Austin Gold Corporate Update
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 22, 2023) - Austin Gold Corp. (NYSE American: AUST) ("Austin" or the "Company") provides the following corporate update.
As reported previously, the Company completed a drilling program on the Miller Project, Elko County, Nevada. Four holes totalling 6,565 feet (2,001 meters) were drilled to target Carlin-type gold mineralization hypothesized to occur beneath Quaternary gravels and Tertiary volcanic rocks. The primary purpose of this drilling program was to determine if suitable Carlin-type host rocks occurred at reasonable depth in areas with gold and multi-element biogeochemical anomalies. A thorough evaluation of data from the drilling program has been completed.
The project no longer meets the objectives of the Company and it has been returned to the property vendors.
Austin Gold Corp. is fully funded for all planned exploration programs. Austin continues to review other projects that may have exceptional discovery potential for economic gold/silver deposits.
Robert M. Hatch, the Qualified Person for Austin Gold as defined by National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, has approved the scientific and technical information in this news release.
