Ophir Gold Corp. announced it has signed a contract with Cabo Drilling Corp. to carry out a minimum of 10,500 feet (~3,200 m) of diamond drilling at the Company's Breccia Gold Property located in Lemhi County, Idaho, USA. The Property was subject to some exploration in the mid- 1980's that included metallurgical testing and drilling, as well as surface and underground sampling. In 1987 a bulk sample of 4,621 tons of gold bearing material was collected from a bulldozer cut along a 200 ft (~61 m) section of the Breccia Gold Zone, north of the south adit. The material was reported to have had an average grade of 0.335 oz/t Au (~11.5 g/t Au). The Company cautions that the foregoing historical sampling results presented above were completed in the 1980's, prior to the implementation of National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") requirements. The Company's surface sampling completed in 2019 and 2020, supports the high-grades reported historically, however a Qualified Person (as such term is defined in NI 43-101) has not completed sufficient work to classify these historic mineral results as current mineral results. Two drill holes completed in 1985 tested the zone at depth, north of the south adit. Although assay data for these holes is not available, inclined hole DH-1 is described to have intersected a 100 ft (~30.5 m) section of the Breccia Gold Zone, while vertical DH-2 continued within the Breccia Gold Zone for its entire 100 ft (~30.5 m) length.
