Drill hole TB-24-004 intersected an interval that contains mineralized quartz vein material with up to 4% pyrite and 2% pyrrhotite.

"Our drill team was extremely efficient throughout the core drilling program at Tabor. Initial interpretation shows encouraging alteration and mineralization in the holes and we are pleased with how the maiden drill program was executed," said Scott Walters, CEO of Big Gold. "The first two sample shipments have already been delivered to the laboratory and assays are in progress, and final logging and sampling will be completed in the coming days."
About the Tabor Project
Tabor is adjacent to the east, along trend of Goldshore's Moss Lake gold deposit that hosts current inferred or higher category mineral resources of 6.73 million ounces gold, including an Indicated Resource of 1.535 million ounces gold grading 1.23 g/t and an Inferred Resource of 5.198 million ounces gold at a grade of 1.11 g/t* and Tabor is located approximately 20 km to the west of the Delta Resources Delta-1 Project ("Delta-1")* (Technical Report filed March 21, 2024 www.goldshoreresources.com).
Gold mineralization on the Project is, at least in part, associated with quartz veins, shearing and more abundant sulphides. Geological and mineralization characteristics at Tabor are similar to those found on some of the neighbouring properties, including Goldshore's Moss Lake project where a recent drill hole intersected 2.17 g/t gold over 50.35 m and at the Delta-1, where Delta Resources Limited recently (March 1, 2024) reported a drill intercept of 15.94 g/t gold over 10 m.
