VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 3, 2023 / Sassy Gold Corp. ("Sassy" or the "Company") (CSE:SASY)(FSE:4E7)(OTCQB:SSYRF) continues to expand the 4Amigos Vein along strike and to depth and has drilled into a new high-grade vein parallel to 4Amigos at the Company's Westmore Gold Discovery, part of its 100%-owned Foremore Project in Northwest British Columbia's prolific Eskay Camp, 45 km northeast of the Eskay Creek mine.
Drilling Highlights:
Mr. Mark Scott, Sassy President and CEO, commented: "The Westmore discovery is in its early stages and continues to impress our geological team. Extensive surface mineralization has now been traced to a depth of nearly 500 meters in drill core after a successful program in 2022, with over two dozen veins now identified, yet the source of this mineralization remains unknown."
Mark Scott concluded: "As our understanding of this Eskay Camp system evolves through continued drilling, we would expect to see wider intercepts and high grades typical of other deposits in this prolific district. Just a few years ago, Westmore was an unknown target without a single drill hole into it. The systematic process we have followed over three short Eskay field seasons is how important discoveries are made in this region."
Westmore Discovery Highlights:
Sassy continues to map and interpret the vein corridors recognized at the Westmore intrusive. The corridors highlighted in this news release (Herve, 4Amigos and South Cliff) are all open along strike and to depth. It is also important to note that exploration; prospecting and drilling at Westmore has thus far been focused in areas of maximum exposure. The eastern half of the intrusive remains very underexplored and drilling does suggest the intrusive and the vein corridors continue underneath the More Creek Glacier to the south and most likely to the east.

Westmore Drilling 2020-2022
Sassy at PDAC - Booth #3246
Sassy Gold looks forward to meeting investors at PDAC 2023, the world's premier mineral exploration and mining convention, in Toronto from Sunday, March 5 through Wednesday, March 8.
Visit us at Booth #3246.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control
Sassy implemented an industry-standard QA/QC program for all field samples and drill core samples collected during its 2022 exploration program. The company inserted QC blanks and standards at pre-determined intervals. Drill core samples were cut in half by rock saw. Half of the core remained in the labeled interval in the core box, the other half was placed in clear plastic sample bags together with pre-numbered sample tags and remained on site until transportation to the lab. Samples were transported and submitted directly by Company personnel to the ALS prep lab at Terrace, B.C., when there was capacity. Some shipments went directly to ALS facilities in Kamloops and North Vancouver. Initially, all rock and drill core samples were crushed to 70% passing 2mm, split to 500g, and pulverized to a pulp with 85% passing 75 micrometres. The pulps were then shipped/processed at ALS facilities in Kamloops and Vancouver where they were fire assayed for gold by 50g fire assay with atomic absorption finish (AAS), 48 elements by multi-element ICP-MS, 4-acid digestion. Over-limit analyses for Ag, Cu, Pb, Zn were performed utilizing the Ore Grade, 4-Acid, ICP-AES procedure. ALS is an accredited lab independent of Sassy Gold.
