SAN JOSE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 10, 2022 / Guskin Gold Corp (OTCQB:GKIN) ("Guskin Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to report on the Tepa Concession work program and initial assessment of the economic potential of the 50-acre property.
A one-week due diligence work program was completed of the project area and to estimate the alluvial gold potential of the Concession and the proposed work area.
The Tepa project is located along the eastern edge of the renowned Sefwi-Bibiani Gold Belt. The geologic nature of the Tepa deposit includes both alluvial and eluvial gold deposits.
The gold in the area is of fine to medium grain with few flowery and floating types. The distribution of the gold is found in the overlying sand as well as the gravel layers. The overlying silty sands are all part of the payload to be washed and can be processed for gold.
A total of fourteen (14) test pits were dug, and all test pits showed positive gold presence within the concentrate after washing the gravel (see Figure 1) with an average gravel grade of 0.41 g/m3 of gold.
The concentrate from each of the pits was amalgamated using mercury and using a digital scale, individual gold concentrates were weighed in grams for each of the selected pits. Grade was calculated by dividing the weighted gram of each pit by its reduced volume of 80% to cater for the swell factor of the material washed.
In Guskin's resource evaluation modelling, the effective area established was determined to be 33.8 acres which corresponds to 136,700 square meters. The average gravel thickness was 0.8m, hence the volume of the estimated gravel resource is 136,700 x 0.8 = 109,360 m3. With a weighted average grade of 0.41 g / m3, the gold contents are estimated to be 0.41 x 109,360 = 44,838 grams (or 44.84 kilograms), for a gross production value of over $2,667 million USD (assuming gold price of $1,850 USD / ounce). *
"A solid and profitable resource has been established and we are ready to quickly start gold production on this project." Mrs. Naana Asante, CEO of Guskin Gold states. "The project allows the company cash flow that can be re-invested in opening additional alluvial projects, which can then in turn fund our hard-rock exploration efforts. We are very pleased with the results and look forward to keeping our shareholders informed."
