The latest results — from two new holes, and seven others extended by about 150 metres each — targeted a newly identified pyrite- and gold-mineralized porphyry.
Highlights include a 6.6-metre intersection grading 4.61 grams gold per tonne.
Among the extended holes, one intersected 8 metres grading 3.3 grams gold, including 4.3 metres grading 4.87 grams gold. Three others intersected grades of 1-4.22 grams gold over widths of 1-13.5 metres. The highest intercept was 5.37 grams gold over 1.7 metres. One of the two new holes failed to intersect significant gold. Two holes contained intercepts grading less than 0.65 gram gold.
The Sand Hill porphyry, intersected in these holes, strikes west and dips steeply north. The porphyry has been intersected locally along a 300-metre strike length and to a vertical depth of about 400 metres. The holes that were extended were originally drilled in 1997 to intersect the Golden River West zone, about 100 metres north of Sand Hill.
Gold is associated with pyrite-arsenopyrite mineralization in altered quartz feldspar porphyry.
