Doubleview Gold Corp. announce the first set of drill hole assay results from its 2024 drilling campaign at its 100% owned Hat polymetallic porphyry in northwestern British Columbia.
Highlights and significant downhole intervals include the following:
Drill hole H072:
- 686.0m of 0.23% Cu, 0.16 g/t Au, 64 g/t Co, 0.33 g/t Ag and 25.7 g/t Sc (0.38% CuEq*)
- including 154.0m of 0.66% Cu, 0.46 g/t Au, 112 g/t Co, 0.96 g/t Ag and 24 g/t Sc (1.07% CuEq*)
- including 62.0m of 1.12% Cu, 0.79 g/t Au, 173 g/t Co, 1.62 g/t Ag and 23.9 g/t Sc (1.81 % CuEq*)
- including 2.0m of 5% Cu, 2.96 g/t Au, 511 g/t Co, 5.03 g/t Ag and 7 g/t Sc (7.48% CuEq*)
Drill hole H073:
- 109m of 0.29% Cu, 0.21 g/t Au, 83 g/t Co, 0.47 g/t Ag and 29.6 g/t Sc (0.5% CuEq*).
Drill hole H074:
- 128 m of 0.18%Cu, 0.14 g/t Au, 82 g/t Co, 0.29 g/t Ag and 29 g/t Sc (0.33% CuEq*)
(Note 1: CuEq currently does not include the Scandium)
The recent drill holes were strategically directed towards untested central areas of the Lisle Zone, which are integral to the block model developed by our consulting team for the Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). All three drill holes are situated within the mineral resource pit, as detailed in Doubleview’s news release dated July 25, 2024. These drill results not only validate the existing block model but also provide additional data that enhances our confidence in its accuracy. In preparation for the upcoming enhanced resource estimate for the Hat deposit, our primary objective of demonstrating continuity, increasing the density of data, and further improving the quality of the geological models, has been successfully achieved. The three cross sections included in this release illustrate the intersected mineralization within the Hat polymetallic mineral deposit, highlighting the mineralized blocks for each drill hole.
“The objectives of the 2024 drilling program are to enhance the data intensity where it is warranted, identify additional near surface copper and gold mineralization, and increase the tonnage and volume of the Hat deposit. These drill holes provide important geological information and data that bridge the area between drill holes H034 and H031, H012 and H071 while verifying the block model. We are pleased to see the years of work on the Hat project come to fruition, particularly to see the continuation of long intervals of strong copper mineralization”.

| Notes: – Metal equivalents should not be relied upon for future evaluations. – Drill hole intercepts included in this news release are core lengths that may or may not be true widths of mineralization. It is not possible to determine true widths. – Parameters used to calculate Copper Equivalent: Au price (US$/oz): 1900; Ag price (US$/oz): 24; Cu price (US$/lb): 4; Co price (US$/lb): 22. Au recovery: 89.0%; Ag recovery: 68.0%; Cu recovery: 84.0%; Co recovery: 78.0%. * Copper Equivalent Calculation CuEq in % = ([Ag grade in ppm] *24*0.68/31.1035 + [Au grade in ppm] *1900*.89/31.1035 + 0.0001* [Co grade in ppm] *22*0.78*22.0462 + 0.0001* [Cu grade in ppm] *4*0.84*22.0462)/(4*22.0462*0.84).

Quality Assurance and Quality Control:
Core samples were prepared at the North Vancouver facility of ALS Canada Ltd. using their PREP-31, PGM-ICP24, ME-MS61, and ME-ICP06 packages. Each core sample is dried, then crushed to 70% passing a 2mm screen. All material is processed in an automatic Riffle splitter to yield a 250g homogenized, representative sample. This sub-sample is then pulverized to 85% passing a 75-micron screen. All samples are analyzed for Au, Pt, Pd by 50g fire-assay fusion/ICP-ES finish, using PGM-ICP24 package. A separate 0.25g pulp split is analyzed by Four Acid digestion/ICP-MS finish, reporting 48 elements. Over limit elements are analyzed by Ore Grade Four Acid digestion/ICP-ES finish using ME-OG62 assay package. All of Doubleview’s core samples are analyzed or assayed at independent ISO 17025 and ISO 9001- certified laboratories.
