[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 16, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Newcore Gold Ltd. (\"Newcore\" or the \"Company\") (TSX-V: NCAU, OTCQX: NCAUF) is pleased to announce an update on exploration and development activities underway at the Company’s 100% owned Enchi Gold Project (\"Enchi\" or the \"Project\") in Ghana. Diamond Drilling (\"DD\") at the Nyam Gold Deposit (\"Nyam\"), targeting high-grade mineralization in the upper portions of the sulphide mineralization, intersected 3.28 grams per tonne gold (\"g/t Au\") over 11.0 metres (\"m\"), within a broader zone of 1.58 g/t Au over 26.3 m. Nyam is one of the currently identified deposits at Enchi where drilling continues to highlight the potential for longer-term resource growth from delineating high-grade underground resources in the sulphide mineralization. In addition to drilling, results of metallurgical testing on sulphide mineralization from Nyam confirmed excellent gold recoveries averaging 91.7%. Additional exploration work underway at Enchi includes trenching on several kilometre-scale gold anomalies which continues to advance early-stage targets towards the drill testing stage, and further metallurgical testwork of both the oxide and sulphide mineralization. Highlights from Diamond Drilling and Metallurgical Testwork at Nyam Drilling targeting high-grade mineralization in the upper portions of the sulphides continues to highlight the potential for resource growth at Enchi. Hole NBDD063 intersected 1.58 g/t Au over 26.3 metres, including 3.28 g/t Au over 11.0 m and 6.57 g/t Au over 4.0 m; and Hole NBDD064 intersected 1.16 g/t Au over 36.4 m, including 2.03 g/t Au over 17.4 m. Drilling followed-up on two northerly plunging high-grade zones identified at Nyam. Five holes tested the down dip and lateral extensions to high-grade gold mineralization previously identified at Nyam in two shoots (central and southern); and To date, the Nyam deposit has only been tested to a maximum vertical depth of 350 metres and remains open for further expansion to depth. Results of metallurgical testing on sulphide material from the Nyam Gold Deposit confirms excellent recoveries from cyanidation averaging 91.7%. 14 composite samples were analysed by a series of bottle roll tests and returned an average gold recovery of 91.7% (ranging from 82.7% to 98.0%).
