Garibaldi Intersects Broad Intervals Of Nickel-Copper Sulphide Mineralization In First Drill Hole At E&L
September 1, 2017
| Vancouver, British Columbia, September 1, 2017 - Garibaldi Resources (TSX.V: GGI) (the “Company” or “Garibaldi”) is pleased to report that the Company has intersected two long intervals of nickel-copper sulphide mineralization totaling 176 meters and consisting of pyrrhotite-pentlandite-chalcopyrite in the first drill hole at its 100%-owned E&L Project at Nickel Mountain near Eskay Creek. Drilling of the second hole begins imminently. Significantly, borehole EL-17-01 was drilled away from the historic mineralized zones into a previously untested area in order to provide the best immediate platform for SJ Geophysics’ Volterra borehole EM survey as it gauges the orientation of conductor “D”. This new discovery convincingly expands the scale of the mineralizing system eastward from the high tenor E&L mineralization and beyond the historic estimates from 12 shallow holes drilled by Silver Standard in the 1960’s. The down-hole survey will be completed for each drill hole and is expected to provide a reliable vector to the interpreted massive sulphide body. Additional highlights of the first drill hole:
“The range in rock types, including the chaotic-textured rock types at E&L, are similar to those found in other global examples of nickel sulphide deposits hosted by small intrusions that provided very efficient ‘magma highways’ from the mantle,” Dr. Lightfoot concluded. True widths of the mineralized zones intersected in the first hole are unknown at this time. GGI Accelerates Nickel Mountain Program Garibaldi is pleased to announce that it has arranged a non-brokered private placement to raise total gross proceeds of $6,000,000 (CDN). The fully subscribed financing is expected to close by no later than September 15, 2017. Private Placement Details Garibaldi will issue 2,307,697 units at 65 cents per share (gross proceeds of $1,500,000) and 5,999,999 flow-through units at 75 cents per share (gross proceeds of $4,500,000). Each common share unit at 65 cents comprises one common share in the capital of the Company and one full non-transferable share purchase warrant. Each warrant is exercisable into one common share at a price of 90 cents for a period of two years. Each flow-through unit at 75 cents contains one flow-through and one-half of a non-transferable share purchase warrant. Each full warrant is exercisable into one common share in the capital of the Company at a price of 90 cents per share for a period of two years. All units from the private placement are subject to a 4-month hold period from the date of issuance. The financing will include finder’s fee commissions and is subject to TSX Venture approval. The proceeds from the flow-through financing will be used to advance the E&L Nickel Mountain Project and other Garibaldi properties in the Eskay Camp and elsewhere in British Columbia. Proceeds from the non-flow-through financing are intended to be put toward advancing the Company’s gold and silver properties in Mexico, and for general corporate purposes.
