Lavras Gold (TSXV:LGC) has announced positive results from six new drill holes testing the Fazenda do Posto gold discovery, located on its LDS project in southern Brazil. These latest findings contribute to Lavras Gold’s ongoing exploration program aimed at defining an economically viable gold resource on the project.

Lavras Gold President & CEO Michael Durose commented in a press release: “These new drilling results are consistent with previous drill results and demonstrate the excellent near-surface gold grade and continuity of Fazenda do Posto. The large lateral and vertical extent of the hydrothermal alteration points to a sizable gold mineral system for which the full potential remains to be tested. Results like these have the potential to materially enhance the economics of a combined Butiá-Fazenda do Posto near-surface bulk tonnage open-pit type of gold project. Fazenda do Posto is not only demonstrating very good continuity and gold grade at depth, but also laterally, where it remains open in several directions. Two drills are actively working in the area, drilling off the Fazenda do Posto area in a grid with vertical holes on 50 metre centres.”

Drilling Confirms Extensive Gold Mineralization at Fazenda do Posto

The six new drill holes, numbered 23FP007 through 23FP012, were designed to investigate the characteristics and scope of gold mineralization and hydrothermal alteration associated with the Fazenda do Posto discovery. This recent drilling program adds to the six holes previously disclosed, bringing the total to 12 holes drilled for a cumulative length of 3,309 meters.

All assay results are presented in Table 1 of the company’s press release, while drill-collar coordinates are summarized in Table 2. Figures 1 and 2 included in the press release illustrate the drill hole locations and a cross-section, respectively.

Initial findings indicate a substantial gold mineral system featuring near-surface, bulk-tonnage disseminated gold mineralization. This gold is hosted within hydrothermally altered granitic rock and lies strategically positioned 150 meters west of the adjacent Butiá gold deposit, which boasts a measured, indicated, and inferred gold resource of approximately 0.5 million ounces and is also open for potential expansion.

Drilling Highlights Favorable Characteristics for Future Development

The latest drilling campaign yielded encouraging results, encountering extended intervals of gold mineralization with zones of higher grades. The host rocks exhibit extensive hydrothermal alteration, and the gold itself is typically found within disseminated sulfide minerals like pyrite and arsenian pyrite, hosted within episyenite or mineralized perthitic granite. Notably, instances of visible gold have been observed in association with these sulfide minerals.

The current exploration program suggests the mineralization is bulk-tonnage in nature, extending to depths exceeding 400 meters with a lateral extent of at least 200 meters in two directions: northeast-southwest and northwest-southeast.

Exploration Program Moving Forward with Defined Objectives

The primary objective of this drilling phase was to delineate the geometry and distribution of alteration and gold mineralization at Fazenda do Posto. Although the program is still in its early stages, the initial findings are highly promising, showcasing the discovery of a large, disseminated, bulk-tonnage, intrusive-hosted gold system.

The lateral extent and intensity of the hydrothermal alteration zone have now been traced over significant distances, exceeding 200 meters in two directions and reaching depths surpassing 400 meters. Additionally, gold mineralization has been identified across extensive, continuous intervals spanning hundreds of meters.

At Fazenda do Posto, a core zone of higher-grade gold mineralization appears to be developing at depth, surrounded by a halo of lower-grade gold. The mineralization is typically associated with disseminated sulfides (pyrite and arsenian pyrite) commonly hosted within the vuggy spaces of pervasively altered granitoids. The mineral system remains open in several directions, warranting further exploration through extensive drilling.

Significance of Fazenda do Posto in Relation to Butiá Gold Deposit

A crucial aspect of the exploration program is understanding the potential connection between the Fazenda do Posto discovery and the neighboring Butiá gold deposit. The newly defined gold mineralization at Fazenda do Posto lies 150 meters west of the Butiá deposit, which currently holds a NI 43-101 compliant measured, indicated, and inferred gold resource of 0.5 million ounces. Both deposits hold the potential for future expansion, and it is conceivable that they could be developed as a unified mining project in the future. Figures 4 and 5 in the press release depict the relative positions of the Butiá gold resource and the Fazenda do Posto discovery.

Next Steps and Future Exploration Plans

The next phase of the drilling program will involve systematically drilling Fazenda do Posto on a 50-meter grid using vertical holes. This approach aims to gain a clearer understanding of the size, geometry, and grade distribution of the discovery. This drilling strategy will also be selectively applied to the Butiá gold deposit as the program progresses, with further refinements potentially incorporated based on ongoing results.

Lavras Gold’s primary short-term objective is to define an economically viable gold resource on the LDS project, with a particular focus on Fazenda do Posto and the adjacent Butiá gold deposit.

The ongoing drilling program utilizes two diamond drill rigs currently operating on-site and is anticipated to continue uninterruptedly until the first half of 2025. Lavras Gold has budgeted for approximately 10,000 meters of drilling to explore Fazenda do Posto. Additional drilling on these targets may be conducted based on promising results. The second half of 2024 is slated for exploration drilling of other targets on the LDS property, with the ultimate goal of uncovering new commercially viable gold deposits.

