[{"type":"text","content":"\n BISHOP, Calif., Aug. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- North Bay Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “North Bay”) (OTC: NBRI) is pleased to announce multiple high-grade gold assays from its Fran Gold Joint Venture (the “Property” or “Fran”). Samples were taken from the primary area of gold mineralization at the Bullion Alley Zone proximate to trenches B and C. Multiple high-grade assays, in excess of 1 ounce per ton, up to 2.2 ounces per ton, have been received, indicating a larger high-grade area of near surface mineralization. This central area is recognized as the richest area in the Bullion Alley Zone and is supported by extensive recent and historical sampling and drilling, with over 50,000 feet of diamond drilling in 104 holes. A gold deposit from surface, 3700 feet in length, width of up to 120 feet, and depth of over 700 feet has been delineated. The B and C Sub-Zones were recently re-established during Spring 2024 exploration program with composite samples in both trenches assaying 0.53 and 0.44 troy ounces per ton respectively, prompting further investigation over a wider area during the Summer 2024 exploration program.

Milligan Copper, Gold Mine (299Mt @ 0.22% Cu, .45 g/t Au). To date there has been in excess of 50,000 feet of diamond drilling in 104 holes at Fran, primarily at the Bullion Alley Zone. Fran Contact Zone is defined by a 100 degree striking, steeply dipping monzodiorite porphyry/volcaniclastic-hornfels lithology contact where quartz-carbonate-sulphide zones occur along shear zones, as veins, breccia and extension fractures, as infilling, varying from 2 feet to 30 feet width. The central area in and around Trenches B and C remains the focus of o...
