Band-Ore tests Thorne anomalies

Drilling by Band-Ore Resources (BAN-T) has returned more anomalous values from the Thorne gold project near Timmins, Ont.

The Burlington-based junior recently sank 12 holes to follow up on an earlier campaign. Holes in both programs were collared near the Golden River project, which consists of two zones with a combined inferred resource of 4 million tonnes grading 3 grams gold per tonne.

Holes 1 to 6 were collared southeast and north of the Golden River zones to test geophysical and geological targets. The best result was 0.77 gram gold per tonne over 6.6 metres of altered sediments and felsic intrusive porphyry.

About 2 km south of Golden River West, holes 7 and 8 cut through as much as 1.5 metres of altered felsic intrusive porphyry averaging 0.44 gram gold per tonne. The results are similar to discovery hole 1, which was drilled earlier this year and averaged 0.5 gram gold over 5.4 metres.

About 1 km south of Golden River East, holes 9, 10 and 12 also returned anomalous results, though mineralization in these holes is associated with a zone of sericite-fuchsite-quartz-carbonate alteration. Hole 11 was collared farther south and returned even lower values.

Band-Ore plans to drill an additional 3,000 metres to test other targets in the area.