Lavras Gold (TSXV:LGC) recently announced significant follow-up drilling results at their Fazenda do Posto discovery within the LDS Project in southern Brazil. This discovery, initially reported in August 2023, has now been further validated in terms of gold grades, widths, and continuity, with potential for resource expansion in several directions.

Lavras Gold President & CEO Michael Durose commented in a press release: “We are very pleased to validate the Fazenda do Posto gold discovery with this scissor hole, which cross cuts the earlier hole that returned 340 m at 1.1 g/t gold. While it is still early in the drilling program, we are delighted to have intercepted another very long and continuous zone of gold mineralization starting at a shallow depth and running for over 200 metres. This is a unique bulk tonnage near-surface gold system characterized by remarkably continuous gold mineralization within an episyenite host rock. A higher-grade core of gold mineralization is beginning to develop based on the limited drilling we have completed so far. Drilling is ongoing and we look forward to additional drill results as we begin to unravel this new gold discovery.”

The Fazenda do Posto discovery, situated about 150 meters west of the Lavras Gold Butiá Gold Deposit, shows promising proximity to the Butiá deposit, which itself holds an NI 43-101 gold resource of approximately 500,000 ounces and is open for expansion.

Drill hole 23FP006, a focal point of this announcement, was aimed at exploring the northeastern extension of Fazenda do Posto. It was positioned roughly 210 meters northeast of the initial discovery hole, 23FP002, and yielded continuous gold mineralization starting at a depth of 31 meters for a span of 230 meters. Detailed assay results have been tabulated and disclosed for this hole.

This discovery signifies a potential critical mass of gold mineralization in the area, further advancing Lavras Gold’s goal of developing a bulk tonnage open pit gold mine. Despite challenges such as record rainfalls impacting drilling site access and causing delays, the company has expedited efforts to define the new discovery’s geometry and grade distribution. To date, two drill rigs have completed over 3,000 meters of drilling across 14 holes at Fazenda do Posto.


The drilling results from Fazenda do Posto, located along the western edge of the Lavras do Sul intrusive complex and near the town of Lavras do Sul, are highly encouraging. Four drill holes totaling 1,520 meters have been completed, each yielding varied results. These include 23FP001 encountering modest gold values, 23FP002 confirming gold mineralization to a vertical depth of approximately 390 meters, and 23FP003 and 23FP004 showing significant mineralization and hydrothermal alteration respectively.

Looking ahead, Lavras Gold aims to further explore and define the Fazenda do Posto discovery and the Butiá Gold Deposit. The medium-term goal is to prepare a preliminary economic study for a potential gold mining project, supported by ongoing regional exploration within the broader 22,000-hectare LDS Project.

The overall success of the LDS exploration program has been noteworthy since Lavras Gold went public in April 2022. This includes completing a regional drone magnetic survey, ongoing soil geochemistry programs, and the reinterpretation of the Caneleira Gold Discovery. New gold mineral systems have been identified at various locations within the property, indicating a significant upside for continued exploration and development.

Highlights from the results are as follows:

  • Hole 23FP006 includes 65 metres at 1.9 g/t gold and including 10 metres at 3.0 g/t gold
  • Hole 23FP006, a scissor hole that cuts across discovery hole 23FP002, confirms the lateral continuity of gold mineralization for about 180 metres in a northeast direction and starting at a drill hole depth of 31 metres.
  • The vertical extent of gold mineralization at the Fazenda do Posto discovery has been traced for 330 metres.
  • Vertical Hole 23FP003 drilled 58 metres grading 1.0 g/t gold starting at a drillhole depth of 80 metres within a larger gold mineralized interval of 214 metres.
  • Three drill holes – FP002, FP003 and FP006 have returned significant gold assay results displaying continuous gold mineralization over very long intervals. The gold mineralization typically occurs within a brick-red coloured episyenite. The gold is usually associated with fine grained disseminated pyrite and/or arsenian pyrite and usually occurs with iron-rich dark green to black chlorite. Grey-white carbonate vesicles are typically associated with the gold mineralized zone. Photos showing examples of mineralized episyenite are shown in Figure 4, Figure 5 and Figure 6.
  • Gold mineralization has been traced over a northeast-southwest extent of about 180 metres, and a vertical distance of 330 metres. Gold mineralization starts at a vertical depth of about 26 metres in the northeast area, as defined by drill hole 23FP006, and approximately 100 metres depth as defined by drill hole 23FP002.
  • A higher-grade core of mineralization appears to be developing in the centre of the deposit, flanked by lower to moderate gold grades along the margins.

Notes

  • Assumes 0.25 g/t gold cut-off grade, no top cut.
  • The Company has been targeting larger intersections of greater than 0.25 g/t gold. Intersections that are lower than this threshold may provide exploration insight and may therefore be disclosed.
  • Intervals represent drill core interval; true widths have not been determined at this time.
