TORONTO, Nov. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BULGOLD Inc. (TSXV: ZLTO) (the Firm or BULGOLD) is happy to announce that it has acquired all excellent assay knowledge regarding the Lutila Gold Venture (the Property). This info has now been validated and included into the Firm’s database. The Lutila exploration licence covers an space of 32.2km2 and is potential for quartz-adularia epithermal gold mineralisation.
- Highlights
- Drill gap CVDD001, drilled throughout the North East Block, intersected a number of low-grade gold intervals inside rhyolite movement dome rocks; finest interval of 18m @ 0.14g/t Au, 1,071g/t As & 167g/t Sb (from 33m).
- Drill holes RRDD001 and RRDD002, drilled from the identical drill pad throughout the Sinter Area didn’t intersect any important gold intervals; there have been some indications of hydrothermal exercise i.e. silicified pyroclastic rocks with disseminated pyrite.
- Persistent prospecting exercise led to the invention of epithermal quartz vein materials on the best peak throughout the Sinter Area; situated 2.7km north alongside Rhyolite Ridge from RRDD001 and RRDD002 and 1.7km south west from CVDD001. That is the primary time that epithermal quartz veins have been recognised throughout the Sinter Area and validate the Firm’s exploration mannequin.
- Moreover, 500m north east and alongside strike from the epithermal quartz veins the Firm found an space of historic mining situated on the finish of the ridgeline. A slot has been mined into the ridge face which measures 70m in width and 40m in top with the corresponding waste dump measuring roughly 200m in size and as much as 50m large. The waste dump is outlined by an historic antimony soil anomaly. Rocks throughout the historic mining space are predominantly strongly silicified ± chalcedonic veins, movement banded rhyolite and sure signify publicity of the upflow zone that the Firm has been exploring for throughout the Lutila Gold Venture.
- Mapping and evaluation of all sinters throughout the Sinter Area revealed that sinters situated on Rhyolite Ridge (on the highest elevations) mirror the best temperatures of formation and subsequently proximity to the new springs or outflow zones which continues to help the view that the 5km-long Rhyolite Ridge is likely one of the main exploration targets on the Property.
- The Firm commenced its maiden drilling programme on the Property lower than a yr after incorporating a neighborhood subsidiary (Stredné Slovensko s.r.o.), demonstrating that the Firm’s coverage of proactive engagement with stakeholders leads to a larger understanding of the fashionable gold exploration course of.
- The Property is situated 5km south, alongside strike and throughout the similar volcanic despair that hosts the historic quartz-adularia Kremnica gold mine (present JORC (2012) mineral useful resource estimate of two.7Moz Au2). Historic gold manufacturing is estimated by Finka (1995) to be 1.48Moz1.
- Exploration goal: underground, high-grade gold (Au) ± silver (Ag) quartz veins.

Quote from the President & CEO, Mr Sean Hasson:
The invention of strongly antimony anomalous epithermal quartz veins along with the close by space of historic mining signify a pivotal second within the exploration of the Lutila Gold Venture.
The Firm has drill examined Rhyolite Ridge 2.7km south of this location and used the incidence and distribution of outcropping sinters to information such drilling efforts. It’s now clear to the Firm that future exploration drilling ought to happen inside this +1,000m portion of Rhyolite Ridge the place epithermal quartz veins are discovered at floor along with historic mining exercise which offer direct proof for the presence of epithermal veins at depth beneath the ridgeline throughout the upflow zone.
The Lutila Gold Venture is situated favourably between two of the biggest Au-Ag epithermal techniques throughout the Central Slovakia Volcanic Area, the Kremnica gold deposit and the Banska Å tiavnica gold-silver ore discipline, which, collectively, have produced important quantities of treasured metals over many centuries.
At BULGOLD we imagine that the artwork of discovery is outlined by subtlety, and one doesn’t have to be reminded that the Fruta del Norte gold mine was found by drilling beneath a floor antimony anomaly to disclose the 300m lengthy high-grade core of the deposit. With that in thoughts, the Firm is evaluating quite a few choices to progress the invention course of on the Lutila Gold Venture.
