Drilling at the Polaris-Taku property in northwestern British Columbia is confirming the discovery of a new zone of gold mineralization.
Owner Canarc Resources (TSE) drilled 14 surface holes from seven collar locations, intersecting altered and mineralized shear veins ranging from 5 to 55 ft. in width over a strike extent of 1,200 ft. Six of the 14 holes exceeded a cutoff grade of 0.2 oz. per ton.
The company believes the new North zone may be the faulted northerly extension of the Polaris-Taku’s past-producing veins (which yielded 231,000 oz.) and its current resource, estimated at 1.03 million oz. The company is updating this resource estimate, and a new exploration and development plan is near completion.
Drill results from the North zone are as follows:
