Rumble Resources Completes Phase I Exploration Work at Woolford Creek Silver-Gold Project

Rumble Resources Completes Phase I Exploration Work at Woolford Creek Silver-Gold Project

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – September 5, 2024) – Rumble Sources Inc.. (CSE: RB) (“Rumble” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the successful completion of the Phase I exploration program at its Woolford Creek property (the “Property”) in the Adams Plateau region of the Kamloops Mining Division, British Columbia.

Program Summary:

  • Rumble’s exploration team examined the Nik East quartz veins, revealing where a notable 2020 sample contained 10.4 grams gold per tonne. Four channels were cut through the Nik East quartz veins to collect six channel samples, along with two grab samples from the vein ends. The quartz veins were found to be 12.5 feet (3.8 metres) thick, with variable thickness along the strike, characterised by white, rusty and vuggy quartz with sulphide flecks and country rock clasts. Roadside mapping along this section was extended north to the claim boundary, revealing additional quartz veins, which were also sampled.

  • A 40 to 50 m wide phyllite outcrop southeast of the Nik East Showing, with numerous quartz veins, was studied. Eleven representative chip samples were collected from these veins.

  • A new oxidized zone 6.1 to 6.7 m wide was identified, with disseminated lead content, associated with a volcanic dike 18.29 to 21.33 m wide.

  • A total of 55 soil and 59 rock samples (grab, channel and chip) were collected. All 59 rock samples and 19 soil samples were sent to ALS Labs for analysis, with 15 rock samples selected for gold analyses using fire assays.

  • The northern claims (#1077968 and #1077619) were inaccessible due to snow cover.

  • The geophysical ground survey, including magnetic and VLF, was performed in two grids (west and east), collecting a total of 563 measurements.

Highlights of the analysis:

  • Silver values ​​ranged from 0.01 ppm to 3.23 ppm, with some notable samples exceeding 1.0 ppm.

  • Gold values ​​were generally low, with eight samples above 0.2 ppm and one sample at 0.73 ppm.

  • Copper values ​​ranged from 0.9 ppm to 2,120 ppm, with several samples exceeding 1,000 ppm.

  • Geophysical surveys identified two major targets: Target (A) on the western grid with high magnetic gradients and electromagnetic conductivity, and Target (B) on the eastern grid which was interpreted as a sulfide lithologic contact (see figures below).

Afzaal Pirzada, P.Geo., a “qualified person” under National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information in this press release.

Sample preparation, analysis and security

Rock samples for the 2024 exploration program were collected in the field by placing 0.3 to 2 kilograms of material in a heavy-duty plastic sample bag with the sample number written in permanent marker. Each sample bag was then sealed with a plastic tie and the samples were returned to the Chase, British Columbia base station at the end of each day. Rock samples were recorded by location (UTM-NAD 83), sample type (grab, composite grab, chip, etc.), exposure type (outcrop, rubble, drift, etc.). In addition, lithology, color, texture, and grain size were described. Sample locations were determined by a handheld GPS set to report locations in UTM coordinates using the North American Datum established in 1983 (NAD 83) Zone 11N. The samples were packaged and tagged using best practices and delivered to ALS Laboratories, 2103 Dollarton Hwy, North Vancouver, BC V7H 0A7 for sample preparation and analysis.

ALS Laboratories is an independent group of laboratories accredited under both ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 9001:2015 for specific registered tests. The sample analysis packages used for 2024 samples were: Au-ICP21 (Au 30g FA ICP-AES finish -ICP – AES) and ME-MS41 (Ultra Trace Aqua Regia ICP-MS).
