VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Liberty Gold Corp. (TSX: LGD; OTCQX: LGDTF) (“Liberty Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce additional results from the 2021 Reverse Circulation (“RC”) drill program from its Black Pine Oxide Gold deposit in southeastern Idaho (“Black Pine”). Additionally, the Company is pleased to announce the receipt of C$11.0 million in cash since June 30, 2021, from the exercise of 18.5 million C$0.60 share purchase warrants which expired on October 2, 2021. Liberty Gold has no remaining share purchase warrants outstanding.
The 70,000 metre (“m”) RC drill program at Black Pine in 2021 has several objectives, including: step-out drilling to extend the known zones of mineralization which all remain open for expansion; resource upgrade drilling; and the testing of new target areas with the goal to define new high-grade discoveries such as the recent D-4 discovery at Rangefront. Results from step-out and resource upgrade drilling in the Discovery Zone, E Zone and Tallman North areas are presented in this news release.
Following the D-4 discovery at Rangefront, which includes 0.91 grams per tonne gold (“g/t Au”) over 86.9 m and 2.03 g/t Au over 21.3 m in LBP356 (see September 1, 2021 press release), two drill rigs have been mobilized to this area and results from over a dozen holes are pending. The drills are testing between the two Rangefront Deposit pits, near the southern portion of the historical heap leach pad and stepping out from the D-4 high grade oxide gold discovery. Given the large size and the low elevation of the Rangefront D-4 discovery, budgeting is underway for a winter drill program. A third rig continues the resource upgrade and step-out drilling program in the Discovery Zone and a core rig is on-site conducting geotechnical drilling and initiating phase 4 metallurgy testing, including in the D-4 Rangefront area.
Cal Everett, President and CEO of Liberty Gold stated, “The 2021 drill program at Black Pine continues to accomplish its goals of stepping-out and extending areas of known gold mineralization, resource upgrading and targeting new gold discoveries. Today’s results demonstrate that the Discovery Zone mineralization extends in two directions and indicates the potential to join the E Zone and the Discovery Zone into a larger, single pit. Our next batch of results will include additional drilling in the Rangefront D-4 discovery area, while still early days the large target area has the potential to be of similar or greater scale to the Discovery Zone.”

DISCOVERY ZONE AND E ZONE STEP-OUT DRILLING HIGHLIGHTS
- Step-out holes extend the mineralization in the Discovery Zone to the east and west.
- Step-out holes extend E Zone mineralization to the west and the north, with potential to link the E Zone and the Discovery Zone mineralization into a single resource pit.
- Results of step-out drilling are reported for four areas:
- The southern extension of the D-1 zone, part of the Discovery Zone;
- The western extension of the Discovery Zone
- The western extension of the E Zone; and
- The northern extension of the E Zone extending towards the Discovery Zone.
- High-grade gold mineralization was encountered at the southern end of the D-1 Zone, including, extending mineralization to the east of the resource pit.
- Step-out holes were also drilled along the western edge of Discovery Zone and were successful in extending mineralization in that direction.
- Mineralization was extended down dip to the west of the E Zone resource pit. Up to 45.7 m of continuous, above cut-off gold mineralization was encountered in LBP332, with several thick zones encountered in LBP328. The E Zone West holes were drilled to the west from the top of a ridge; therefore, mineralization is shallow relative to surface.

NORTH TALLMAN HIGHLIGHTS
- Several step-out holes down-dip to the north side of the historic Tallman Pit intersected high-grade gold mineralization, but cyanide solubility numbers in this small area are low primarily due to the presence of organic carbon proximal to and below the historical pit floor.
- The presence of gold mineralization in this area presents the possibility that it can be traced laterally into areas with no organic carbon and high cyanide solubility.
- Tallman Pit results appear to mark the southeast edge of the Discovery Zone projected pit wall. Progressing to the southeast past the Rangefront fault, there is no indication of any carbonaceous material in all holes drilled to date.

