XGC Xali Gold Corp

Xali Gold Corp. (TSXV:XGC) ("Xali Gold” and/or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the initial exploration program on the Victoria Property located in Central Newfoundland has been successfully completed. The program consisted of prospecting areas which surround locations where gold-bearing quartz veins hosted by altered granitoid-type (felsic) rocks were previously documented and four heavy mineral concentrate (“HMC”) samples taken at that time, contained high grades of gold.

Prospecting resulted in more outcrops being found than expected and a total of 20 rock samples were collected from four areas on the property. Several outcrops of altered felsic volcanic rocks, one with quartz veining, were discovered and sampled in the central portion of the project. Strong shearing was also evident in places.   A sulphide bearing quartz breccia vein was found in a second area, further to the southeast and prospecting in a third part of the property revealed mineralized quartz veins hosted by a felsic intrusive rock.

“We’re excited to have found more outcrop than expected and the presence of extensive alteration, quartz veining and stockwork as well as felsic intrusions and sulphides near to gold bearing tills. We look forward to receiving analytical results from the samples taken on our Victoria Property,” said Joanne Freeze, President and CEO of Xali Gold.

All the samples have been submitted to Eastern Analytical Ltd in Springdale, Newfoundland for 34 element Induced Coupled Plasma analysis (“ICP”) and Fire Assay for gold. Based on the preliminary evaluation and pending results from the laboratory, additional work will be planned for Q2, 2022.

For more information about the Victoria Property, please see News Release 098 dated August 4, 2021.

Xali Gold’s new Victoria Property is located just 3 kilometres southwest of Marathon’s Valentine Gold Project (see Newfoundland Map). Marathon has defined (Measured and Indicated) reserves of 3.14 million ounces (“Moz”) gold and Inferred resources of 1.00 Moz (https://marathon-gold.com/valentine-gold-project/) and mine construction is expected to commence in early 2022. *There are no assurances that similar results would be obtained on Xali Gold’s Victoria Property.

The Company recently entered into an option agreement to acquire 100% interest in the Victoria Property (see News Release 097 dated July 14, 2021).

About Xali GoldXali Gold has launched a comprehensive growth strategy to acquire gold and silver projects with near surface exploration potential, near-term production potential and previous mining histories.   Xali Gold plans to advance our growing bank of gold and silver assets internally and/or with industry partners.

El Oro remains our flagship asset, as it is a district scale gold project encompassing a well-known prolific high-grade gold-silver epithermal vein system in Mexico.   The project covers 20 veins with past production and more than 57 veins in total, from which approximately 6.4 million ounces of gold and 74 million ounces of silver were reported to have been produced from just two of these veins (Ref. Mexico Geological Service Bulletin No. 37, Mining of the El Oro and Tlapujahua Districts. 1920, T. Flores*).   Modern understanding of such systems indicates that several of the El Oro district’s veins hold excellent discovery potential.

Xali Gold is dedicated to being a responsible Community partner.
