VANCOUVER, BC  – T heNewswire – November 14, 2023 Element 79 Gold Corp. (CSE:ELEM) (OTC:ELMGF) (FSE:7YS) (‘ Element 79 Gold ‘, the ‘ Company ‘) is pleased to provide a comprehensive update on the recent advancements in geologic field work and community relations initiatives in the Apacheta and Sando Alcalde areas of its flagship Lucero property.

Geological Field Work Progress:

Recent field work was focused on surface mapping (1/2,500 scale) as well as surface and underground sampling at the Apacheta and Sando Alcalde areas. Despite adverse weather conditions affecting surface work, underground work at Sando Alcalde commenced on Saturday, September 21st, following authorization from The Community of Chachas, RRCC. The achievements include:

Mine Workings Mapping: 1,400 linear metres covered, representing 40% more than the initial target schedule.

Surface Geological Mapping (1:2,500 scale): A total of 360 hectares were mapped, contributing to a cumulative total of more than 400 hectares .

Field Stations: 98 established, with a cumulative total of 279.

Samples Collected: A total of 111 samples have been collected and sent to Certimin Laboratory (33 surface, 64 underground, and 14 QA/QC).

Recent reports highlight substantial progress in field work and surface sampling, of the Apacheta area mapping now 75% complete.

Geological Observations:

Mineralization occurs within vein-faults at both the bottom and top. On the surface, it manifests as a siliceous ledge with Fe-Mn oxides and an argillic halo. Three distinct surface events have been identified: massive gray silica, whitish silica, and drusy quartz filling cavities with OxFe.

There are two main structure types:

Base Metal Structure: Comprising galena-sphalerite-pyrite (1st event), rhodochrosite-rhodonite-silica (brecciating sulfides, 2nd event), galena-pyrite-chalcopyrite band to the vein footwall (3rd event), and drusy quartz with OxFe filling cavities (4th event).

Silica-Sulfide Structure: Characterized by a central suture of tens of centimetres of gray silica-pyrite-chalcopyrite-galena filled with drusy quartz and clay-OxFe halos.

Near these structures alteration of gray to whitish silica with clays (possibly dickite?) is prevalent, showing moderate to strong argillic alteration. Halos generally do not exceed 2 metres in width. As one moves away from the structures, the predominant alteration shifts to a weak to moderate chlorite-epidote-calcite (propylitic halo).

The structural orientation follows three main controls: AZ 330° for main veins, EW for faults and secondary veins, and AZ 60° for some faults and the emplacement of the dacitic intrusive.

The ground team has recommended defining ore shoot projection and barren zones through orientation sampling by sectors.

Community Relations and Social Affairs:

Recent social affairs initiatives include:

Support in the Geology Area: Permanent monitoring during the day to avoid disruption of data collection activities.

Engagement with Artisanal Miners: Visits to working areas to build positive relations and awareness with artisanal miners in the upper parts of Lomas Doradas.

Dialogue with Community Leaders: Personal dialogue with leaders and the president of Lomas Doras and coordinate the entry of geologists for mapping activities.

Coordination for Entry to Galleries: Coordination with the president of the Chachas community and the president of Lomas Doradas for entry to active mining galleries, ensuring safety through collaboration with project managers and security.

Community Initiatives: Ongoing efforts including the coordination of the formal delivery of the pipe donation to be used by the Chachas community water conveyance project.

Element 79 Gold remains committed to transparency, community engagement, and the responsible development of its Lucero Property. The Company looks forward to continued progress and collaboration with the local community.
