Alacer Gold Announces Further Positive Drill Results for the Ardich Gold Project, Including 29.0 Meters at 4.81 Grams Per Tonne
TORONTO, Aug. 26, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alacer Gold Corp. (“Alacer” or the “Company”) [TSX: ASR and ASX: AQG] is pleased to announce additional positive results from the diamond drilling program for the Ardich Gold Project (the “Ardich Project” or “Ardich”). In April 2019, Alacer announced a maiden Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 639koz and 96koz from the first 100 diamond core drill holes at Ardich1. An additional 34 holes are reported in this release, extending the mineralized strike length to over 1,200m. The new holes are located to the west, east and southeast of the previously reported Ardich resource area. The majority of the new drill holes intersected predominantly oxide gold mineralization, many with impressive grades, including holes:
- AR117: 33.1m @ 4.21 g/t Au from 131.4m, including 10.6m @ 10.03 g/t Au from 133.1m
- AR133: 50.6m @ 2.73 g/t Au from 122.9m, including 10.3m @ 8.04 g/t Au from 148.7m
- AR134: 29.0m @ 4.81 g/t Au from 113.7m, including 7.0m @ 11.74 g/t Au from 119.7m
Rod Antal, Alacer’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “This is another exciting set of drill results for Ardich and more than doubles the mineralized strike length. We are continuing the step-out drilling program and expect that the mineralization will continue and become shallower to the southeast. Concurrently, our development team is working on the study and permitting requirements to allow us to accelerate access to a starter pit. The objective is to fast track Ardich, leveraging off the existing infrastructure, and provide options to sustain the oxide ore production from the Çöpler District. Ardich has the potential to become a significant component of the Alacer growth story and is our highest priority development project.”
Alacer is in the process of preparing an interim resource update which is expected to be released in late 2019. The objective of the ongoing exploration program is to first define, by step-out drilling, the extent of the mineralization. Once the mineralized system dimensions and geology are better understood, a more comprehensive infill drilling program will be started with the aim of defining an expanded resource and a reserve estimate.
Heap Leach Pad Capacity
A recent scoping study to determine the optimal pathway for the expansion of the heap leach oxide processing capacity in the Çöpler District identified various options (at both Ardich and Çöpler) for standalone facilities and heap leach pads of varying size (some >50Mt), along with low-cost incremental expansion options at Çöpler (~20Mt of additional heap leach capacity). These options provide pathways to both accelerate low-cost, near-term development of Ardich or other Çöpler District prospects, as well as options for a new separate mine development should the Ardich deposit grow to the full extent of the mineralized target.
It has been determined that the Çöpler heap leach pad expansion can be executed in two phases. Engineering for phase one will be completed in Q3 2019 for the first ~6 million tonnes of capacity. The existing Environmental Impact Assessment allows for phase one to be constructed and site works are targeted to be completed in 2020. This development plan ensures that there is no short to medium-term restriction to oxide plant production. Detailed engineering and permitting for the second phase are progressing in parallel.

Overview of Mineralization Style
The Ardich Project is characterized by development of gold mineralized listwanite and dolomite rock units in the target area within a northwest-southeast structural zone (Figure 2). The gold mineralization is closely associated with low angle thrust fault zones between listwanites, dolomites and ophiolites that are intruded by series of microdioritic dykes. The mineralization is related to silica rich listwanite and dolomite rock units as well as with smaller zones of jasperoid developments. The mineralization is predominantly in the form of oxide with sulfide mineralization confined to limited pyrite rich jasperoid sections. Based on the latest drill data, the main mineralization zone appears to be tabular and almost flat lying ore body with small displacements due to the normal faulting.

