VANCOUVER, BC , March 25, 2024 /CNW/ - P2 Gold Inc. ("P2" or the "Company") (TSXV: PGLD) (OTCQB: PGLDF) provides an update on its wholly-owned gold-copper Gabbs Project located on the Walker-Lane Trend in Nevada and confirms the terms of the finder's fee for its convertible debenture unit offering

Gabbs Project Preliminary Economic Assessment

The Company is re-evaluating the preliminary economic assessment ("PEA") on the Gabbs Project, with a new PEA expected to be completed in the second quarter of this year.  In re-evaluating the PEA, the Company is assessing the benefits of incorporating the lower grade mineralized material above the cutoff grade for heap leach and mill mineralized material that was not included in the September 2023 PEA.  The 2024 PEA is expected to comprise a heap leach operation and a mill operation starting up after the initial heap leach capital is repaid, with the heap leach and mill operating in tandem for the remainder of the mine life.

"Now that the outstanding project debt has been settled, we can focus on unlocking Gabbs' potential by continuing to advance the project through feasibility," commented Joe Ovsenek , President and CEO of P2. "Existing infrastructure at Gabbs includes paved access, power on the property and historically permitted water wells.  The known zones of gold-copper mineralization at Gabbs outcrop at surface and remain open in multiple directions, and the property remains highly prospective for the discovery of new zones of mineralization.  We look forward to announcing the results of the 2024 PEA."
