Falcon Commences Drilling At Its Great Burnt Copper Project, NL

Falcon Gold Corp.(TSXV:FG)(3FA:GR)(OTCQB:FGLDF); (‘Falcon’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to report drilling has commenced at our Great Burnt Copper Project (the ‘Property’) located in Central Newfoundland. The Company has completed 8kms of additional road to the drill site from the government access road which we share Benton Resources

Karim Rayani, Chief Executive Officer and director stated: ‘We are excited to have our inaugural drill campaign underway at our Great Burnt Project. The magnetic signature suggests that Falcon controls the northern extension of the same magnetic feature that Benton Resources has had recent success in drilling and sampling. We will be initially testing ten geophysical anomalies and will plan to extend the program once we receive the necessary government approvals.’

The Great Burnt Copper Property

Falcon holds 2,275 hectares in the Great Burnt camp, with licenses located north of, and contiguous to, Benton Resources Inc. – Homeland Nickel (previously known as Spruce Ridge Resources Ltd.) Great Burnt Copper-Gold joint venture (see Figure 1). Benton Resources Inc. (‘Benton’) optioned the Great Burnt Copper-Gold Project from Spruce Ridge Resources Ltd. (now known as Homeland Nickel) in an agreement that allowed Benton to earn a 70% interest in the property (see press release dated July 17, 2024). The Benton property is host to the Great Burnt Copper Zone, a deposit with an indicated resource of 381,300 tonnes at 2.68% Cu and inferred resources of 663,100 tonnes at 2.10% Cu (Benton option – Homeland Nickel). Recent drilling by Benton at the Great Burnt Copper Deposit reported drill results that returned 7.20% Cu, 7.12 g/t Ag, and 0.05% Co over 12.30 metres (see press release dated December 5, 2023). Previous drilling in 2020 by Spruce Ridge reported 8.06% Cu over 27.2 m (see press release dated March 18, 2021).

The Great Burnt Greenstone Belt is prospective for copper and gold and further hosts the South Pond A and South Pond B copper-gold zones and the End Zone copper prospect along a 14 km mineralized corridor. The mineralized corridor occurs along a conductive trend, and this conductive trend continues into Falcon’s Great Burnt Copper Property (see right-hand-side image in Figure 1).
