Marathon Confirms Continuity by Drilling High-Grades Through Main Zone of Leprechaun Deposit, Valentine Lake Gold Camp, Newfoundland:
3.42 g/t Au over 181 meters & 2.65 g/t Au over 301 meters
Marathon Gold Corporation (“Marathon” or the “Company”) (TSX:MOZ) is pleased to report the very positive results of new drilling down through the en-echelon stacked quartz-tourmaline-pyrite-gold (QTP) veining of the Main Zone corridor at the Leprechaun Deposit, Valentine Lake Gold Camp, central Newfoundland. The new drilling confirms the continuity of excellent gold grades down through the more than 350-meter deep and 25-60-meter wide mineralized Main Zone corridor of the Leprechaun Deposit (Figures 1 & 2). The dominant shallow southwest dipping en-echelon QTP veining and lesser shear parallel QTP veining of the Leprechaun Deposit is similar to the dominant shallow dipping QTP veining of the Marathon Deposit as well as elsewhere throughout the Valentine Gold Camp.
