G2 Goldfields Inc. (“
G2” or the
“
Company”) (TSX: GTWO; OTCQX: GUYGF) is pleased to
announce that its exploration teams have made a significant gold
discovery several miles north of G2’s existing gold resource at the
OKO Project, Guyana. On March 10th, 2025, G2 announced an updated
mineral resource estimate (MRE) of
1.5 million ounces of
gold (Indicated) and
1.6 million ounces of
gold (Inferred) at the OKO Project. G2 is currently
executing on district scale exploration programs across its
exploration portfolio in Guyana currently comprised of 83,967 acres
of exploration rights.
History of Discovery
Stream sediment sampling conducted by G2 in the
discovery area in 2023 and 2024 returned highly anomalous values.
Follow up soil sampling campaigns outlined a series of anomalous
gold zones in a 1400m x 900m area. The initial eight-hole diamond
drilling program focused on mapped parallel shear zones associated
with the more southerly anomalous areas. Significantly, four of
five diamond drill holes targeting the most prominent shear
intercepted shallow gold mineralization along a 420m strike
length.

Notes to Table 1: Widths are drill indicated
core length as insufficient drilling has been undertaken to
determine true widths at this time. Average grades are calculated
with un-capped gold assays, as insufficient drilling has been
completed to determine capping levels for higher grade
intercepts.
Notably, all mineralized intercepts lie within
60m of surface and the mineralized zone remains open in all
directions. Mineralization is hosted by sheared magnetite bearing
mafic volcanics. These volcanics lie within a major NE trending
greenstone belt that has been deformed between two regional
batholiths. Drilling is ongoing and multiple target areas remain
untested.

Patrick Sheridan, G2 Executive Chairman, stated
“This new discovery is a testament to the very high quality of our
exploration portfolio and the exceptional talents of our
exploration team led by Dan Noone (CEO) and Boaz Wade (VP
Exploration). This is a brand-new discovery from ‘first principles’
and we look forward to additional exploration success from our
team, partners, and portfolio of properties.”
Additional Funding Approved for G3
Spin-out
This most recent gold discovery lies within
properties in the proposed G3 Goldfields Inc. (“G3”) spin-out
portfolio. G2 intends to distribute G3 shares to existing
shareholders (see Press Releases dated January 28, 2025 and January
14, 2025). The G2 board of directors has decided it is in the best
interest of G2 shareholders to spin-out the G3 assets with C$15
million in cash instead of C$10 million as originally
announced.
QA/QC
Drill core is logged and sampled in a secure
core storage facility located on the OKO Project site, Guyana. Core
samples from the program are cut in half, using a diamond cutting
saw, and are sent to MSALABS Guyana, in Georgetown, Guyana, which
is an accredited mineral analysis laboratory, for analysis. Samples
from sections of core with obvious gold mineralisation are analysed
for total gold using an industry-standard 500g metallic screen fire
assay (MSALABS method MSC 550). All other samples are analysed for
gold using standard Fire Assay-AA with atomic absorption finish
(MSALABS method; FAS-121). Samples returning over 10.0 g/t gold are
analysed utilizing standard fire assay gravimetric methods (MSALABS
method; FAS-425). Certified gold reference standards, blanks, and
field duplicates are routinely inserted into the sample stream, as
part of G2 Goldfield’s quality control/quality assurance program
(QAQC). No QA/QC issues were noted with the results reported
herein.
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 March 2025, G2 announced an Updated Mineral
Resource Estimate (“MRE”) for the Oko property in
Guyana [see press release dated March 10, 2025]. Highlights of the
Updated MRE include:
Total combined open pit and underground Resource
for the Oko Main Zone (OMZ):
- 513,500 oz. Au – Inferred contained within 3,473,000 tonnes @
4.60 g/t Au
- 808,000 oz. Au – Indicated contained within 3,147,000 tonnes @
7.98 g/t Au
Total combined open pit and underground Resource
for the Ghanie Zone:
- 1,024,500 oz. Au – Inferred contained within 12,062,000 tonnes
@ 2.64 g/t Au
- 663,400 oz. Au – Indicated contained within 10,288,000 tonnes @
2.01 g/t Au
Total combined open pit Resource for
the Oko NW Zone:
-
97,200 oz. Au – Inferred contained within 4,976,000 tonnes @ 0.61
g/t Au
The MRE was prepared by Micon International
Limited with an effective date of March 1, 2025. Significantly, the
updated mineral resources lie within an average depth of 370 metres
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.
