Vancouver, B.C. – TheNewswire - August 12, 2024 - Precipitate Gold Corp. (the “Company” or “Precipitate”) (TSXV: PRG, OTCQB: PREIF) is pleased to announce that Barrick Gold Corporation ("Barrick") has completed a review of induced polarization (“IP”) geophysical and surface geological and geochemical data for the Pueblo Grande Sur Zone, on Precipitate's 100% owned Pueblo Grande Project (“Pueblo Grande” or the “Project”), located immediately adjacent to the Pueblo Viejo gold mine in the Dominican Republic. Barrick’s work is part of an earn-in agreement whereby Barrick has the right to earn a 70% interest in Precipitate’s Pueblo Grande Project.

 

At the Pueblo Grande Sur Zone (located immediately east of the Pueblo Viejo gold mine) Barrick has delineated a concealed and untested IP chargeability target at depth, via the combined interpretation of the geophysical response and associated favorable alteration and permeable host rocks. The anomaly is open to the south. Barrick intends to further delineate the anomaly with an additional IP line to the south to evaluate the possible extension of the chargeability anomaly. A drilling permit application has been submitted for an initial diamond drill program expected to commence in late 2024 (subject to receipt of permits). See accompanying map figure for details.

 

Jeffrey Wilson, Precipitate's President and CEO stated, "We continue to be pleased with Barrick’s work in systematically testing multiple prospective, but underexplored regions of Precipitate’s expansive Pueblo Grande project. The delineation of these new anomalies at Pueblo Grande Sur evidences the importance of ongoing early staged exploration within the project as a means of generating additional drill-worthy conceptual targets. This new data and subsequent interpretations have provided Barrick’s exploration team with prospective untested anomalies that will be the focus of a next phase of drill testing, upon receipt of required drill permits. These new targets add nicely to the existing, and still untested drill targets previously outlined in the Pueblo Grande Norte zone.”
