A ten-hole drilling program at the Dixie gold prospect, 25 km south of Red Lake, Ont., has returned mineralized intersections in all the holes that were drilled.
Joint-venture partners Fronteer Development Group (FRG-T) and Alberta Star Development (ASX-V) reported several wide drill intersections including a 4.7-metre interval grading 8.1 grams gold per tonne in hole DL03-08, and 8.3 metres grading 2 grams per tonne in hole DL03-01.
Hole DL03-06 encountered two gold zones, a 17-metre interval grading 2.9 grams per tonne and a separate 4.3-metre interval that ran 5.8 grams per tonne. A fourth hole, DL03-05, graded 1.8 grams gold per tonne over 21 metres.
Holes 5, 6, and 8 were drilled to intersect the down-dip extension of mineralization drilled in 1989 by Teck Corp., now Teck Cominco (TEK-T). The holes intersected that zone at depths of 110, 65, and 245 metres, respectively.
Another round of drilling is scheduled to start soon to test the same zones at depths of around 600 metres.
Alberta Star is earning a 50% interest from Fronteer on the property, by spending $2 million on exploration by September 2006.
