TORONTO, June 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Unigold Inc. (“Unigold” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:UGD; OTCQX: UGDIF; FSE:UGB1) is pleased to provide an update on permitting, engineering and environmental activities surrounding the Candelones Oxide Project. Activities remain on schedule and the Company expects to be able to deliver a NI43-101 compliant feasibility study (“FS”), an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (“ESIA”) and an approved Exploitation Concession licence during the third quarter of this year.

In late February 2022, the Company submitted an application to convert a portion of the Neita Exploration Concession into an Exploitation Concession. The application was accepted as complete by the Dirección General de Minería and published in the national press as required by Dominican Mining Law. No material comments were received from the public regarding the application. The perimeter survey work and control points have been checked and verified by the General de Minería who are now finalizing their review. Once this review is complete the Company expects is that a favourable opinion on the technical, economical and social aspects will be granted at which point the application will be passed up to the Ministerio de Energía y Minas for review by the Minister’s office and ultimately sent for Presidential review. The Company is hopeful of receiving the completed Exploitation Concession Licence in the third quarter of this year. Once granted, the licence gives the Company the sole right to extract most metallic minerals from the concession area for 75 years.

The Company is pleased to report that it has filed it’s inaugural Environmental and Social Governance (“ESG”) report. This reporting is an integral part of good corporate governance practice and is absolutely essential as the Company moves towards a production decision. The report is available through our website at www.unigoldinc.com.

The Company commenced ESIA work in Q4/2021. Field work to document flora, fauna, socioeconomic and cultural topics is substantially complete. Hydrographic surveys are on-going and water usage is being documented. This work will continue throughout most of the July-November rainy season. To date, no issues of concern have been identified. A draft report is expected to be tabled for public comment in late September or early October. The Company would like to be in a position to table a final report for approval by the end of the year once all public comments have been deferred or addressed. Environmental permits will be required in advance of construction.

Engineering work continues on the Oxide project in order to convert the 2021 PEA into a feasibility level report. Infill drilling of inferred resource blocks was completed in Q1 of this year and the results incorporated into a new block model and mine plan for the deposit. Final data from large diameter column tests was released in Q1 which showed over 90% recovery could be achieved from Run-of-Mine (“RoM”) material. Detailed topographic surveys were completed in early Q2 in order to support capital cost estimates for earthworks. Geotechnical work around the proposed heap leach pad location also commenced in Q1 and this work is on-going. Detailed testing of mineralized material will likely continue throughout the rest of this year in order to verify the material handling procedures for an eventual operation. Mining contractors have been identified and operating cost estimates for a contract mining operation are being refined. Domestic sources of lime and cement have been identified and budget quotes for delivery have been assembled. Bulk samples of oxidized material have been collected for characterization studies and more thorough column testing in advance of production. This metallurgical work will likely continue into next year. Feasibility design will be based on testwork completed to date. The Company expects to be able to release the results of feasibility level engineering, including updated capital and operating cost estimates, in Q3 of this year. Although inflation will undoubtedly impact both operating and capital cost estimates the PEA utilized Q2/2021 numbers such that the company expects any impact to minimal.

Work on the sulphide portion of the deposit has been suspended for the first half of this year as the Company concentrated on the work necessary to bring the oxide deposits towards a production decision. As this work nears completion in Q3, the Company will start to devote resources to the engineering of the sulphide deposits. The Company would like to be in a position by year-end to demonstrate how the resources available in the sulphide portion of the deposit will fit into a long-term plan for Candelones.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Liberty Gold Corp. (TSX: LGD; OTCQX: LGDTF) (“Liberty Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the receipt of the 2022 Environmental Excellence Award from the State of Utah Department of Natural Resources, Division of Oil, Gas and Mining on June 22, 2022, from Chris D. Hansen, Board Chairman. The award acknowledges the Company’s innovative use of GIS, LIDAR and other technology in reclamation efforts at its Goldstrike Oxide Gold Property in southwestern Utah.

Gerald Heston, Environmental and GIS Manager, made a formal presentation to the Board of the State of Utah, Division of Oil, Gas and Mining on April 27^th and received the award on behalf of Pilot Goldstrike, Inc.

Liberty Gold’s innovative use of GIS and other technology to track exploration build and reclamation goes above and beyond industry standards and state regulations. Extensive GIS and 3D modeling tools help us plan out our projects, make efficient use of resources, minimize disturbance, and avoid environmental problems. The processes of exploration and reclamation operate in sync with each other and include returning slope topography to its natural state and re-seeding and replanting in line with appropriate plant species on each project. The Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining is recommending that other operators use Liberty Gold’s model for their work.

Pete Shabestari, Vice President of Operations, Great Basin Manger, stated, “Gerald has been instrumental in going above and beyond in his innovative use of GIS and mapping to track in the reclamation process at the Goldstrike Oxide Gold Deposit in Washington County, Utah. The entire team thanks you for your commitment, dedication, and leadership in environmental stewardship.”

Jon Gilligan, Chief Operating Officer, stated, “Liberty Gold’s reclamation efforts and outcomes are unique in the Great Basin. We reclaim land we have disturbed through exploration as quickly as possible, ensuring the ground is returned to its original state or better. Gerald was instrumental in developing our GIS system to track these activities and provide full transparency to the authorities. As a Great Basin oxide gold exploration and development company we are proud of our environmental record and see this as another step in our evolving ESG journey.”

ABOUT LIBERTY GOLD
Liberty Gold is focused on exploring for and developing open pit oxide deposits in the Great Basin of the United States, home to large-scale gold projects that are ideal for open-pit mining. This region is one of the most prolific gold-producing regions in the world and stretches across Nevada and into Idaho and Utah. We know the Great Basin and are driven to discover and advance big gold deposits that can be mined profitably in open-pit scenarios. Our flagship projects are Black Pine in Idaho and Goldstrike in Utah, both past- producing open-pit mines, where previous operators only scratched the surface.
