[{"type":"text","content":"GGL Resources Commences Field Work at McConnell Copper - Gold Porphyry Prospect, Central BC and Gold Point Project, NevadaVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 27, 2020 / GGL Resources Corp. (TSXV:GGL) (\"GGL\" or the \"Company\") has commenced field work at its 100% owned, road accessible McConnell project located in north-central British Columbia. GGL has also commenced field activities at its past-producing Gold Point gold project in the prolific Walker Lane gold-silver trend, southwestern Nevada. In anticipation of the McConnell work program, the Company has increased the size of the claim block by adding a further 1,151 hectares of prospective mineral claims.McConnell Project, BCThe McConnell property is located in the Golden Horseshoe region of north-central BC, approximately 22 km southeast of the past-producing Kemess open pit copper-gold mine and 70 km from the former Lawyers Mine, where Benchmark Metals Inc. is currently conducting a major drill program to expand resources. The McConnell property is accessible by a road that branches off the all-season Omineca mine and hydro grid power road servicing the Kemess Mine.Current field activities underway at McConnell include up to 20 line kilometers of induced polarization (\"IP\") and ground magnetic surveying over a known copper-gold porphyry zone. The IP survey complements a reconnaissance style IP survey conducted in 2008, which identified an untested buried chargeability anomaly proximal to mineralized outcrops. The 2020 survey is designed to better define the known chargeability target, and to expand geophysical coverage to evaluate the potential for other nearby targets under overburden cover. Exploration done by the Company in 2018 reconfirmed the presence of a potassic-phyllic altered monzonite intrusion hosting supergene and hypogene copper-gold-silver mineralization, which can be traced in scattered outcrop occurrences over 600 meters until it is lost beneath overburden. Rock samples returned assays of up to 20.1% Cu, 4010 ppb Au and 67.1 ppm Ag. These samples were taken from an exposure that was blast-trenched in the 1970s and chip sampled to yield results of 10.97 % Cu, 0.136 oz/T Au and 2.12 oz/T Ag over 12 feet, as described in an assessment report filed with the government.The McConnell project land tenure has been expanded by 1,151 hectares and is now compris...
