The hole was collared 153 m northwest of recent high grade discovery holesAssays pending for 5 additional holes at Jupiter, including J-21-020 which intersected visible gold 1.1 km north of discovery holes, within a 3 km gold-in-soil anomaly.VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 18, 2021 / SNOWLINE GOLD CORP. (CSE:SGD)(OTCQB:SNWGF) (the \"Company\" or \"Snowline\") is pleased to announce additional assay results from Phase I drilling at the Jupiter zone on its district-scale Einarson gold project in the Yukon Territory, Canada. The highlight of these results are from Hole J-21-015, which was collared 153 metres northwest of previous holes J-21-010 to J-21-013 (see Snowline press releases dated August 25, 2021 and October 13, 2021). The hole intersected a wide, mineralized quartz-carbonate breccia which averaged 13.7 g/t Au over 3.6 metres beginning at 119.1 metres downhole.Figure 1 - J-21-015, from 119.0 m to 124.2 m downhole. Brecciated and stylolitic textures dominate the quartz carbonate zone. Siltstone wall-rock clasts and acicular arsenopyrite comprise grey areas, with pyrite also present. Sample boundaries on the core are marked in red. The predominantly siltstone section immediately above the main vein (119.1 - 119.75 m) returned 17.5 g/t Au over 0.65 m. The 0.95 m interval at the base of the zone (121.75 - 122.7 m) returned 25.2 g/t Au. The two 1.0 m samples from between these returned 7.17 and 6.89 g/t Au. True width of the zone is not known but is estimated between 50-70% of the downhole width.\"We are excited to intersect additional high-grade gold mineralization in this significant step-out from our discovery holes,\" said Scott Berdahl, CEO and director of Snowline. \"Jupiter is a blind target-it's close to the surface but covered by thin overburden. We did not have a mineralized discovery outcrop to trench nor to drill, so our Phase 1 holes were somewhat random tests of a blind system. Nonetheless, these drill holes are regularly hitting gold, and this l...
