[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 19, 2021 /CNW/ - Montage Gold Corp. (\"Montage\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV: MAU) is pleased to report the final results of its Phase 1 resource expansion drill program at the Morondo Gold Project (\"MGP\") in Côte d'Ivoire. \"The completion of the Phase 1 expansion drill campaign marks a significant milestone for Morondo. The program has achieved our goal of confirming and further demonstrating the scale potential and simplicity of the Koné deposit. This puts us in a great position for the delivery of the Inferred Mineral Resource update expected by the end of the month,\" commented Hugh Stuart, CEO and Director of Montage. \"In many respects, the Koné orebody is similar to a porphyry gold deposit, with very homogenous mineralization and significant true widths up to 330m. It is an ideal open pit development project that can easily be mined on a large scale at low cost thanks to its very low expected strip ratio, relatively soft rock, and favorable location with respect to access and cheap grid power. In addition, the presence of higher-grade intervals within the wider mineralized envelope gives us the opportunity to process at an elevated cut-off grade during the earlier years of the project and this is something we have been evaluating. We continue to deliver on the plans we set for ourselves at the IPO of Montage and look forward to delivering a robust PEA as the next major milestone for the Company at the end of Q1 2021.\" HIGHLIGHTS Resource expansion drilling extends known mineralization to depths of up to 450m and expands strike length of the current deposit to over 2km. Phase 1 drill campaign confirms average true width of continuous mineralization exceeds 200m over 800m of strike including: MDD014: 200.9m at 0.80g/t including 48.64m grading 1.90g/t MDD015B: 330.7m at 0.58g/t including 99.45m grading 0.96g/t MDD023: 226m at 0.77g/t including 105m grading 1.24g/t Inferred Mineral Resource update by end of January 2021. 35,000m Phase 2 drill program underway.
