Provenance Gold Completes First Infill and Step-Out RC Drill Holes at Eldorado
Provenance Gold (CSE: PAU) (OTCQB: PVGDF) has provided an update on its 2025 drilling program at the Eldorado Project in Malheur County, Oregon. The company has completed the first two RC holes (ED 12-13) with samples at the Reno assay lab, while hole ED-14 is currently at 201 meters in mineralized rock.
The drilling program focuses on expanding known mineralization and improving structural interpretation, with step-outs of approximately 50 meters. The company has confirmed a correlation between gold mineralization and fracture density within the host diorite, with highly fractured zones corresponding to northeast- and north-south-trending structural corridors. Mineralization is primarily hosted in dioritic intrusive rocks, while meta-sedimentary units remain largely untested.
Provenance Gold (CSE: PAU) (OTCQB: PVGDF) ha fornito un aggiornamento sul programma di perforazione 2025 presso il Progetto Eldorado nella contea di Malheur, Oregon. L'azienda ha completato i primi due fori RC (ED 12-13) con campioni inviati al laboratorio di analisi di Reno, mentre il foro ED-14 ha raggiunto attualmente i 201 metri in roccia mineralizzata.
Il programma di perforazione mira ad espandere la mineralizzazione nota e a migliorare l'interpretazione strutturale, con estensioni di circa 50 metri. L'azienda ha confermato una correlazione tra la mineralizzazione aurifera e la densità delle fratture nella diorite ospitante, con zone altamente fratturate che corrispondono a corridoi strutturali orientati a nord-est e nord-sud. La mineralizzazione è principalmente ospitata in rocce intrusive dioritiche, mentre le unità meta-sedimentarie rimangono in gran parte inesplorate.

La compañÃa ha completado los primeros dos pozos RC (ED 12-13) con muestras enviadas al laboratorio de análisis en Reno, mientras que el pozo ED-14 actualmente alcanza los 201 metros en roca mineralizada.
El programa de perforación se centra en expandir la mineralización conocida y mejorar la interpretación estructural, con extensiones de aproximadamente 50 metros. La compañÃa ha confirmado una correlación entre la mineralización de oro y la densidad de fracturas dentro de la diorita huésped, con zonas muy fracturadas que corresponden a corredores estructurales orientados al noreste y norte-sur. La mineralización se encuentra principalmente en rocas intrusivas diorÃticas, mientras que las unidades meta-sedimentarias permanecen en gran medida sin explorar.

Provenance Gold (CSE : PAU) (OTCQB : PVGDF) a fourni une mise à jour sur son programme de forage 2025 au projet Eldorado dans le comté de Malheur, Oregon. La société a terminé les deux premiers trous RC (ED 12-13) avec des échantillons envoyés au laboratoire d'analyse de Reno, tandis que le trou ED-14 a atteint actuellement 201 mètres dans une roche minéralisée.
Le programme de forage vise à étendre la minéralisation connue et à améliorer l'interprétation structurale, avec des extensions d'environ 50 mètres. La société a confirmé une corrélation entre la minéralisation aurifère et la densité des fractures dans la diorite encaissante, les zones fortement fracturées correspondant à des corridors structuraux orientés nord-est et nord-sud. La minéralisation est principalement hébergée dans des roches intrusives dioritiques, tandis que les unités métasédimentaires restent largement inexplorées.
Provenance Gold (CSE: PAU) (OTCQB: PVGDF) hat ein Update zu seinem Bohrprogramm 2025 beim Eldorado-Projekt im Malheur County, Oregon, veröffentlicht. Das Unternehmen hat die ersten beiden RC-Bohrlöcher (ED 12-13) abgeschlossen, deren Proben im Labor in Reno analysiert werden, während das Bohrloch ED-14 derzeit 201 Meter in mineralisiertem Gestein erreicht hat.
Das Bohrprogramm konzentriert sich auf die Erweiterung der bekannten Mineralisierung und die Verbesserung der strukturellen Interpretation mit Schrittweiten von etwa 50 Metern. Das Unternehmen hat eine Korrelation zwischen Goldmineralisierung und der Dichte von Frakturen im Wirtsdiorit bestätigt, wobei stark zerklüftete Zonen mit strukturellen Korridoren in Nordost- und Nord-Süd-Richtung übereinstimmen. Die Mineralisierung ist hauptsächlich in dioritischen Intrusivgesteinen vorhanden, während meta-sedimentäre Einheiten weitgehend ungetestet bleiben.
- Drilling program progressing with first two RC holes completed and third hole in mineralized rock
- Confirmed correlation between gold mineralization and fracture density in host diorite
- Identified untested exploration targets in meta-sedimentary units with potential for high-grade gold deposition
- Assay results not yet available from completed drill holes
- Large portions of potentially mineralized areas remain untested
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 29, 2025) - Provenance Gold Corp. (CSE: PAU) (OTCQB: PVGDF) (the "Company" or "Provenance") is pleased to provide an update on its ongoing 2025 drilling program at the Eldorado Project, located in Malheur County, eastern Oregon. The initial phase of the program is focused on targeted infill and step-out reverse circulation (RC) drilling within the established mineralized system, with the objective of enhancing geological understanding and expanding the project's resource potential.
2025 Phase One RC Program Update
The first 2 RC holes (ED 12-13) have been completed, and samples are currently at the assay lab in Reno for processing. Hole ED-14 is currently drilled to 201 meters in mineralized rock. Results will be released when available.
The Company's initial RC drill holes are focused on expanding the known mineralization and improving the interpretation of key structures within the mineralized system (Figure 1-3). RC drilling is being used to test down-dip and lateral extensions of the mineralized structures, with step-outs of approximately 50 meters designed to evaluate both continuity and expansion potential.
This season's RC drilling, commencing with hole ED-12, follows up on the 2023 RC drilling program that drilled holes ED-01 to ED-11 and holes EC-01, EC-02 and EC-03 that were core holes drilled in the fall of 2024.
- ED-12: Designed to better define the structural orientation intersected in ED-04 and EC-03, this hole targets a position approximately 40 meters down-dip of previous drilling. Preliminary logging indicates a change in grain size within the diorite and a notable increase in pyrite concentration near the projected location of the targeted structure.
- ED-13: Based on encouraging visual results from ED-12, this hole is a planned 50-meter lateral step-out designed to test the extension potential of Zone 2.
- ED-14: Aimed at evaluating the northwest extension and assessing grade continuity along an interpreted structural trend identified during prior drilling.
RC drilling will continue with ED-15 designed to test the continuity between two key high-grade zones intersected by EC-01 and ED-04 followed by additional step out drilling.
Building on the success of the 2024 core drilling campaign, Provenance has confirmed a strong correlation between gold mineralization and fracture density within the host diorite. Zones of increased fracturing have enabled greater fluid flow, resulting in more intense retrograde alteration accompanied by higher concentrations of pyrite and gold. These highly fractured zones correspond with dominant northeast- and north-south-trending structural corridors—a structural framework further validated by recent high-resolution drone magnetic inversion data.
Mineralization at Eldorado is predominantly hosted in dioritic intrusive rocks, while flanking meta-sedimentary units, including graphite-bearing schists, remain largely untested. These units represent compelling exploration targets based on analogous systems in the region—including areas within Eldorado East—where similar lithologies have been shown to facilitate high-grade gold deposition.