Drilling
Alacer drilled 134 diamond core holes totaling 21,364.2m between August 2017 and July 2019. The vast majority of drill holes were drilled within Alacer’s 80% owned and managed licenses and greater than 99% of the April 2019 Mineral Resource2 was within the Alacer 80% areas. Alacer owns 50% of Kartaltepe (Alacer 50% and Lidya 50%) in which the remaining holes were located. Alacer announced a maiden Mineral Resource on December 10, 2018 based on 55 core holes with an Indicated Mineral Resource of 294koz gold at an average grade of 1.32 Au g/t (6.9MT). The Company announced a 117% increase to the Ardich Indicated Mineral Resource on April 3, 2019 based on 100 diamond core holes. The updated Mineral Resource estimate consists of predominantly oxide ore, with some sulfide ore totaling:
- Indicated Mineral Resource of 639,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of 1.50 Au g/t (13.2MT)
- Inferred Mineral Resource estimate of 96,000 ounces at an average grade of 1.16 Au g/t (2.6MT)
Highlights of previously announced holes include2:
On February 26, 2018:
- Hole AR09 with 67.7m averaging 4.08 g/t gold from 53.3m depth (including 14.2m at 7.21 g/t)
On July 25, 2019:
- Hole AR31 with 68.6m averaging 2.21 g/t gold from 36.0m depth (including 17.0m at 5.5 g/t)
- Hole AR41 with 50.2m averaging 3.01 g/t gold from 43.4m depth (including 7.9m at 8.81 g/t)
On November 7, 2018:
- Hole AR52 with 57.7m averaging 3.84 g/t Au from 121.3m depth (including 11.9m at 6.4 g/t)
- Hole AR54 with 61.4m averaging 2.22 g/t gold from 5m depth (including 6.4m at 7.75 g/t)
On April 3, 2019:
- Hole AR69 with 113.0m averaging 1.75 g/t gold from 24m depth (including 10m at 4.95 g/t)
- Hole AR80 with 50.6m averaging 2.99 g/t gold from 33.5m depth (including 11.9m at 8.07 g/t)
Alacer currently has 4 diamond drill rigs at Ardich with 34 holes (one abandoned hole) totaling 5,598.6m completed between April and July 2019 (AR101-AR134). These additional holes improved the west, east and southeastern extension of the gold mineralization defined by the earlier 100 diamond holes. Fourteen drill holes are located to the southeast of the known resource area and have intersected significant gold mineralization underneath barren ophiolites expanding the known mineralization about 750m to the southeast. This demonstrates possible continuation of gold mineralization to the southeast of the Ardich Project covered by ophiolites that do not have any surface geochemical signature. The main Ardich mineralization gently dips towards southeast and gets deeper due to normal faulting. Three holes were drilled further towards the southeast and indicate that the mineralization gets shallower again and continues towards the southeast (Figure 2). Alacer is currently drilling hole AR158 located 450m southeast of AR132 to test the continuation of gold mineralization in this direction (Figure 3).
All drilling outlined below was diamond core drilling using either HQ (63.5mm in diameter) or PQ (85mm in diameter) core sizes.

Technical Procedural Information
Sampling, Assaying and QA/QC
The Ardich drilling program started in 2017. Diamond drill core is sampled as half core at 1m intervals. The samples were submitted to ALS Global laboratories in Izmir, Turkey for sample preparation and analysis which is of an ISO/IEC 7025:2005 certified and accredited laboratory. Bureau Veritas (Acme) laboratory, Ankara is being used as for umpire check sample analysis. Gold was analyzed by fire assay with an AAS finish, and the multi-element analyses were determined by four acid digestion and ICP-AES and MS finish. For gold assays greater than or equal to 10g/t, fire assay process is repeated with a gravimetric finish for coarse gold. Alacer's drill and geochemical samples were collected in accordance with accepted industry standards. Alacer conducts routine QA/QC analysis on all assay results, including the systematic utilization of certified reference materials, blanks, field duplicates, and umpire laboratory check assays. External review of data and processes relating to the Ardich Project have been completed by independent Consultant Dr. Erdem Yetkin, P.Geo. in August 2019. There were no adverse material results detected and the QA/QC indicates the information collected is acceptable, and the database can be used for further studies.
