GGM - Update on Granada Gold Mine On-Site Sampling Plant
(TheNewswire)
Rouyn Noranda, Q.C. – TheNewswire - January 9, 2025 - GranadaGold Mine Inc. (TSXV: GGM) (OTC: GBBFF) (Frankfurt: B6D) (the"Company" or "Granada") is pleased to provide anupdate on the progress of an on-site sampling plant. The potentialinstallation of an on-site sampling plant is to further confirm thenear-surface open pit resource from the two 500-tonne bulk samplesrecently taken which correlates well with historic open pit miningresults of 3.5 to 5 grams per tonne gold. The current open pitresource of 2 grams per tonne (Please see July 6, 2022 newsrelease ) andwas calculated by cutting all the high-grade sample assays due tofifty percent of the gold being in native form which lends to highergold assays. The on-site sampling plant would further confirm the truegrade of the open pit resource.
Bulk Sampling PlantHighlights:
Two products will be produced, a high-grade native goldgravity concentrate and a high-grade sulfide gold concentrate. Sandby-product would be sold as aggregate.
No chemicals will be used in the sampling plant. Anywater usage will be closed-loop and recycled.
Sampling plant daily average capacity would be rated at550 tonnes per day.
Contractor Operator:
The Company has reviewed local mining contractors andproject management companies for the mining and primary crushing.Final processing and gold bullion doré bar pours and gold sulfideconcentrate to be done by third parties. The Company envisionsminimal capital expenditures for equipment and infrastructurerequirements.

Mineral Resource Estimate
On August 22, 2022 the Company filed an updated NI43-101 technical report supporting the resource estimate update forthe Granada Gold project (Please see July 6, 2022 newsrelease ) reporting that the Granadadeposit contains an updated mineral resource, at a base case cut-offgrade of 0.55 g/t Au for pit constrained mineral resources within aconceptual pit shell and at a base case cut-off grade of 2.5 g/t forunderground mineral resources within reasonably mineablevolumes, of 543,000 ounces of gold (8,220,000 tonnes at an averagegrade of 2.05 g/t Au) in the Measured and Indicated category, and456,000 ounces of gold (3,010,000 tonnes at an average grade of 4.71g/t Au) in the Inferred category.

The Company owns 14.73square kilometers of land in a combination of mining leases andclaims. The Company is currently undergoing a large drill program with 20,000m out of 120,000m complete.The drills are currently paused to provide the technical team with thenecessary time to evaluate, assimilate existing data and wait forimproved market conditions.
The Granada Shear Zone and the South Shear Zonecontain, based on historical detailed mapping as well as from currentand historical drilling, up to twenty-two mineralized structurestrending east-west over five and a half kilometers. Three of thesestructures were mined historically from four shafts and three openpits. Historical underground grades were 8 to 10 grams per tonne goldfrom two shafts down to 236 m and 498 m with open pit grades from 3.5to 5 grams per tonne gold.
The property includes the former Granada Goldunderground mine which produced more than 50,000 ounces of gold at 10grams per tonne gold in the 1930’s from two shafts before a firedestroyed the surface buildings. In the 1990s, Granada Resourcesextracted a bulk sample (Pit #1) of 87,311 tonnes grading 5.17 g/t Au. They also extracted a bulk sample (Pit # 2) of 22,095 tonnes grading3.46 g/t Au.
