VANCOUVER, March 1, 2017 /CNW/ - Marlin Gold Mining Ltd. (TSX-V: MLN) ("Marlin" or the "Company") is pleased to report assay results from the first set of holes on the north side of the pit wall at the Company's wholly owned La Trinidad mine in Sinaloa, Mexico.
The results indicate that the HS Zone mineralization extends approximately 30 meters to the north beyond the current pit limit. A decision to proceed with a pit layback to extend the mine life further will be made after pending assays from this program are received.
The table below summarizes the drill results.
| Drill Hole | From (m) | To (m) | Length (m) | Au (g/t) |
| 16TRD26 | 34.00 | 40.50 | 6.50 | 2.59 |
| 16TRD27 | 8.00 | 17.40 | 9.40 | 3.27 |
| 16TRD28 | 19.80 | 30.00 | 10.20 | 2.68 |
| 16TRD29-33 | No significant intercepts | |||
| *Significant intersection defined as minimum gold assay of 0.3 g/t over minimum 6-meter interval with no more than 2 meters of internal dilution below 0.3 g/t. Drill hole intercepts are believed to be approximately the true thickness of the zone. |
The samples were assayed by Bureau Veritas Commodities Canada Ltd. (AcmeLabs and Inspectorate) in Vancouver.
