Reunion Gold Corporation (TSXV: RGD; OTCQX: RGDFF) (the “Company”
or “Reunion Gold”) is pleased to announce additional drill results
from its Oko West Project, Guyana. The results include drilling
from both the resource expansion drill program below Block 4 and
continued infill drilling within areas of Inferred resources
outlined as part of the June 2023 pit constrained mineral resource
estimate (“MRE”).
- Highlights from the
resource expansion drill program, which intersected the down-dip
continuation of high grade mineralization from Block 4 down to and
below 1,000 meters (“m”) depth include hole D-360A-W2, which
intersected 14.3 m @ 8.84 grams per tonne of gold (”g/t Au”) and
10.5 m @ 6.09 g/t, drill hole D-359-W1 which intersected 24.4 m @
7.80 g/t Au, drill hole D-364, which intersected 14.0 m @ 7.40 g/t
Au, and drill hole D-362A, which intersected 15.5 m @ 4.26 g/t Au,
4.9 m @ 6.29 g/t Au and 4.3 m @ 6.64 g/t Au (all reported using a
1.5 g/t cut-off grade).
- The high-grade zone remains
fully open to further expansion below 1 km.
- The Company has now closed
and handed over an updated database to G Mining Services for the
preparation of an updated MRE expected to be announced by the end
of February 2024.
Rick Howes, President and CEO of Reunion Gold,
stated “I am very pleased with the results of both the resource
conversion and the resource expansion drill programs, which
together continue to confirm the strong levels of continuity within
the open pit resource as well as the expansion of high-grade
mineralization below the previously defined MRE pit shell, down to
depth of 1,000 m where it remains open. This also confirms that we
have significant underground potential below what is already very
significant open pit potential. Once the open pit resource model is
updated and the new underground resource model is complete, both
the open pit and underground mine design scenarios will be
evaluated as part of the Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”)
work already underway with G Mining Services. This work will also
determine the transition depth from the open pit to underground as
well as the preferred sequencing of the open pit and underground
mine. We expect to release the PEA before the end of June 2024.
Permitting also continues on schedule with baseline studies nearing
completion and Terms of Reference for the Environmental Impact
Assessment submitted to the Guyana Environmental Protection Agency
for approval.”
Resource Expansion Drill
Program
Results from the resource expansion program at
depth below the MRE pit shell continue to confirm the existence of
high-grade mineralization within block 4 of the Kairuni zone, to
depths of over 1,000 m down dip. The latest highlights from this
deep drilling are shown in Table 1 and on the long section on
Figure 1. These results include Hole D-360A-W2, which intersected
14.3 m @ 8.84 g/t Au and 10.5 m @ 6.09 g/t Au (using a 1.5 g/t Au
cut-off) within a broader interval of 50.1 m @ 4.10 g/t Au (using a
0.3 g/t cut-off) from 1039.8 m downhole; hole D-359-W1, which
intersected 24.4 m @ 7.80 g/t Au and 4.2 m @ 4.02 g/t Au (using a
1.5 g/t Au cut-off) within a broader interval of 83.5 m @ 3.06 g/t
Au (using a 0.3 g/t Au cut-off) from 721.5 m downhole; and hole
D-362A, which intersected 15.5 m @ 4.26 g/t Au, 4.9 m @ 6.29 g/t Au
and 4.3 m @ 6.64 g/t Au (using a 1.5 g/t cut-off grade) within a
broader interval of 76.0 m @ 2.27 g/t Au (using a 0.3 g/t Au
cut-off) from 991.0 m downhole. Importantly, the high-grade zone
remains open to further expansion below 1,000 m. Approximately
23,500 m of diamond drilling has been completed in areas below the
June 2023 MRE pit that will be incorporated into a new mineral
resource estimate down to depths of approx. 1,000 m, and the
Company has commenced a 20,000 m infill program for the deeper
zones of mineralization with the intention of converting any new
resources to an Indicated classification prior to the Q3 2024 start
of a planned Feasibility Study.

