Drilling Underway on E2Gold's Band-Ore Project

  • Focused on shallow in-fill drilling of the historic resources
  • Surface mapping and prospecting this fall
  • E2Gold to be at Precious Metals Summit in Colorado September 13-17

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / September 12, 2022 / E2Gold Inc. (TSXV:ETU)(OTCQB:ETUGF) (the "Company" or "E2Gold") is pleased to announce that its first drill program is underway on the Band-Ore gold project, located approximately 65 km west of Thunder Bay, in northwestern Ontario. The principal focus will be on the two historic resources, the "Main Zone" and the "No. 4 Zone".

Ellie Owens, President, stated, "The drill results, together with our prospecting activities will determine next steps at Band-Ore. Optioning the property was strategic with payments amounting to $150,000 before the 2nd anniversary. This minimal upfront investment allows us to thoroughly assess the potential for deposit growth without onerous commitments."

The Band-Ore project is located in the Shebandowan Greenstone Belt, which hosts a number of historical gold deposits and occurrences, including the nearby Moss Lake Gold deposit (4.0 Moz gold M&I). This greenstone belt is thought to be part of a regional east-west trend of gold-bearing belts which also host the Timmins and Hemlo gold camps, both world-class mining jurisdictions.

The drill program will focus on in-fill drilling at two historic resources1 - the Main Zone (706,000t @ 6.86g/t Au for 155,726 oz gold) and the No 4. Zone (616,000t @ 4.84g/t for 95,668 oz gold). Property-wide prospecting activities will begin later in September to develop new targets elsewhere on the project.