2. Exploration Drilling
Three diamond drill holes had been accomplished by the Firm as a part of its 2024 exploration programme. CVDD001 was drilled throughout the North East Block to check the ÄŒertov vrch goal space and RRDD001 and RRDD002 had been subsequently drilled from the identical drill pad throughout the Sinter Area on the western aspect of Rhyolite Ridge. A complete of 1,615.8m was drilled, sampled and assayed; particular person drill gap particulars are outlined under:
Gap No. | Grid Identify | X | Y | Z | Dip | Azimuth | Depth |
CVDD001 | U™35N | 344666 | 5392610 | 594 | -67.4 | 091 | 515.4 |
RRDD001 | U™35N | 342611 | 5388686 | 519 | -66.7 | 091 | 600 |
RRDD002 | U™35N | 342618 | 5388688 | 519 | -50.3 | 126 | 500.4 |
Desk 1. Exploration drill gap info.
CVDD001
Gold anomalous intervals from CVDD001, concentrating on beneath the ÄŒertov vrch prospect space are outlined under:
- 18m @ 0.14g/t Au, 1,071g/t As, 167g/t Sb (from 33m)
- 5m @ 0.13g/t Au, 988g/t As, 96g/t Sb (from 126m)
- 6m @ 0.13g/t Au, 300g/t As, 30g/t Sb (from 358m)
2m minimal composite size, 2m most inner dilution, 0.1g/t Au cut-off; the Firm considers this to signify a ˜geological cut-off’ which reveals that gold is current in rhyolite volcanic rocks at anomalous values.
Geologically, CVDD001 intersected the next volcanic models:
- 0 “ 23m: Feldspar-phyric rhyolite tuff.
- 23 “ 51m: Rhyolite pyroclastic breccia.
- 51 “ 340m: Stream banded rhyolite with steep, wispy, veinlets of chalcedony ( ± quartz) + pyrite roughly one per metre from 51 “ 305m, after which the veinlets change into carbonate + pyrite dominant from 305 “ 340m.
- 340 “ 481m: Stream banded feldspar-phyric rhyodacite with steep carbonate + pyrite veinlets dominating regularly; pyrite additionally replaces hornblende phenocrysts and feldspar phenocrysts are variously altered to yellow/inexperienced smectite clays; robust to intense propylitic alteration.
- 481 “ 488m: Rhyolite volcanic breccia, matrix supported with non-flow banded clasts of rhyodacite to dacite; feldspar phenocrysts are altered to inexperienced smectite clays and hornblendes have been changed by pyrite and domestically transformed to iron oxides with disseminated pyrite inside a purple fine-grained matrix.
- 488 “ 515.4m: Dacite with >70% feldspar phenocrysts altered to inexperienced smectite clays with accent hornblende ± biotite generally altered to iron oxides, quartz phenocrysts, when current, typically present corroded rims. Steep carbonate + pyrite veinlets, along with disseminated pyrite within the matrix enhance from 502m.
Operationally, core restoration was good and averaged 99%. Drilling charges had been affordable; nevertheless, mechanical points with the drill rig resulted in important drilling downtime which led to the Firm deciding to halt the drill gap at 515.4m somewhat than persevering with drilling and danger shedding the HQ drill string. The drill gap could possibly be re-entered at a future date.

Examples of gold mineralised drill core from CVDD001; (A): hydrothermal breccia containing disseminated marcasite and clasts of quartz vein (higher left), chalcedonic quartz fragments and rhyolite volcanic rock (35.6m); (B): chalcedonic quartz vein with lattice bladed quartz textures (circled in purple) inside rhyolite rock (36.2m); (C): brecciated rhyolite rock with chalcedonic quartz matrix infill with minor disseminated and blebby marcasite (38.1m); (D): hydrothermal breccia containing chalcedonic quartz fragments with disseminated marcasite in rhyolite volcanic rock (51m).
Determine 2. Schematic geological cross part exhibiting drill gap CVDD001 in relation to the gold mineralised quartz veins believed to be deposited inside an upflow zone beneath the ridgeline that the Firm was concentrating on.
RRDD001 & RRDD002
The drill website was chosen to check the center of the 4km lengthy, north-south trending portion of Rhyolite Ridge that’s surrounded by sinters, which signify the floor expression of upflow zones. The Firm believed that this location was consultant when it comes to testing the potential of Rhyolite Ridge for mineralised epithermal veins at depth beneath the ridgeline, the place we believed they might have been deposited inside an upflow zone.
Geologically, RRDD001 intersected the next volcanic models:
- 3 “ 23m: Epiclastic rocks, coarse volcanic sandstones, advantageous grained tuff and lithic tuffs with weak bedding and grading along with devitrification textures after volcanic glass.
- 23 “ 45m: Block and ash pyroclastic movement.
- 45 “ 64m: Epiclastic rocks, polymictic volcanic sandstone to conglomerate composed of rhyolite materials.