2021 WORK PROGRAM
Drilling commenced April 1st and is focused on upgrading inferred portions of the resource to indicated, step-out drilling on defined targets and discovery drilling throughout the 12 km2 permitted drill area. The initial resource pit encompasses the Discovery Zone (D-1, D-2 and D-3 high-grade oxide gold zones) as well as smaller pits at the Rangefront, M, CD, F, J, E and Back Range zones. The Black Pine oxide mineral resource estimate released on July 13 (see below) does not include any drilling conducted in 2021. All zones remain open for extension, with the current drill program focussed on:
- Building on the recent drill results in the Rangefront area
- Expanding the Discovery Zone resource to the southwest, west, southeast, and east
- Linking the E Zone to the F Zone and CD Zone and assessing whether this portion of the gold system can be extended to the northeast to link with the Discovery Zone
- Converting inferred ounces in the current resource to indicated
- Testing the shallow, high-grade Back Range Zone for the first time
- Testing other frontier areas where surface geology and geochemistry suggest the presence of shallow zones of oxide gold.
ABOUT BLACK PINE
Black Pine is located in the northern Great Basin, immediately adjacent to the Utah/Idaho border. It is a Carlin-style gold system, similar in many ways to the prolific deposits located along Nevada’s Carlin trend. Like Nevada Gold Mines Corp. Long Canyon deposit, Black Pine represents a growing number of Carlin-style gold systems located off the main Carlin and Cortez trends in underexplored parts of the Great Basin. The historic Black Pine Mine operated from 1992 to 1997, during a period of historically low gold prices, with 435,000 ounces of gold produced from five composite, shallow pits, at an average grade of 0.63 g/t Au.
A resource estimate containing an indicated mineral resource of 1,715,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of 0.51 g/t Au and totalling 105,075,000 tonnes; and an inferred mineral resource of 370,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of 0.37 g/t Au and totalling 31,211,000 tonnes was released on July 13, with the resource technical report filed on SEDAR and available on the Liberty Gold website on August 19, 2021.
A virtual site tour and 3D model of Black Pine property, including details about the geology and mineralization, is available on the homepage of the Company’s website: libertygold.ca
QUALITY ASSURANCE – QUALITY CONTROL
Drill composites were calculated using a cut-off of 0.20 g/t Au. Drill intersections are reported as drilled thicknesses. True widths of the mineralized intervals vary between 30% and 100% of the reported lengths due to varying drill hole orientations but are typically in the range of 60% to 80% of true width. Drill samples were assayed by ALS Limited in Reno, Nevada for gold by Fire Assay of a 30 gram (1 assay ton) charge with an AA finish, or if over 5.0 g/t Au were re-assayed and completed with a gravimetric finish. For these samples, the gravimetric data were utilized in calculating gold intersections. For any samples assaying over 0.200 ppm an additional cyanide leach analysis is done where the sample is treated with a 0.25% NaCN solution and rolled for an hour. An aliquot of the final leach solution is then centrifuged and analyzed by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. QA/QC for all drill samples consists of the insertion and continual monitoring of numerous standards and blanks into the sample stream, and the collection of duplicate samples at random intervals within each batch. Selected holes are also analyzed for a 51 multi-element geochemical suite by ICP-MS. ALS Geochemistry-Reno is ISO 17025:2005 Accredited, with the Elko prep lab listed on the scope of accreditation.

ABOUT LIBERTY GOLD
Liberty Gold is focused on exploring the Great Basin of the United States, home to large-scale gold projects that are ideal for open-pit mining. This region is one of the most prolific gold-producing regions in the world and stretches across Nevada and into Idaho and Utah. We know the Great Basin and are driven to discover and advance big gold deposits that can be mined profitably in open-pit scenarios. Our flagship projects are Black Pine in Idaho and Goldstrike in Utah, both past- producing open-pit mines, where previous operators only scratched the surface.
