(“G2” or the “Company”) (TSXV: GTWO; OTCQX: GUYGF) is pleased to announce the maiden underground mineral resource estimate at the Oko Main Zone (OMZ) located within the 27,608-acre OKO-AREMU Project, Guyana. Highlights of the resource include:
and
G2’s resource study was prepared to National Instrument 43-101 standards by Micon International Limited and is based on 98 intersecting drill holes. The resource study estimates the gold content hosted by three primary shear zones (S3, S4, & S5) which vary in length between 350 and 750 metres and have been explored to a maximum depth of approximately 350m, where they remain wide open. Additionally, shear zones 4 and 5 are both open along strike to the north. The Company has mobilized three diamond drill rigs to rapidly build upon the high-grade foundational resource.

Daniel Noone, CEO, stated, “We are proud to announce an initial resource at OMZ. This marks the first milestone in the ultimate journey to release the full value of our Oko-Aremu project. It provides an excellent platform from which to launch a robust district wide target definition program in parallel with resource expansion at the OMZ.”
Boaz Wade, VP Exploration, stated, “We are delighted to have successfully advanced the OMZ target to initial resource phase and would like to sincerely thank all our stakeholders for their unwavering support up to and beyond this significant milestone. This maiden resource is defined on only one of several targets in an extensive and exciting exploration project pipeline, where we have identified several brownfield and grassroots opportunities across the district. As part of an aggressive plan to screen and advance these targets, we are expanding our geology team and restructuring personnel to two functional groups focused on target generation and evaluation, and resource definition and expansion. We are confident that through the continued application of systematic and disciplined exploration practices we will achieve our main objectives of adding value through additional discoveries in complement to the expansion of the OMZ maiden resource.”
Patrick Sheridan, Executive Chairman, stated, “We feel strongly that the discovery of this foundational high-grade resource, coupled with our planned expansion and exploration program, will establish the OKO District as one of the premier high-grade gold projects in the Americas.”

The Oko Main Zone discovery is the initial fruit of the application of this extensive in-country experience. Ongoing exploration within the 17km long Aremu – Oko trend has generated multiple drill targets, similar in geological setting and scale to Oko Main. The Aremu – Oko district has been a prolific alluvial goldfield since the rush of the 1870’s. Modern exploration by the G2 Goldfields team has begun and continues to reveal the exceptional potential of this district.