- 64 “ 170.8m: Block and ash pyroclastic movement.
- 170.8 “ 289m: Epiclastic rocks, volcaniclastic conglomerate and sandstone with intercalated tuff bands with spherulitic textures.
- 289 “ 411m: Block and ash pyroclastic movement, matrix supported with clasts of movement and non-flow banded rhyolite; from 370m the ash/glass matrix is altered to yellow/inexperienced zeolite and/or smectite clays.
- 411.5 “ 462m: Epiclastic rocks, volcaniclastic conglomerate and coarse sandstone with tuff bands.
- 462 “ 481m: Block and ash pyroclastic movement with minor inexperienced zeolite and/or smectite clays.
- 481 “ 485.3m: Silicified block and ash pyroclastic movement with disseminated and blebby marcasite within the matrix.
- 485.3 “ 600m: Lacustrine sedimentary rocks, gray marls, black mudstones, gray, partly calcareous sandstones, inexperienced siltstones and lesser coarse sandstone composed of rounded quartz, limestone (marble?) and minor volcanic derived clasts.
Following the completion of RRDD001, the geological mannequin was revised to include the presence of lacustrine sedimentary rocks throughout the stratigraphy which might doubtless act as an aquitard throughout the upflow zone and to mirror the larger thickness of the volcanic pile (rhyolite pyroclastic/epiclastic merchandise). The Firm was inspired by the silicification with related marcasite of the pyroclastic movement instantly above the contact with the lacustrine sedimentary rocks and likewise the smectite alteration of the matrix throughout the pyroclastic flows. As such, it was determined to collar RRDD002 at a shallower angle from the identical drill pad in order to cross the ridgeline and make sure (or not) the presence of an upflow zone beneath this portion of Rhyolite Ridge.

Geologically, RRDD002 intersected the next volcanic models:
- 5.3 “ 24.5m: Epiclastic rocks, tuff, coarse volcanic sandstone composed of rhyolite rock.
- 24.5 “ 57m: Block and ash pyroclastic movement.
- 57 “ 81.6m: Epiclastic rocks, coarse, polymictic, volcanic sandstone and conglomerate.
- 81.6 “ 206.2m: Block and ash pyroclastic movement.
- 206.2 “ 428.1m: Epiclastic rocks, coarse volcanic sandstone/conglomerate/breccia composed of lithic rhyolite clasts with tuff layers.
- 428.1 “ 500.4m: Block and ash pyroclastic movement.
RRDD002 failed to point out proof of an upflow zone under this portion of Rhyolite Ridge.
3. Epithermal Quartz Veins throughout the Sinter Area
Persistent prospecting following the completion of exploration drilling led to the invention of epithermal quartz veins on and just under the equal highest peak (687mRL) throughout the Sinter Area. The quartz vein materials is situated 60m vertically above and 1km north east from the closest outcropping sinter. Sinters type on the paleo-water desk, whereas epithermal quartz veins type beneath the paleo-water desk.
Determine 4. Area photographs of the epithermal quartz vein items situated on the equal highest peak throughout the Sinter Area.
The epithermal quartz vein fragments signify the high-level expression of an upflow zone situated beneath this +1,000m portion of Rhyolite Ridge, the place the general strike of the ridge abruptly modifications from a north-south to a north-east orientation. The vein items are dominated by low temperature, low fluid-flux textures and are generally coarsely banded chalcedonic quartz with zones of quartz lattice bladed textures which point out that boiling has occurred. Minor included fragments of rhyolite rock throughout the vein items clearly signifies that the veins fashioned inside rhyolite rock. They’re strongly anomalous for antimony (common of 228g/t Sb) with very low ranges of Au, Ag and As and correlate nicely with the historic Sb soil geochemistry.
Moreover, 500m north east and alongside strike from the epithermal quartz veins the Firm found an space of historic mining situated on the finish of the ridgeline. A slot has been mined into the ridge face which measures 70m in width and 40m in top with the corresponding waste dump measuring roughly 200m in size and as much as 50m large. The waste dump is outlined by a historic antimony soil anomaly. Rocks throughout the historic mining space are predominantly strongly silicified ± chalcedonic veins, movement banded rhyolite and sure signify publicity of the upflow zone that the Firm has been exploring for throughout the Lutila Gold Venture (Determine 6).
