SNOWLINE GOLD CELEBRATES FIRST ANNIVERSARY – A LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Dear Shareholders,
Snowline Gold Corp. (CSE: SGD | US OTC: SNWGF) has had an amazing first year. As we celebrate our first anniversary, we want to reflect on the achievements of the past 12 months and to share our plans as we prepare for what promises to be a transformative year ahead in 2022.
Snowline began trading as SGD on the Canadian Securities Exchange on March 1, 2021.?Our core assets were seven carefully selected greenfield gold projects in Canada’s Yukon Territory. After listing, we immediately set to launch a safe, efficient, and effective field campaign during a pandemic, relying largely on local expertise and relationships with First Nations owned and partnered companies.
Remarkably, our first two drill programs – both on never-before drill tested targets – resulted in two new and significant gold discoveries: Jupiter and Valley.?These discoveries serve as strong proof-of-concept towards our thesis of a new North American gold district within our project portfolio. Snowline’s momentum continues to build as we turn our data and exploration ideas into district-scale discovery.
Highlights of our first year include:
Figure 1 – Jupiter “Before”: At the beginning of the 2021 field season, Einarson’s Jupiter zone was a recently identified, 3 km long float train of quartz boulders assaying up to 25.2 g/t Au, accompanied by a 3 km long zone of elevated to anomalous gold in soils.
Figure 2 – Jupiter “After”: The first ever drill testing of Jupiter yielded highly encouraging results, including these intersections (drilled widths) from diamond drill holes J-21-010 through J-21-013. Hole J-21-020, collared 1.1 km to the north, encountered visible gold and returned 8.3 g/t Au across 4.7 m, including 22.1 g/t Au over 1.1 m (drilled widths). That Jupiter is a “blind” target (very few outcrops, none mineralized) makes these results even more compelling, as they are random tests of a broader system rather than targeted shots within a known geological framework.
Figure 3 – Valley “Before”: Chip sampling conducted in 2012 by a previous operator returned 4.2 g/t Au over 4.7 m in Rogue’s Valley zone, with prospectors also noting the presence of sheeted quartz vein arrays. Despite these encouraging historical results, this and other gold targets at Rogue were returned to Snowline’s private precursor along with extensive regional data.
Figure 4 – Valley “After”: Snowline drilled the first ever holes into Valley, with four of four intersecting visible gold and broad zones of anomalous mineralization. Surface work delineated an associated, 900 m gold-in-soil anomaly as well as additional sheeted vein arrays associated with the intrusion.
LOOKING AHEAD
While 2021 was a big year for us, we are just getting started. Snowline is well positioned with over $8.5 M in the treasury to build on our discoveries and take major steps forward in 2022. We are already well underway with preparations for the upcoming field season. Key pieces in place include a drill on site at our Valley target, a second drill under contract, and a permit secured for a new, centralized exploration camp that will allow for more cost-effective exploration.
In the coming year, Snowline aims to:
And as always, we will be considering other strategic approaches towards increasing shareholder value, risk reduction and maximizing growth opportunities.
