VANCOUVER, BC, May 24, 2023
/PRNewswire/ - Elevation Gold Mining Corporation (TSXV:
ELVT) (OTCQX: EVGDF) (the "Company" or "Elevation Gold") is
pleased to report assay results for four reverse circulation ("RC")
holes that were drilled in the Reynolds Pit area and the ROM Pad
Ramp area (see Table 1).
Highlights
- AR23-663R in the Reynolds Pit area intersected 47.2 meters
grading 0.38 g/T Au, 1.69 g/T Ag, and 60.9 meters grading 0.33 g/T
Au, 1.96 g/T Ag, respectively. See Figure 1 for collar locations
and Figure 2 for the cross-section.
- AR23-663R extends the newly identified mineralization zone in
the Reynolds Pit area that appears to be a north dipping structure.
It was collared 87 meters southeast of and on a line 63 meters east
of AR23-662R, which intersected 225.6 meters of mineralization
grading 0.56 g/T Au and 2.77 g/T Ag (see Figure 3 for cross-section
and see press release dated April 26,
2023), which in-turn was collared 80.5 meters northeast of
AR22-656R which intersected 110.6 meters of mineralization grading
0.50g/T Au, 1.93 g/T Ag (see Figure 4 for repeat of cross-section
first shown in press release dated March 16,
2023).
- Results were received for AR23-661R, also in the Reynolds Pit
area, which intersected 44.2 meters grading 0.35 g/T Au, 1.58 g/T
Ag and 7.62 m grading 0.35 g/T Au,
1.29 g/t Ag and 7.62m grading 0.85
g/T Au and 9.04 g/T Ag. See Figure 3 for cross section.
Tim Swendseid, Chief Executive
Officer of Elevation Gold stated: "The final results from our
reverse circulation program that ended earlier this year have now
been received, and the mineralized zone intercepted by AR23-662R
(reported April 26, 2023) has been
confirmed to continue both to the east and west, by hole AR23-663R
to the east, and hole AR23-656R to the west, with grades well above
our operating cutoff grade of 0.31g/T Au. This zone is
located approximately ½ km from our active West Pit, in an area
fully permitted for mining, and the potential for continuation even
further to the east and west will be tested by additional
drilling. We anticipate the identification of these
additional mineralized areas will extend the operational time
period of the Moss mine.
Reynolds Pit Area
Assay results for two RC holes drilled on two lines in the
Reynolds pit area are reported in this press release (Figure
1 shows collar locations). AR23-661R was drilled to the
north-northeast into the Moss vein and associated structures, and
AR23-663R was drilled to the south-southeast across the
north-dipping structures. Both holes intersected gold and
silver mineralization. AR23-663 expands the zone of known
mineralization in the southern Reynolds pit area to the east by
about 62.5 meters.

Note:

True thickness of the
grade intersections reported in this press release should be 80-95%
of apparent thickness. Although true thickness of the
stockwork system between the Moss and Ruth Veins is generally
difficult to assess due to the variably oriented multiple veins and
veinlets that make up this zone, stockwork mineralization
intersections reported for angled drillholes in the table above are
considered reflective of the broader bulk tonnage mineralization
target zone thickness. Assay data are uncapped. AuEq = Au +
Ag/75. RC drilling was conducted by Boart Longyear. RC samples,
collected every 1.52 m, were transported in sealed bags to Skyline
Assayers and Laboratories (Skyline) in Tucson, AZ. Field control
QAQC samples, including standards, blanks, and field duplicates,
were inserted into the sample stream at a rate of three field
control samples every 20 regular samples. Gold was determined by
fire-assay fusion of 30 g sub-samples with atomic absorption
spectroscopy (method FA-01). Overlimit samples of gold were assayed
by gravimetric means (FA-02). Skyline Laboratories is accredited in
accordance with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 9001:2015.

ROM Pad Ramp
Two holes were drilled between the Center pit and the crusher on
the haul truck road that connects the West pit with the East
pit. These holes were drilled to test for hanging wall
mineralization between the crusher and the Center pit. Both
holes collared on the same drill pad, and both holes intersected
gold and silver mineralization, highlighted by 65.53 meters with
average grade of 0.33 g/T au and 3.43 g/T Ag, including 33.53
meters with average grade 0.44 g/T Au, 4.68 g/T Ag (AR23-664R).
