North Bay Resources Announces Composite Assays of 0.53 and 0.44 Troy Ounces per Ton Gold in Trenches B + C at Fran Gold, British Columbia

BISHOP, Calif., June 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- North Bay Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “North Bay”) (OTC: NBRI) is pleased to announce assays have been received from recent exploration at its Fran Gold Joint Venture (the “Property” or “Fran”). Assays were taken over a wide area of known gold mineralization across pre-existing trenches A through E. Assays from separate composite samples from trenches B and C resulted in near identical results of 0.5 troy ounces per ton of gold. This central area of the Property is recognized as the richest area in the Bullion Alley Zone, and is supported by extensive drilling, reflecting a potential feeder zone. This area remains the focus of upcoming bulk sampling. In addition, trenches A and B, assayed 0.9% copper with high iron.

Assays were completed at ALS Global Laboratory, North Vancouver, BC, utilizing fire assay with atomic absorption finish for gold, ALS Method Au-AA25 and 36 Element Aqua Regia ICP for other minerals, ALS Method ME-ICP41.

Fran Gold Project

North Bay has entered a 50/50 joint venture earn-in agreement with MGX Minerals, Inc., regarding the Fran Gold Project, British Columbia. The Property is 34,360 acres and is located 20 miles from Centerra Gold’s 60,000 tonne per day Mt. Milligan Copper, Gold Mine (299Mt @ 0.22% Cu, .45 g/t Au). To date there has been in excess of 50,000 feet of diamond drilling in 104 holes at Fran, primarily at the Bullion Alley Zone. A gold deposit, 3700 feet in length, with width of up to 120 feet, and depth of over 700 feet has been delineated. The deposit contains 3 to 4 well defined parallel gold veins grading up to 2.6 troy ounces of gold per ton as well as wide sections of low and mid-grade gold in veins and disseminated in veinlets throughout the deposit. Surface trenching has identified a near surface sub-zone where the gold bearing veins swell and are accessible from surface. In addition, samples have assayed up to 1.68% copper and 5.1 troy ounces per ton silver. There is property wide potential for additional discoveries of gold and copper with numerous showings outside of the Bullion Alley Zone.
