Drilling by Aquila Resources (AQA-V) at the Back Forty project in Menominee Cty., Michigan, has intersected gold and base-metal sulphide mineralization on an extension to the known East Zone.
The new intersections are 25 metres west of holes drilled in the summer and cut gold mineralization in gossan material overlying fresh massive and semi-massive sulphides.
One hole intersected 55.5 metres grading 0.58% copper, 4.2 grams gold and 11.9 grams silver per tonne, plus trace lead and zinc, underlying a gossan zone of 3.6 metres grading 6.2 grams gold and 7.3 grams silver per tonne. Another cut 57 metres of massive sulphide with 0.39% copper, 2.2 grams gold and 9.7 grams silver per tonne, beneath a 3.1-metre gossan zone that ran 37 grams gold and 6.4 grams silver per tonne.
The third hole intersected 3.4 metres of gossan grading 9.3 grams gold per tonne, which was underlain by 40.5 metres of sulphides grading 8.17% zinc, 0.24% copper and 0.2% lead, with 1.7 grams gold and 22.2 grams silver per tonne.
Results from other holes are pending.
