[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prosper Gold Corp. (\"Prosper Gold\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV:PGX) is pleased to report channel sampling results from the Skinner North prospect and identification of exploration targets at the Skinner Target Area. The Skinner Target Area is 4 kilometres northwest of the Golden Corridor (Figure 1) and was identified by prospecting and 2021-2022 till sampling results. The Company completed stripping, channel sampling, and ground magnetics at the Skinner North for which all results have been received. Highlights Skinner Target Area is 2 x 3 km prospective area with limited outcropping bedrock Exposed a 6 to 12 metre wide shear zone for over 40 meters, open to east and west Channel sampling results include 9.69 gpt Au over 3 metres and 13.13 gpt Au over 1.8 metres Additional exploration targets identified for immediate follow-up “These channel samples are the highest-grade rock samples found to date by our team at the Golden Sidewalk Project,” commented Peter Bernier, CEO. “Prospecting, till sampling, and geophysics brought us to this area of the project, and we have spent the summer advancing this target to a drill ready state. We will commence drilling in the coming weeks.” Exploration at the Skinner North target area Beginning in June 2020, the Company has been defining exploration targets at the Skinner North target area. The Skinner North target area is characterized as a series of east-west trending faults and shears with strong alteration and local gold mineralization. The faults and shears are axial planar to kilometre-scale, east-northeast plunging folds. Initial rock sampling results by Prosper Gold at the Skinner North showing in 2020 include 16.3 g/t gold and 13.7 g/t gold from east-west trending quartz veins that were only partially exposed during historical hand pitting. The results from till sampling completed in late 2021 outlined a 3-kilometre gold grain-in-till train with individual samples containing up to 1,014 gold grains. The presence of glacially deposited sand covering much of the area in this part of the Project posed a challenge to the collection of representative till samples, with field crews collecting basal till samples where possible.
