[{"type":"text","content":" ROUYN NORANDA, QC, May 12, 2021 /CNW/ - Granada Gold Mine Inc. (TSXV: GGM) (the \"Company\" or \"Granada\") is pleased to announce that Hole GR-20-22 drilled to a depth of 1626 meters on the Big Claim of the Granada Gold Mine property, in Quebec, Canada. Results are preliminary and full core lengths have not yet been assayed in two holes drilled at the north of the Big Claim. The company encountered unusual facies of altered rock which has been sampled in portions of the drill core. The mineralized portions of the core have been assayed for 56 metals. Additional assays are pending. Initially, portions of drill holes GR-20-20 and GR-20-22 were sampled. The company has received preliminary assay results for GR-20-22. Based on recent assays for intervals sampled, the intervening intervals are being prepared and will be sent for assay to create a complete picture. Highlights of drill hole GR-20-22 as of today: Intercepted 21 distinct mineralized zones. Zones range in core length from 177 meters to 2.8 meters. Rare Earths and Alkali metals of note identified to date are Caesium (Cs), Rubidium (Rb), Scandium (Sc), Zirconium (Zr), Cerium (Ce), Gallium (Ga), Hafnium (Hf), Neodymium (Nd) and Strontium (Sr). Others pending.
