[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Triumph Gold Corp., (TSX-V: TIG) (OTCMKTS: TIGCF) (“Triumph Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the September 15th start of a geophysical program on its road accessible, 100% owned, Freegold Mountain property. The geophysical program encompasses the entire length of a multi-element soil anomaly that surrounds the Blue Sky, Revenue and Nucleus areas (Figure 1). The program is being conducted by SJ Geophysics and will include resistivity (DC), induced polarization (IP), magnetotelluric (MT), and ground magnetic surveys. The configuration of the IP survey is designed to provide data to a depth of 700 metres and the MT survey extends the depth of investigation to approximately 1,200 metres. The DC, IP and MT surveys will cover approximately 30 line-kilometres, with three 7 km long lines running the length of the soil anomaly from NW to SE, and three approximately 3 km long lines running across the Blue Sky Zone in a N-S orientation (Figure 1). The survey is expected to be complete by October 5 and will require several weeks for further data processing before final results will be delivered to the company. Follow Hyperlink to Figure 1. Age dating by the Mineral Deposit Research Unit (UBC), Yukon Geological Survey and other researchers has demonstrated that the newly discovered high-grade, gold-rich mineralization in the Blue Sky Zone (e.g. 316 m of 1.79 g/t AuEq* in RVD18-19, PR18-09) and WAu breccia (e.g. 128m of 1.27 g/t AuEq* in RVD18-08, PR18-07), as well as epithermal gold mineralization in the Nucleus area, are at least 30 million years younger than their host rocks. Therefore, the intrusive bodies, which are the cause of the mineralization, have yet to be discovered. The geophysical surveys are designed to test for an underlying intrusion that was a driver for the widespread and intense hydrothermal systems responsible for the near-surface mineralization. The surveys extend across, and up to 500 metres beyond, the full length of the six kilometre soil anomaly that encompasses the Blue Sky Porphyry, WAu breccia, Revenue, Nucleus, and numerous other showings. The length of the survey lines (7 km), and the dipole spacing (200 or 300 m), are optimized to test beneath the known, at- or near-surface zones of mineralization, to relate them to an underlyi...
