[{"type":"text","content":"Kapa Gold Provides Update on Recently Completed On-Site Visit at Blackhawk PropertyVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 14, 2023) - KAPA GOLD INC. (TSXV: KAPA) (\"KapaGold\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to provide the following update on the geology and mineral deposit analysis on its polymetallic Blackhawk property, Lucerne Valley, California.Multiple High-Grade samples collected (as reported in May 8, 2023 News Release): Gold 75.1, 66.9 & 39.7 g/t, Silver 3,680 & 2,360 g/t, Copper >10 & 9.35%, Zinc 24.2% and lead 12.7 & >10% along a 3.5km contact zone at the Blackhawk Property.In July 2023, KapaGold completed a follow up geological mapping-mineral deposit analysis program that was focused on the Parton Quarry area located near the eastern end of the Blackhawk property, Lucerne Valley, California. This program utilized results from two exploration programs: 1) a March 2023 drone magnetic survey over the entire Blackhawk property and in particular the magnetic expression of the intrusive complex, herein termed Parton Intrusive Complex, that outcrops peripheral to and beneath the limestone-marble that formed the past-producing Parton Limestone Quarry, and 2) the October 2022 mapping program that identified narrow silicified faults with elevated precious and base metal abundances: Gold 0.98 - 2.3 g/t, Silver 65.3 - >100 g/t, Copper 0.79%, and Lead 0.84%. These fault zones are located near the highest point in the south eastern area of the Parton Quarry which has not been disturbed during previous mining and subsequent mine rehabilitation. The weakly mineralized structures were interpreted as distal hydrothermal leakage zones related to a precious-base metal skarn mineral deposit type.Figure 1 - Location of prospects and past producers, Blackhawk property.

These vein complexes are topographically below the above weakly mineralized silicified fault zones and record a deeper level/proximal, more robust hydrothermal alteratio...
