Sasquatch Resources Receives Positive Results From Grid Sampling Program Across Waste Rock Areas at Mount Sicker

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 27, 2024 / SASQUATCH RESOURCES CORP. (CSE:SASQ) ("Sasquatch" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received lab results from 97 bag samples obtained from a grid sampling program across multiple waste rock areas on the Company's Mount Sicker Property, and they are better than expected.

The program was designed by Jacques Houle, P.Eng., to give the Company an idea of a "base case" for mineralization across all the waste rock areas within our claims at Mount Sicker. For all 97 samples, the average grades are as follows: 1.86 g/t gold, 48.6 g/t silver, 1.22% copper and 3.05% zinc. Many samples also have elevated values of bismuth, cadmium, Indium, lead, molybdenum, antimony and/or tellurium. A map showing waste rock sample locations, as well as a comprehensive chart showing all results and notes, are provided at the end of this news release.

The sample locations were deliberately selected on a grid to obtain a representative idea of mineralization for the waste rock generally and excluded the hundreds of larger rocks and boulders throughout the waste rock area showing visual evidence of high-grade mineralization. Previously reported grab samples from the waste rock areas returned results as high as 23.3 g/t gold, 397 g/t silver, 10.5% copper and 30% zinc (highs from 4 different samples, see Sasquatch's news release dated January 18, 2023). A full list of samples taken at Mount Sicker, and lab results, are available on our website at sasquatchresources.com.

Pete Smith, Sasquatch CEO, commented "this is extremely encouraging, as we appear to have highly anomalous gold, silver, copper and zinc across all the waste rock areas, even while excluding highly mineralized rocks and boulders that drew our attention to the waste rock potential at Mount Sicker in the first place. Add all this to the mineralized zones we have previously identified in the ground, starting right at surface and directly under the waste rock piles, and our economic case continues to grow by leaps and bounds. See our news release from October 31, 2023, for more detail about these previously identified zones."

Our waste-rock story was recently documented by a local journalist from CHEK 6 News, and is reproduced here.
