Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 30, 2021) - Go Metals Corp. (CSE: GOCO) ("Go Metals" and/or the "Company") is pleased to announce results from the HSP project, a polymetallic property with nickel, copper, and PGE mineralization in eastern Quebec.

Highlights

  • 4 New nickel-copper showings discovered
  • Grab samples with up to 1.78% Ni and 3.97% Cu
  • Program showcases accuracy of the GeoDL artificial intelligence engine
  • Average Nickel equivalent of 0.54% over 25 samples1
  • Anomalous to enriched cobalt, gold, silver, platinum, palladium
  • 50 new HSP claims staked to increase total land package to 8,250 Hectares

"The discovery of several new zones of nickel and copper at surface is encouraging and we look forward to proving up these zones to their potential. HSP is an exciting property in an underexplored part of the Grenville Province. This battery metals project is the definition of low carbon footprint potential within a few kilometers of the Romain IV hydro-electric project," says Scott Sheldon, CEO of Go Metals.

The four project zones are based on EM and magnetic data, geological contact, sampling, and mineralization. Prospective areas are based on individual styles of mineralization.

About the HSP Nickel Copper PGE Project

The HSP Project was acquired in February 2019. The 100% owned property covers 82.5 km2 and is located approximately 135 km north of Havre-Saint-Pierre. HSP contains several mineral occurrences with elevated nickel, copper, cobalt, gold and PGE. A Quebec hydro road comes within 10 km of the Property. The 2021 spring program was Go Metals first ground program at HSP. The work was a follow up to the recent project wide airborne geophysical survey, interpretations, and artificial intelligence enhancements.

Geological context

The HSP property is in the Quebec Havre St. Pierre Anorthosite Complex. All showings but the Gem showings are in structurally controlled semi- to massive sulphides in mafic- to ultramafic units that occur on the edge of the anorthosite complex.

  • The PGE Zone is characterized by massive to semi massive sulphides adjacent to ultramafic pyroxenite dykes and typically has higher PGE concentrations.
  • The Chamber Zone is characterized by large pods of massive pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite within EM anomalies up to 400m wide at surface. These are interpreted as potential pockets or irregularities in the magma chamber where immiscible sulphide rich melt accumulated within the anorthosite complex.
  • The Red Mountain showing exhibits traits of both the PGE and the chamber zones. It is characterized by a large body of massive sulphides but also seems to be related to adjacent pyroxenite dykes.
  • The Gem showing overlies a magnetic high interpreted as a possible magmatic conduit within the anorthosite complex.

Artificial Intelligence Update

Go Metals has signed a contract with Yuichiro Sugiura to optimize the company's GeoDL deep learning powered mapping application. Mr. Sugiura is an experienced software engineer with a focus on Data Engineering and Machine Learning. At the IDEMIA Digital Lab, he worked on mission-critical back-end services for smart-watches and connected cars. At App Annie, mobile market data and analytics company, he designed and developed a large-scale data pipeline to service the company's product line. Mr. Sugiura's experience will help Go Metals incorporate bigger data sets and increase the range, resolution, and automation of future programs.

GeoDL is a proprietary deep learning program currently in closed beta. The program learns from using multiple layers of merged data layers to see combinations and patterns not readily available to the human eye. The program uses a base layer derived from structural, geophysical, geochemical, geographical and satellite data. GeoDL generates five types of enhanced maps including: lineament, bedrock, alteration, outcrop and a prospectivity heatmap.

Sampling and QAQC

Sampling was carried out by IOS Geoscientific Services and Caveman Exploration. EM geophysical targets were travelled to and explored with a beep-mat model 4. Conductive zones were identified by the equipment and were subsequently excavated and/or trenched by hand. Sampling was then carried out by chipping the bedrock with a hammer and cold-chisel. The samples were sealed in the field with zip-ties and a chain of custody was maintained by IOS. Duplicates and blanks were provided by the lab.