Historic gold exploration throughout the Lutila Gold Venture has been ongoing for hundreds of years given its location instantly south and alongside strike from the Kremnica gold deposit, which has been mined for about 1,000 years, and in that point, that is the primary recorded incidence of epithermal quartz veins throughout the Sinter Area. The Firm has drill examined Rhyolite Ridge 2.7km south of this location and used the incidence and distribution of outcropping sinters to information such drilling efforts. It’s now clear to the Firm that future exploration drilling ought to happen inside this +1,000m portion of Rhyolite Ridge the place epithermal quartz veins are discovered at floor along with historic mining exercise which offer direct proof for the presence of epithermal veins at depth beneath the ridgeline the place they might have been deposited inside an upflow zone (Determine 13, Determine 14 & Determine 17).
Determine 5. Slabbed examples of epithermal quartz veins from the north east trending, +1,000m lengthy portion of Rhyolite Ridge. (A) Coarse chalcedonic banding with minor quartz lattice bladed bands; (B) quartz lattice bladed textures after carbonate indicating that boiling has taken place; (C) Coarse chalcedonic banding with minor quartz lattice bladed bands; (D) Coarse chalcedonic banding with minor quartz lattice bladed bands circled in purple (centre left) along with an included fragment of rhyolite circled in purple (centre); (E) & (F) Typical low temperature textures reflecting a low fluid-flux atmosphere of formation inside higher ranges of the upflow zone.
Determine 6. Location of the realm of historic mining in relation to the realm of epithermal quartz veins (purple circles). Inexperienced squares are places of chalcedonic veinlets in rhyolite movement dome complexes, inexperienced outlines are bentonite open pits, strong black circles are the closest outcropping sinters overlain on historic Sb soil geochemistry; 2m contours derived from LIDAR.
4. Chalcedonic Veinlets in Rhyolite Stream Dome Complexes
Prospecting by the BULGOLD exploration crew additionally revealed the presence of chalcedonic veins/veinlets inside rhyolite movement dome complexes situated at larger elevations, principally on Rhyolite Ridge, but in addition discovered all through the property. Solely throughout the space of epithermal quartz veins are the 2 sorts of veins discovered collectively. They’re reasonably anomalous for antimony (common of 85g/t Sb) with very low ranges of Au, Ag and As and correlate nicely with the historic Sb soil geochemistry. Their significance is poorly understood at this stage (Determine 16).
Determine 7. Examples of chalcedonic veins inside rhyolite rock situated all through the property. (A) Float pattern in discipline; (B), (C) & (D) Crudely banded chalcedonic veins in rhyolite rock; (E) & (F) Brecciated rhyolite rock with chalcedony matrix infill.
5. Alteration & Mineralisation throughout the North East Block
At floor, the North East Block is dominated by rhyolite ˜shingle’ float because of the abundance of movement banding throughout the rhyolite rocks on this space, nevertheless, under the 600mRL and extra generally across the 500mRL, altered and mineralised rhyolite rocks might be discovered as float in lots of areas. Determine 8 reveals some examples of the float rock which represents a composite ˜stratigraphy’ from throughout the North East Block from low temperature alteration to low temperature gold mineralisation; these rocks are accountable for the in depth arsenic and antinomy anomalism as outlined by historic soil sampling.
Determine 8. (A) Brecciated rhyolite with chalcedony matrix infill typically discovered at larger elevations (0.12% As, 179g/t Sb); (B) Silicified epiclastic volcanic breccia dominated by varied rhyolite clasts (81.3g/t As, 35.6g/t Sb); (C) Silicified rhyolite rock with disseminated pyrite (381g/t As, 73.4g/t Sb); (D) Weakly developed chalcedonic quartz vein in rhyolite rock with pseudo moss textures and a radiating material (37.7g/t As, 961g/t Sb); (E) Coarsely banded chalcedonic quartz vein with quartz lattice bladed textures circled in purple (0.81g/t Au, 5g/t Ag, 74.8g/t As, 26.6g/t Sb); (F) Chalcedonic quartz vein with coarse banding and minor quartz lattice bladed textures (0.58g/t Au, 5.9g/t Ag, 38.5g/t As, 44g/t Sb).
6. Sinters
All sinters throughout the Sinter Area had been mapped at 1:10,000 scale. The important thing discovering from this train was that there is no such thing as a most popular topographic stage for the formation of sinters and so they happen/outcrop in any respect topographic ranges and are generally ˜stacked’ in that they type important sinter terraces, separated by tuff layers, throughout the property. The sinters present a robust correlation with antimony within the historic soil geochemistry (Desk 2).
