[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 3, 2023 / Sassy Gold Corp. (\"Sassy\" or the \"Company\") (CSE:SASY) (FSE:4E7) (OTCQB:SSYRF) continues to expand the 4Amigos Vein along strike and to depth and has drilled into a new high-grade vein parallel to 4Amigos at the Company's Westmore Gold Discovery, part of its 100%-owned Foremore Project in Northwest British Columbia's prolific Eskay Camp, 45 km northeast of the Eskay Creek mine. Drilling Highlights: Eighteen of 19 drill holes in the 2022 program, totaling 3,740 meters (m), intersected mineralization at Westmore, the highest percentage of \"hits\" since Westmore drilling began in 2020; Drill hole WM22-033 resulted in the discovery of a new vein 20 m north of 4Amigos, highlighted by 74.6 g/t Au over 0.35 m starting just 27.65 m downhole with numerous flecks of VG (visible gold) noted; Sassy now has 19 drill hole pierce points into the 4Amigos Vein. A higher-grade section of the vein >150 meters in strike, and approximately 90 meters below surface, has grades that range from 1.1 g/t Au over 0.60 m to 86.4 g/t over 0.70 m; Drilling successfully intersected the quartz stockworks system that defines the south cliff of Westmore with intercepts up to 11.55 g/t Au over 0.59 m within this structure. The Company has also developed a new vein corridor, the South Cliff vein corridor; One of the last drill holes of the 2022 campaign (WM22-035) cut three separate mineralized intervals, including two at depth with grades as high as 5.82 g/t Au in quartz veining, to confirm that gold mineralization occurs at the Westmore intrusive over ~470 m in the vertical dimension; Gold occurring in quartz veins, in granodiorite at depth, suggests the Westmore intrusive continues south of the southern cliff exposure and possibly deep under the More Creek Glacier to the south and east. Mr. Mark Scott, Sassy President and CEO, commented: \"The Westmore discovery is in its early stages and continues to impress our geological team. Extensive surface mineralization has now been traced to a depth of nearly 500 meters in drill core after a successful program in 2022, with over two dozen veins now identified, yet the source of this mineralization remains unknown.\" Mark Scott concluded: \"As our understanding of this Eskay Camp system evolves through continued drilling, we would expect to see wider intercepts and h...
