[{"type":"text","content":"Ophir Gold Corp. Drills 13.02 g/t Gold and 46.6 g/t Silver over 7.4 m at the Breccia Gold Property, IdahoVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 1, 2021) - Ophir Gold Corp. (TSXV: OPHR) (FSE: 80M) (OTCQB: KPZIF) (\"Ophir\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce sample assays results for the first four (4) holes of the 2021 drill program at the Company's flagship Breccia Gold Property (the \"Property\"). The Company holds an Option to earn 100% interest in the Property, which is located approximately 40 km southwest of Salmon, Idaho, and is accessible directly by road. A total of 2,063.2 m (~6,769 ft) over ten (10) holes were completed as part of the program, which is now complete; crews have demobilized from site. The drill program targeted the Breccia Gold Zone, which is situated within the larger Meadows Fault Zone. Core sample assays for the first series of drill holes have been received and are reported herein for drill holes BG21-001, 002, 003A, and 004. Highlights include:13.02 g/t Au and 46.6 g/t Ag over 7.4 m (BG21-004)3.23 g/t Au over 8.0 m, including 40 g/t Au over 0.57 m (BG21-001)1.39 g/t Au over 14.1 m, including 5.48 g/t Au over 1.5 m (BG21-003A)1.56 g/t Au over 3.1 m (BG21-002)Company CEO Shawn Wescott commented: \"We are very excited by sample assays from our initial series of drill holes from our maiden drill program at Breccia, as well as the textures and alteration we observed downhole. The drill results provide further support that we are in upper regions of a large low-sulphidation epithermal system, indicating considerable potential at depth and along strike. The high-grade hit in BG21-004 is precisely what we are chasing. We are very excited for follow-up drilling of this area in 2022.\"Gold mineralization was encountered in all four (4) drill holes sampled for assay (BG21-001, 002, 003A, and 004), highlighted by BG21-004 where 13.02 g/t Au and 46.6 g/t Ag over 7.4 m was returned from a metasedimentary clast breccia, with localized vugs and bladed quartz, and pervasive iron-manganese oxide alteration (Table 1, Photo 1).