Infill Drilling Program
The Company has largely completed its drill
program aiming to convert most of the Inferred Resources within the
June 2023 MRE to a spacing expected to suffice for an Indicated
resource classification. The results from this drilling, which are
shown in Table 2, continue to confirm the high level of continuity
of the deposit as well as the trend toward higher grades within the
MRE pit shell at depth. Highlights from this drilling include hole
D-353A (see Figure 1), which intersected 65.9 m grading 5.12 g/t Au
(using a 0.3 g/t cut-off), including 15.5 m @ 13.52 g/t Au and 8.3
m @ 4.61 g/t Au. Results from infill drilling in Block 5 include
hole D-366 intersecting 45.0 m @ 1.85 g/t Au, including 7.3 m @
2.52 g/t Au and 4.2 m @ 3.12 g/t Au (Table 3 and Figure 2).

The drill results reported in this press release
have been included in an updated database which has been handed
over to G Mining Services in order to prepare an updated MRE, which
is expected to be released before the end of February 2024. The
updated MRE will include an update to the open pit MRE, in addition
to an initial underground resource. The updated combined open pit
and underground MRE will be incorporated into the planned PEA
study, expected to be ready for announcement before the end of June
2024.
Exploration Programs
The Company also continues to move its
exploration programs forward to investigate targets at Oko West
outside of the MRE area. As part of this work the scout drilling
geochemical program over the areas with well-developed duricrust or
other cover is largely complete (see results shown in Figure 3),
which indicates several areas of anomalous gold mineralization
outside of the MRE. In combination with conventional RC drilling,
this has proven to be a useful tool to both help condemn areas
around proposed infrastructure sites and to find areas containing
potential satellite deposits. In parallel with this scout drilling
program, the Company is completing both Induced Polarization and
Ground Magnetics geophysical surveys. These surveys have already
been completed over the area containing the MRE and are now being
advanced over other areas of interest on the Oko West project to
assist in targeting further exploration work. Once this data has
been compiled, the Company continues to conduct follow up RC and
diamond drilling in areas of interest. Outside of its work on the
Oko West property, the Company intends to take advantage of its
knowledge and experience within the Guiana Shield to identify,
acquire and explore additional exploration projects both near Oko
West and elsewhere, in both Guyana and Suriname.
Sample Collection, Assaying and Data
management
Significant intervals in this press release have
been calculated using a grade cut-off of 0.3 g/t Au, a minimum
length of ten meters, and a maximum length of ten meters of
consecutive internal waste. Included significant intervals have
been calculated using a grade cut-off of 1.5 g/t Au, a minimum
length of three meters, and a maximum length of three meters of
consecutive internal waste. Gold grades are uncapped. Mineralized
intersection lengths are not necessarily true widths and estimated
true thickness (“ETT”) has been calculated using an assumed plane
of mineralization dipping 65° towards 095°, representative of the
mineralization identified in Block 4. Complete drilling results and
drill hole data are posted on the Company's Website. Diamond drill
(DD) samples consist of half of either HQ or NQ core taken
continuously at regular intervals averaging 1.4 m, bagged, and
labelled at the site core shed. Reverse circulation (RC) drill
samples are obtained from a rotary splitter attached to a Metzke
cyclone, weighed, bagged, and tagged at the drill site. All
resource drilling samples are shipped to the Actlabs certified
laboratory in Georgetown, Guyana, respecting best-practice chain of
custody procedures. Samples from the Scout RC program and recent
conventional RC samples are shipped to MS Analytical laboratory in
Georgetown using the same chain-of-custody procedures. At each
laboratory, samples are dried, crushed to 80% passing 2 mm, riffle
split (250 g), and pulverized to 95% passing 105 μm. Coarse blanks
are inserted by the Company, and are used between and following
suspected high-grade intervals. Barren sand flushes are inserted by
the analytical laboratory after each sample is pulverized to clean
the bowl. Gold analysis is carried out through a 50 g fire assay
with an atomic absorption finish. Initial assays with results above
3.0 g/t Au are re-assayed with a gravimetric finish. Samples with
visible gold are additionally assayed with a metallic screen method
using 1 kg of pulp. Certified reference materials and blanks are
inserted at a rate of 5% of samples shipped to the laboratories. RC
field duplicates and DD umpire pulp duplicates are also generated
at a rate of 5% of samples. Pulp umpire duplicates are analyzed at
the MS Analytical certified laboratory in Georgetown. Assay data is
subject to QA/QC prior to accepting into the Company database
managed by an independent consultant.
