Drilling was highlighted by a hole which cut a true width of 7.7 metres grading 26.5 grams gold per tonne in the VC3 zone (the grade is 19.35 grams when cut to 34.28 grams).
Thirteen metres farther down-hole, a 5.3-metre (true width) interval graded 2.75 grams gold per tonne, and this correlates with the VC2 zone. Ten metres later, the hole cut 3.8 metres (true width) of 2.95 grams gold, corresponding with the VC1 zone.
The latest test of the VC3 zone comprised six holes fanned 15-20 from one another from the same setup on the 520-metre level of the past-producing mine. All holes cut the VC3 zone and continued into the VC2 zone, and three of the six cut VC1.
Five of the holes through the VC3 zone cut 1-14 metres grading 3-8 grams gold per tonne. VC2 was intersected over true widths of 3.3-8.5 metres and graded 1.4-3.1 grams gold. VC1 had a true width of 2.8-3.8 metres, with grades of 1.9-4.1 grams gold per tonne.
The VC zone was tested over a 60-metre strike length. It is open to the west and is thinning to the east. These holes are the most easterly to date. At least one more section will be drilled farther east.
Drilling is ongoing.
