped to the laboratory in the next week. The Company will advise as assay results are received.The Company is also pleased to note that the construction of road access to drill pads has resulted in a significant amount of new outcrop exposure. A total of 33 rock samples were collected along the access route and have been sent for analysis. A large portion of the exposed outcrop is silicified and variably vuggy metasediments hosting abundant quartz and iron oxide veining, along with common sulphides, and is very similar to the zone encountered in drill hole.Collectively, the 2020 surface sampling at Gold Dyke has outlined a prospective area considerably larger than previously recognized and includes numerous sample assays ranging from 0.5 to 10.9 g/t Au and 1 to 292 g/t Ag (+/- Cu). Mineralization at Gold Dyke is hosted by strongly silicified meta-sediments with common vugs, quartz veining, and minor sulphides (pyrite, chalcopyrite). The Gold Dyke area may be directly accessed by secondary gravel roads and is located on BLM lands outside of US Forest Service Lands and other protective areas.Once the sample assay results have been received, ...
