4 September 2024
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 4, 2024) - Sixty North Gold Mining Ltd. (CSE: SXTY) (FSE: 2F40) (OTC Pink: SXNTF) (the "Company" or "Sixty North Gold")
Sixty North Gold Mining Ltd. has received the first batch of assays from the recently developed A-Zone West Limb and the parallel DD-Zone located 12 m to the west. A second set of samples of the East Limb of the A-Zone were submitted August 27 with results anticipated in late September.
The newly recognized DD Zone had seven samples collected with the results as shown below:
Sample | Date | Zone | Details | Description | Gold gpt |
J089401 | 2024-07-09 | DD Zone | muck | Quartz with pink alteration | 37.5 |
J089402 | 2024-07-10 | DD Zone | 1.3m chp | Quartz with pink alteration | 6.3 |
J089403 | 2024-07-13 | DD Zone | 30-32 (2m) chp | Edge qtz with pink alteration | <0.9 |
J089404 | 2024-07-13 | DD Zone | 32-34 (2m) chp | Quartz with pink alteration | 9.7 |
J089411 | 2024-07-22 | DD Zone | 970 XCE 1m chp | Quartz with pink alteration | <0.9 |
J089413 | 2024-07-23 | DD Zone | 970 XCE 0.3m chp | Quartz with pink alteration vg | 62.6 |
J089417 | 2024-07-24 | DD Zone | MR 1.5m chp | Quartz with pink alteration | <0.9 |

The seven samples average 17.24 gpt gold and have an average measured SG of 2.83 gm/cc over sample widths of 0.3 to 2 m.

The DD Zone has returned an average grade of 17.24 gpt from seven samples, ranging up to 62.6 gpt gold/0.3 m. It is exposed over 17 m in the Main Ramp where it averages 2.0 m in width. The face of the Main Ramp hosts the DD-Zone where it is 2 m wide on the west-side of the ramp. The West Limb of the A-Zone is narrower than normal and will be tested along strike to confirm widths and grades.
The East Limb of the A-Zone appears to be well mineralized with assays anticipated in late September.
A total of 250 tonnes of mineralized material has been placed on a separate pile. The successful completion of this phase will support the company's acquisition and installation of the permitted 100 tpd mill and relevant infrastructure to restart processing on site. Twelve vein samples were submitted for specific gravity analysis (SPG-04) returning an average of 2.83 gm/cc."
