Drilling on the western edge of the Deli zone returned up to 39 metres (from a depth of 60 metres) grading 4.4 grams gold per tonne in hole 118, including a high-grade section of 8.4 metres averaging 12.4 grams gold.
The intercept would seem to indicate a high-grade feeder structure in the largely tabular and flat-lying zone.
Crews also intercepted 51 metres grading 1.1 grams gold, including 15 metres of 2.2 grams gold, in hole 114, and 46 metres of 1.2 grams gold, including 4.1 grams gold across 7 metres, in hole 116.
Agi Dagi (pronounced ah-dah) is a large, high-sulphidation epithermal system, which includes a mineralized silica cap measuring 4 by 2 km. Mineralization occurs along a northeast-southwest structural trend.
Results from the 8,000-metre drill program will be used to calculate a resource estimate.
