Hole #1 Completed Into KM-Size Anomaly Defined From 2022 Airborne Survey Greenwood BC
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 3, 2022 / CanXGold Mining Corp., (TSXv:CXG)(FRANKFURT:3G8C)(OTC Pink:GDMRD), ("CanXGold" or the "Company"), announces that the first drill hole has been completed at its Phoenix Property, part of the Greenwood Precious Metals project in southeastern BC.
The first drill hole targeted a large, 1 km diameter conductivity anomaly identified in the 2022 VTEM survey, located north of the historic Phoenix open pit mine. The hole was drilled to 337 meters depth. It penetrated the base of the Mesozoic Bonanza Group volcanic rocks and limestone at 141 meters and passed into the Paleozoic Knob Hill Complex. Trachyte dikes and/or sills ranging from 1.5 to 4.0 meters in core length were encountered between 65 and 140 meters within the Bonanza Group.
The contact between the Mesozoic and Paleozoic units in hole 1 is marked by a deformation zone from 136.5 to 165 meters. The zone is characterized by brecciated carbonaceous limestone grading to foliated brecciated limestone and then to foliated and brecciated black to grey chert and argillite with local limestone lenses. Foliated rocks are carbonaceous and locally graphitic. The deformation zone marks the Snowshoe Fault. It is intruded by undeformed trachyte that is Tertiary in age.

The hole encountered disseminated pyrite in propylitic altered (chlorite-epidote-calcite) Bonanza volcanic rocks, and pyrite veinlets and seams in the underlying Knob Hill units at the depth of the anomaly.

The next hole to be drilled will target a second anomaly (conductivity and magnetic) detected by the 2022 airborne geophysical survey. The anomalous area is located about 2 kilometers east and a bit north from the historic Phoenix open pit mine.
