Recent drilling on the Dorothy Lake gold prospect, 50 miles west of Pickle Lake, Ont., has yielded an encouraging high-grade gold value for owner Major General Resources (VSE). The Vancouver-based company has intersected a new visible gold- bearing horizon which assayed 13.8 oz. per ton over a width of 1.6 ft. in hole 43. The result came from deep drilling below a previously defined zone where preliminary reserves are estimated at around 284,000 tons grading 0.18 oz.
Other significant results from the recent drill program include 0.20 oz. over 3.3 ft. in hole 46 and 0.19 oz. over 5 ft. in hole 49. All seven holes in the recent 7,000-ft. program were designed to test for extensions below the 500-ft. horizon of the known gold zone outlined by previous owner Umex Inc. Major General’s program tested an 1,800- ft. long section with widely spaced holes at 300-ft. intervals, and about 300 ft. below the previous intersections.
Elsewhere on the property, detailed linecutting and geophysical surveys totalling 19 miles have been completed in the southeastern area of the claims, about half a mile from Bond International Gold’s (TSE) new Tonsil Lake gold discovery.
The Dorothy Lake property is situated along the same volcanic belt of rocks which hosts Bond Gold’s Golden Patricia mine, 9 miles to the southeast.
