[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 18, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Newcore Gold Ltd. (\"Newcore\" or the \"Company\") (TSX-V: NCAU, OTCQX: NCAUF) is pleased to announce additional drill results from the 66,000 metre drill program underway at the Company’s 100% owned Enchi Gold Project (\"Enchi\" or the \"Project\") in Ghana. Drilling at the Kwakyekrom Gold Target (\"Kwakyekrom\") has intersected 0.61 grams per tonne gold (\"g/t Au\") over 50.0 metres (\"m\") from 148 m, including 1.36 g/t Au over 9.0 m from 164 m, and 1.19 g/t Au over 20.0 m from 112 m, including 2.75 g/t Au over 5.0 m from 113 m. These results continue to expand the gold mineralization outside of the previously tested area, including down dip and along strike to the south by 500 metres. These results have now expanded the drill tested strike extent to 1.3 kilometres at Kwakyekrom, a target which is outlined on surface by a four-kilometre-long by one-to-two-kilometre-wide gold-in-soil anomaly. Newcore is also pleased to announce positive metallurgical results from bottle roll tests completed on the Kwakyekrom Gold Target, with samples achieving an average gold recovery of 79.8%. Kwakyekrom is one of the most advanced exploration targets at Enchi with no currently defined gold resource. Highlights Drilling at Kwakyekrom has intersected wide zones of mineralization, including high-grade core structures, extending the zone down dip: Deepest intercepts to date on the central portion of the target, with holes KKRC051 and KKRC056 crossing the main structure approximately 150 metres vertically below surface. Hole KKRC051 intersected 0.61 g/t Au over 50.0 m from 148 m to 198 m, including 1.36 g/t Au over 9.0 m from 164 m to 173 m (sulphide zone). Drilling continues to expand the gold mineralization within the near surface oxide zone and upper portions of the sulphide mineralization at Kwakyekrom: Hole KKRC055 intersected two gold mineralized zones, 1.21 g/t Au over 4.0 m from 8 m to 12 m (oxide zone) and 0.94 g/t Au over 13.0 m from 108 m to 121 m (sulphide zone). Hole KKRC048, completed on the southern limit of the previous tested area, intersected two gold mineralized zones 1.29 g/t Au over 15.0 m from 58 m to 73 m (upper sulphide zone) and 1.86 g/t Au over 11.0 m from 111 m to 122 m (sulphide zone). Hole KKRC065, the most southernly drilled hole to date and a 500-me...
