Vancouver — Junior Sultan Minerals (SUL-V) is at the early stages of outlining a promising high-tonnage, low-grade gold porphyry system on the Kena property near Nelson, B.C.
The system lies in one of the most environmentally friendly regions of British Columbia.
Collared 50 metres south of the first three holes, hole 6 cut 124 metres grading 0.62 gram gold per tonne. Included in this broad zone were several higher-grade sections, including the final 2 metres of the hole, which ran 9.1 grams gold from 130 metres down-hole.
Hole 5, which was the first hole of the second round of drilling, was collared 50 metres west of the initial holes and returned 134 metres grading 1.1 grams gold.
Moving 300 metres south, hole 7 has been completed and assay results are pending.
The first four holes tested a 120-metre portion of a 2.1-km-by-900-metre gold-in-soil anomaly which marks the Gold Mountain anomaly.
Holes 1 through 3 were collared from the same drill pad and returned up to 106 metres grading 1.16 grams gold.
Moving 120 metres to the east, hole 4 hit 58 metres grading 1.21 grams gold from 28 metres down-hole, including a 2-metre section that ran 16.3 grams gold. However, the structures hit were running up the core axis, suggesting that the hole was drilled in the downdip direction of the mineralization.
The junior has now completed the second-round, 500-metre drill program. It was aimed at extending the mineralization along strike by up to 300 metres. To date, a 160-by-300-metre area has been drill-tested.
