Toronto and Geraldton, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - January 21, 2025) - Tombill Mines Limited (TSXV: TBLL) (the "Company", "Tombill") is pleased to announce an update on recent exploration of mineralized stockpiles on its Tombill Old Mine and Talmora Mine assets.
Tombill Old Mine Stockpiles
The Tombill Old Mine, which is on and accessible from the Trans-Canada Highway, was mined from 1938-42 and 1955, producing 68,737 oz Au at 12.36 grams/tonnes. From those extractions various legacy stockpiles remain representing a mineralized area of 16,153 meters2 with elevations (derived from the collars access points) ranging from 358.07 m to 366.65 m.
From 23 July until 18 November 2024 (including 3 samples collected 6 December 2019) the company produced 55 collars gathering 69 samples for assays with depths ranging from 40 cm to 220 cm, averaging 96 cm. The grade of these 69 samples varied from <0.001 to 20.7 g/t Au, averaging 3.15 g/t Au. Eleven bulk density samples were collected (of which 2 were deemed defective) ranging from 1.31 g/cm3 to 1.74 g/cm3, yielding an average density of 1.49 g/cm3.
To collect these 69 samples over 55 collars, the company utilized a combination of a hand augur, excavator, and shovel over a mapped-out grid of 26 quadrants, each measuring 25 m X 25 m. On average, the samples to quadrants ratio was about 2.7 times; however, a disproportionate number of samples were collected in the higher gold grading areas. All samples were collected exclusively from the mine tailings material and no bedrock or overburden were included.
During the upcoming 2025 field season, Tombill plans to conduct further work in determining volumes and a potential gold resource.
Below, summarizes results from the 69 samples collected to date:
