[{"type":"text","content":"Sky Gold Discovers New Gold Target and Expands the Evening Star Property, NevadaVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 30, 2021 / Sky Gold Corp. (TSX-V:SKYG) (US:SRKZF) (\"Sky Gold Corp.\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the discovery of another new mineralized occurrence that has returned high grade gold and silver values on its Evening Star Property, located in Mineral County, Nevada. Known as the \"Towerview Zone\", the mineralization was discovered through prospecting, followed by geological mapping, rock and soil sampling, in areas north of the recently announced \"High Life Copper Zone\" (Press Release November 4, 2021). A total of 65 rock samples (grab and chip samples*) have been taken over a trend length of approximately 1.0 kilometer in a West-North-West direction, by approximately 200 meters width. The arithmetic average is 2.007 parts per million gold (Au ppm), 8.71 ppm silver (Ag), 1,115 ppm copper, 595 ppm lead (Pb) and 340 ppm zinc (Zn). Peak values were 18.210 ppm Au, 97.60 ppm Ag, and +10,000 ppm Cu (i.e. 1 Cu%). Significantly, two samples comprising composite chips from limonitic, fractured felsic granitoid units, at the entrance of a historic decline adit returned 8.530 ppm Au (6.00 ppm Ag, 154 ppm Cu) across a 2.4 meter width (east side), and 6.880 ppm Au (53.5 ppm Ag, and 1,210 ppm Cu) over 1.8 meter width (west side). Table with all results are posted on the Company's website, http://skygoldcorp.com.Seventeen (17) rock samples (*) returned +2.00 ppm Au (over 25% of the samples taken) indicating widespread gold mineralization along the 1 kilometer strike length. Two well defined gold anomalies have been identified (North-West (\"NW\") Target and South-East (\"SE\") Target) and were further investigated with two soil grids over these areas. In addition, stream sediments (silt) samples were collected over a much larger area to determine if anomalous gold and copper values may be present in bedrock away from the newly discovered Towerview target.The Towerview target is located approximately 1.25 to 2.00 kilometers North-North-West of the center of the High Life Copper Zone. An additional 28 unpatented mineral claims have been staked and filed with the County to cover the new gold target. The gold mineralization is hosted in sheared and altered granitic rocks. Minor oxide copper mineralization was obse...