Determine 9. Stacked sinters throughout the southern pit wall of the Jelsovy potok bentonite open pit separated by tuff layers. The yellow dashed line outlines the bottom of every sinter horizon.
Moreover, 69 samples had been collected from the sinter outcrops ± minor float throughout the western aspect of Rhyolite Ridge. These samples had been then slabbed within the Lutila core shed and an in depth hand specimen evaluation was accomplished based mostly on textural traits utilizing the Atlas (NYSE:) of Siliceous Sizzling Spring Deposits (Sinter) and Different Silicified Floor Manifestations in Epithermal Environments (Hamilton et al, 2019) as a information to find out the doubtless temperatures of sinter formation (Determine 15).
This research revealed that sinters situated on Rhyolite Ridge (on the highest elevations) mirror the best temperatures of formation and subsequently proximity to the new springs or outflow zones, which continues to help the view that the 5km-long Rhyolite Ridge is likely one of the main exploration targets on the Property. Moreover, a evaluation of historic bentonite exploration drilling revealed many sinters which don’t outcrop and happen subsurface (Determine 16).
7. Dialogue
The Lutila Gold Venture is situated favourably between two of the biggest Au-Ag epithermal techniques throughout the Central Slovakia Volcanic Area, the Kremnica gold deposit and the Banska Å tiavnica gold-silver ore discipline, which collectively, have produced important quantities of treasured metals over many centuries. In response to Kodera (2005) the Banska Å tiavnica ore discipline has produced 2.6Moz Au and 129Moz Ag from the early center ages till the 20th century. The truth that low to intermediate sulfidation Au-Ag epithermal veins are intimately related to rhyolite volcanism through the interval 12.4 “ 11.2Ma underpins the Firm’s exploration mannequin.
Determine 10. Regional geological setting of the Lutila Gold Venture in relation to adjoining ore districts throughout the Central Slovakia Volcanic Area (after Kodera et al, 2014).
On the close by Kremnica gold deposit, which is hosted in andesite volcanic rocks, rhyolite dykes are intimately related to and sometimes nicely mineralised the place they’re cross-cut, or run parallel to quartz-adularia veins, thus indicating that extrusive rhyolite volcanism was doubtless a pre-mineral occasion. The historic exploration drilling has indicated that andesite volcanic rocks are current under the uncovered rhyolite movement dome complexes and their related pyroclastic merchandise throughout the space of the North East Block and it’s doubtless that andesite volcanic rocks are current beneath the rhyolite and lacustrine sedimentary rock stratigraphy at present decided throughout the Sinter Area. It needs to be famous that the formation of a big epithermal system throughout the property is considerably impartial of host rock.
Historic soil sampling has outlined a big, +7km lengthy, paleo-geothermal system as outlined by arsenic and antimony geochemistry. Historic and the Firm’s rock chip sampling, which is biased to the North East Block, has proven that floor gold grades enhance in worth towards decrease elevations, which is in keeping with the Firm’s present geological mannequin. Historic exploration drilling, which can be restricted to the North East Block, has proven that there are anomalous gold grades throughout the rhyolite movement dome complexes and their pyroclastic merchandise on both flank of the ÄŒertov vrch goal space which is centred on the ÄŒertov vrch peak (748mRL).
Determine 11. Rhyolite clast surrounded by tetrahedrite inside quartz-adularia vein from the northern portion of the Kremnica gold deposit (KremniÄka Banya “ Wolf Veins), Non-public Assortment, Kremnica.
The Firm believes that the Lutila Gold Venture displays a continuation of the identical volcanic despair (that hosts the Kremnica gold mine), which has been downfaulted, making a preserved graben of rhyolite movement domes complexes and their pyroclastic merchandise along with a really massive sinter discipline.
Area work accomplished by the Firm throughout 2024, along with a radical evaluation of the historic exploration knowledge (primarily throughout the North East Block), taken along with the in depth Sinter Area, which displays the place of the Miocene paleosurface and is a sign of boiling at depth inside an epithermal system which, if current, is preserved from erosion, would are inclined to strongly help the Firm’s conceptual exploration mannequin. The invention of epithermal quartz vein materials throughout the Sinter Area and the related space of historic mining have now proven, for the primary time, that the Lutila Gold Venture stays a extremely potential property for the invention of epithermal quartz-adularia vein techniques.
Determine 12. Conceptual exploration mannequin for the Lutila Gold Venture. The Kremnica gold deposit schematic part is a composite part based mostly on public area info.
