[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 20, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Burin Gold Corp. (“Burin Gold” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: BURG) is pleased to announce gold assay results from an initial seven holes on the Company’s 2022 program of 10,000 m of diamond drilling at its 100%-owned Hickey’s Pond – Paradise Gold Property, southeastern Newfoundland, Canada. Highlights 16.00 m of 1.57 g/t Au in HP-22-011, including 8.24 m of 2.58 g/t Au, 10.65 m of 1.14 g/t Au in HP-22-008, 10.50 m of 1.37 g/t Au in HP-22-013 Broad zones of gold mineralisation now reported in over 400 m of strike, including best result from 2020 drilling of 10.8 m of 4.43 g/t Au in HP-20-002 Large high-sulphidation epithermal gold system open along strike and to depth Assays from 2,600 m of the initial 3,777 m drilled are still pending Two drills mobilising to the property in mid-May Upgrade of ATV trail to Hickey’s Pond approved by Government of Newfoundland & Labrador Company will host a corporate update webinar on April 26th These assay results represent the first 7 holes for which assays have been received, out of a total of 22 drill holes completed to date this year. A total of 3,777 m of diamond drilling has been completed out of the Company’s previously announced 10,000 m drill program. All holes completed have been logged and sampled, and all core samples are now at the analytical laboratory for assay. Additional results will be released as they are received. David Clark, PGeo, Burin Gold’s CEO, commented: “These initial holes focus on approximately 150 m of strike length and test the mineralisation to 75 m of vertical depth. It’s encouraging to see consistent grade and thickness at these shallow depths. These results build on the scout drilling program we completed in 2020 which gave a best result of 10.8 m of 4.43 g/t Au, and they confirm the presence of a near-surface gold system at Hickey’s Pond, with geological characteristics consistent with those of other large-scale epithermal gold deposits in the Avalonian terrane of eastern North America. We are fully funded to complete our 10,000 m program this year. Our goals are to quickly advance towards an initial mineral resource at Hickey’s Pond, and systematically test the other high-priority epithermal targets on the property, each of which represents real discovery potential.” Phillip Walford, Burin Gold’...
