(Southern Empire) (TSXV:SMP) (Frankfurt:5RE) has now finished the first of five confirmation core drill holes at its Eastgate Gold Project located in Churchill County, Nevada. This first core hole (EG20-01) was drilled to a total depth of 673 feet at an azimuth of 310o and a dip of -80o from the same collar location as the fan of Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes completed by Cabot Resources Corp. in 1990.\n\n\n \nEastgate Gold Project - Core Drill Program Highlights:\n\n\n \n\n\n- Approximately 915 metres (3,000 feet) of core drilling to be completed\n\n\n\n- First phase of drilling is expected to finish in approximately three weeks\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n- Core drill program is intended to confirm historical gold mineralization outlined by a fan of RC drill holes completed by Cabot Resources Corp. in 1990, the results of which included:\n\n\n\n \n\nRC Hole \n\n\n\n\n Intercept*\n\n\n\n\n Intercept*\n\n\n \n\n\n(metres of grams gold/tonne)\n\n\n\n\n(feet of oz gold/ton)\n\n\n\n\nRC90 CEG-1\n\n\n\n\n3.05 m of 7.58 g Au/t\n\n\n\n\n10.0 ft of 0.22 oz Au/ton\n\n\n\n\nRC90 CEG-2\n\n\n\n\n4.57 m of 10.30 g Au/t\n\n\n\n\n15.0 ft of 0.30 oz Au/ton\n\n\n\n\nRC90 CEG-3\n\n\n\n\n3.05 m of 3.77 g Au/t\n\n\n\n\n10.0 ft of 0.11 oz Au/ton\n\n\n\n\nRC90 CEG-4\n\n\n\n\n1.52 m of 1.71 g Au/t\n\n\n\n\n 5.0 ft of 0.05 oz Au/ton\n\n\n\n\nRC90 CEG-5\n\n\n\n\n3.05 m of 8.57 g Au/t\n\n\n\n\n10.0 ft of 0.25 oz Au/ton\n\n\n\n \n*drill intercept length - true thickness unknown\n\n\n \nData Verification, Sampling Procedures and Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC)\n\n \n \nNo historical RC drill cuttings exist for the Eastgate Gold Project. Historical RC hole locations are based on exploration map grids that have been subsequently field checked and tied into the UTM co-ordinate system. With no reliable downhole survey data available for historical drill holes, there is uncertainty regarding their relative end of hole positions. Falcon Drilling, Inc., of Carson City, Nevada are the drill contractors for Southern Empire's current program. \n\n \n \nFor the 2020 core drill program, all drill core will be logged (geological and geotechnical), tagged, photographed, sawn and zones of significant alteration a...
