G2 Goldfields Inc. (“
G2” or the
“
Company”) (TSX: GTWO; OTCQX: GUYGF) announces the
filing of an independent technical report dated December 13, 2024,
on the Company’s newly acquired 32,906-acre New Aremu Project,
Guyana. The Report, ‘NI 43-101 Property of Merit Technical Report
for the New Aremu Oko Gold Project, Guyana, South America’, is
available on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca). Additionally, G2 is pleased
to provide an update on the Company’s ongoing greenfields
exploration program across the entire exploration portfolio.
G2 intends to spin-out its interest in certain greenfields,
non-core assets, into a wholly owned subsidiary of G2, G3
Goldfields Inc. (G3), through a plan of arrangement under
the Canada Business Corporations Act [see press release dated
January 06, 2025].
Following the completion of the proposed Spin-out, the
exploration assets to be held by G3 include:
- the New
Aremu Project (including the historic Wariri Mine), Cuyuni
District, Guyana (32,340 acres);
- the Aremu
Mine Property, Cuyuni District, Guyana (8,811 acres);
- the
Amsterdam Option, Cuyuni District, Guyana (7,148 acres);
- the Tiger
Creek Option, Puruni District, Guyana (3,685 acres); and
- The
Peters Mine Property, Puruni District, Guyana (8,316 acres).
It is anticipated that additional gold assets will be acquired
for the G3 portfolio.
Technical Report
The independent Technical Report describes geology of the New
Aremu project as follows:
“… The bedrock in the
region is underlain by metavolcanics and metasediments of the late
Proterozoic Cuyuni Formation, including sandstones, conglomerates
and volcanics, intruded by several granitoid plutons. The Lower
Aremu and East Aremu properties are bounded by the Aremu batholith
to the west and the Bartica intrusive complex to the east. The
Upper Aremu properties are bounded by the Aremu Batholith to the
east.”
The Report notes gold mineralization in in-situ quartz veins and
boulder trains in two areas.
“Large boulders of
quartz interpreted as floats from nearby quartz reefs have been
confirmed on both the Upper Aremu and Lower Aremu groups of
properties. At the Upper Aremu properties quartz boulders up to 5
metres in diameter were observed as sub-crops along a 100-metre
trend. The quartz boulders had a distinct laminated texture and
were trending in a general north – south direction parallel to a
nearby in-situ vein within a felsic intrusive saprolite that is
likely the Aremu batholith.”
“Additionally, from a
third area at the Aremu East group of properties a quartz vein
varying between 5 cm to 40 cm hosted by the Aremu batholith was
investigated (Figure 7.12). Two grab samples taken on this
structure assayed 9.9 g/t Au and 18.5 g/t Au.”

G2 is currently executing a full-sequence exploration campaign
on its greenfields portfolio in the OKO-Aremu district. To date,
the Company has completed 2,862 auger samples for which assays have
been received. The Company is currently advancing several
high-priority areas for drilling through detailed geological
mapping and mechanical trenching.
Mobilisation to Puruni Area – Peters Mine
DrillingG2 also wishes to announce that it is mobilising
geologists and field crews to its 100% owned Peters Mine Project,
Puruni Region, Guyana. The Peters Mine (1904-1909) was Guyana’s
first gold mine and produced approximately 42,000 ounces at head
grades of approximately 40 g/t Au. Significantly, all the
production came from workings within 100m of surface. In the late
1990s, drilling by Guyana Goldfields intersected significant
mineralisation below the old mine workings. Additionally, local
artisanal miners have exploited several areas along strike from the
main workings, suggesting there remains considerable exploration
potential.
Dan Noone, G2 CEO, stated, “We are excited about the
gold-in-soil anomalies we discovered late last year in the OKO
district, and look forward to drilling several high priority areas
in the coming weeks. We also feel the Puruni District holds similar
potential to what has been discovered to date in the OKO-Aremu
District.”
About G2 Goldfields Inc.The G2 Goldfields team
is comprised of professionals who have been directly responsible
for the discovery of millions of ounces of gold in Guyana as well
as the financing and development of the Aurora Gold Mine, Guyana’s
largest gold mine [RPA, 43-101, Technical Report on the Aurora Gold
Mine, March 31, 2020].
In April 2024, G2 announced an Updated Mineral Resource Estimate
(“MRE”) for the Oko property in Guyana [see press
release dated April 03, 2024]. Highlights of the Updated MRE
include:
Total combined open pit and underground Resource for the Oko
Main Zone (OMZ):
- 495,000 oz. Au –
Inferred contained within 2,413,000 tonnes @ 6.38 g/t Au
- 686,000 oz. Au –
Indicated contained within 2,368,000 tonnes @ 9.03 g/t Au
Total combined open pit and underground Resource for
the Ghanie Zone:
- 604,000 oz. Au –
Inferred contained within 12,216,000 tonnes @ 1.54 g/t Au
- 236,000 oz. Au –
Indicated contained within 3,344,000 tonnes @ 2.20 g/t Au
The MRE was prepared by Micon International Limited with an
effective date of March 27, 2024. Significantly, the updated
mineral resources lie within 500 meters of surface. The Oko
district has been a prolific alluvial goldfield since its initial
discovery in the 1870s, and modern exploration techniques continue
to reveal the considerable potential of the district.
