New results from the drill program at the Detour Lake gold project in northeastern Ontario show mineralization continuing between two proposed open pits and new mineralization within one of the pits.
Detour Gold (DGC-T) has now finished the first, 50,000-metre phase of its exploration program on the project. The new holes tested previously undrilled parts of the West Pit and targets along the Sunday Lake shear, in the area now known as the Gap Zone.
Drill holes in the proposed West Pit, where an indicated resource of 20 million tonnes grading 2.1 grams gold per tonne, and an inferred resource of 31 million tonnes grading 1.8 grams has already been defined, mainly intersected intervals of 5 metres to 15 metres, but with a large number of wider intersections. Among the better results were a 44.9-metre intersection running 2.2 grams gold per tonne and a 29-metre intersection grading 3 grams per tonne.
Along the Gap Zone, running between the West Pit and another proposed pit on the Calcite Zone, mineralized intervals were mostly 5 to 7 metres in core length, with gold grades typically between 1 and 2 grams per tonne. Wider and higher-grade intersections included a 23-metre interval grading 2 grams per tonne and a 19-metre interval grading 5.6 grams.
