Viva Gold Commences Work Program at Tonopah Gold Project in Nevada

01.10.2024  |  The Newswire
VANCOUVER - Viva Gold Corp. (TSX-Venture: VAU; OTCQB: VAUCF) (the "Company" or "Viva") is pleased announce that it has mobilized a reverse circulation drill rig to its Tonopah Gold Project ("Tonopah") in Nevada and work is expected to commence in the coming days.

The immediate work program will include completing approximately 15 to 20 drillholes before year end. The US Bureau of Land Management has approved the construction of twenty-five new drill pad locations for current and future use. Of these 25, approximately 21 are focused on infill and step-out drilling within the immediate 2022 PEA1 mineral resource area, and four are focused on exploration targets within the Company's larger claim block. The exploration drill hole locations were defined using geophysical data and the presence of favorable lithology and structure. As part of this program, we anticipate permanently placing at least three to five piezometers in drill-holes as they are completed and abandoned to capture data for use in groundwater modeling. Groundwater water baseline study is key part of Viva's ongoing work program with the goal of ensuring a smooth and efficient permitting process.

"We believe that we have developed a strong series of drill targets for this program to follow up on our very successful program that was executed earlier this year. We are targeting areas of inferred mineralization where additional drill confirmation is needed, as well as poorly drilled, undefined areas of potential mineralization within the resource pit boundary. We also anticipate completing some limited exploration drilling outside the primary resource area to help determine the larger potential of this project. Additional work includes the placement of groundwater data measurement infrastructure as part of our commitment to moving this project forward to feasibility study and permitting," stated James Hesketh, President & CEO.

Cautionary Note to Investors --- Investors are cautioned not to assume that any "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources", or "inferred mineral resources" that the Company reports in this news release are or will be economically or legally mineable. United States investors are cautioned that while the SEC now recognizes "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources", investors should not assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves. These terms have a great amount of uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. Under Canadian regulations, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in limited circumstances. Further, "inferred mineral resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that any part or all of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. The mineral reserve and mineral resource data set out in this news release are estimates, and no assurance can be given that the anticipated tonnages and grades will be achieved or that the indicated level of recovery will be realized.
