TORONTO, Feb. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — G2 Goldfields Inc. (“G2” or the “Company”) (TSX: GTWO; OTCQX: GUYGF) is pleased to announce it has entered into definitive agreements to acquire two highly prospective property packages in Region 7, Guyana. The alliances further expand and compliment the Company’s already extensive regional targets. The Oko-Aremu area hosts world class gold resources, with a total resource exceeding 7.8 million ounces. G2 expects to publish an updated mineral resource estimate (MRE) in the coming weeks, whilst continuing to aggressively drill the corridors of high grade mineralization extending to the north.
‘Property A’ (5,457 acres) is adjacent to G2’s current holdings in the OKO-AREMU district. The properties include 4 km of strike length of a prominent North to North-east trending corridor along the contact of the Bartica Batholith and strongly deformed greenstone volcanics and sediments. The geological setting is similar to that which hosts G2’s OMZ and Ghanie gold zones located approximately 10km to the south along the same contact zone. The Property has never been subject to modern exploration techniques.
‘Property’ B (20,739 acres) contains at least a 6 km strike length of a very large-scale shear zone that is interpreted to be on the margin of a lower volcanic sequence and upper sedimentary basin – an ideal geological setting for the discovery of large gold deposits. A significant amount of angular gold nuggets and chips have been, and continue to be, produced from surface workings by the property vendor. Significantly, these nuggets and chips occur within first order creeks adjacent to the interpreted shear zone. Additionally, a quartz vein outcrop with visible gold occurs on the western extent of this very extensive property. G2 is currently mobilizing significant resources into the district which has never been subject to modern exploration techniques.
Patrick Sheridan, G2 Executive Chairman, stated, “G2 continues to execute on its highly successful regional strategy of partnering with local mining entities to explore, define, and develop the region’s significant gold resources. We are 100% focussed on Guyana, discovering, and developing gold resources for the benefit of the Guyanese people and shareholders of G2. Leveraging over 30 years of experience in country, we believe strongly in structuring win-win partnerships designed to unlock the tremendous prospectivity of Guyana’s historical gold districts.”
Mr. Sheridan further stated, “We will be announcing additional partnerships in the near future, further establishing our dominant position in the region. G2 remains an exciting growth story with multiple drill programs currently being conducted across the district. We are laser focused on the development of the Guyanese gold mining industry.”

In April 2024, G2 announced an Updated Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) for the Oko property in Guyana [see press release dated April 03, 2024]. Highlights of the Updated MRE include:
Total combined open pit and underground Resource for the Oko Main Zone (OMZ):
- 495,000 oz. Au – Inferred contained within 2,413,000 tonnes @ 6.38 g/t Au
- 686,000 oz. Au – Indicated contained within 2,368,000 tonnes @ 9.03 g/t Au
Total combined open pit and underground Resource for the Ghanie Zone:
- 604,000 oz. Au – Inferred contained within 12,216,000 tonnes @ 1.54 g/t Au
- 236,000 oz. Au – Indicated contained within 3,344,000 tonnes @ 2.20 g/t Au
The MRE was prepared by Micon International Limited with an effective date of March 27, 2024. Significantly, the updated mineral resources lie within 500 meters of surface. The Oko district has been a prolific alluvial goldfield since its initial discovery in the 1870s, and modern exploration techniques continue to reveal the considerable potential of the district.
