Drills 3.05 g/t Gold over 11.8 m, Within Wider Zone of 1.68 g/t Gold over 22.8 m at the Breccia Gold Property, IdahoVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 9, 2022) - Ophir Gold Corp. (TSXV: OPHR) (FSE: 80M) (OTCQB: KPZIF) (\"Ophir\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce sample assays results for the final five (5) holes of the 2021 drill program at the Company's flagship Breccia Gold Property (the \"Property\"). The drill program targeted the Breccia Gold Zone, which is situated within the larger Meadows Fault Zone. 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, with results for the first set of drill holes announced December 1st, 2021, highlighted by drill hole BG21-004 which returned 13.02 g/t Au and 46.6 g/t Ag over 7.4 m. Core sample assays for the remaining five (5) holes (BG21-005 through 009) of the 2021 drill program are reported herein, and highlights include: BG21-06: 1.68 g/t Au and 5.6 g/t Ag over 22.8 m, including,3.05 g/t Au and 10.4 g/t Ag over 11.8 m BG21-05: 0.02 g/t Au and 6,940 g/t Ag over 9.5 m** The bottom 9.5 m of hole 005 returned very poor core recoveries (<10%), and the grade may not be representative of the interval.Company CEO Shawn Wescott commented: \"We are pleased to report additional intervals of strong gold-silver mineralization in this final series of holes from our 2021 drill program at the Property. These results are very encouraging and build upon our first set of results that returned numerous gold-silver intervals, including BG21-004 that returned 7.4 m of 13.02 g/t Au and 46.6 g/t Ag. Our inaugural drill program at the Breccia Gold Zone has confirmed a much larger breccia system than was previously understood as well as demonstrated its potential for precious metal mineralization. We look forward to following up these results with additional drilling in the spring/summer 2022.\" The strongest gold mineralization from the five (5) drill holes reported herein was encountered in BG21-006 and included 3.05 g/t Au and 10.4 g/t Ag over 11.8 m, within a wider mineralized interval of 1.68 g/t Au and 5.6 g/t Ag over 22.8 m, star...
