The latest drilling targeted the F17, F11 and F51 zones.
Drilling at F17 was highlighted by hole 20, which cut 10.5 grams gold per tonne over 11 metres at a down-hole depth of 29 metres.
Hole 21, drilled eight metres north and four metres west of hole 20, cut an upper zone at 13 metres down-hole, which graded 10 grams gold over 4 metres, and a lower zone at 79 metres, which graded 9.3 grams over 11 metres.
Hole 48, drilled near hole 20 (but in the opposite direction), graded 8.84 grams gold over 11 metres at 16 metres down-hole. This intercept included a 1-metre interval of 97.8 grams gold per tonne.
Three holes hit grades as high as 17-59 grams gold over 1-3 metres.
Four other holes cut 0.91-3.4 grams gold over 15-45 metres starting at 55 metres down-hole. These intercepts contained narrower intervals of higher-grade gold, such as hole 52, which intersected up to 7.24 grams over 9 metres at a down-hole depth of 60 metres.
Of the 11 other holes, seven cut 1.2-4 grams gold over widths of 1-4 metres, and four failed to cut significant values.
To date, 21 holes (with a combined total core length of 2,560 metres) have tested the zone.
The F17 zone was intersected over a strike length of at least 300 metres. Gold is hosted by stacked, sub-horizontal, quartz-tourmaline-sericite veins or lenses associated with a northeast-trending, sub-vertical shear, which bears gold locally.
Gold is associated with pyrite in the veins.
The F11 zone is 400 metres northwest of F17 and runs parallel to it. To date, 1,385 metres of drilling in 10 holes have tested this zone, which is underlain by a 500-metre-long geophysical anomaly.
Drilling was highlighted by a hole that cut 12 grams gold over 17 metres at a down-hole depth of 69 metres.
The first hole to be drilled cut 3.5 metres grading 8.3 grams gold per tonne.
Each of two other holes intersected 3 metres grading 8.18 and 3.35 grams gold. Five holes cut 1-to-18-metre intervals grading 0.53-3.35 grams gold.
One hole failed to cut significant mineralization.
F11 is hosted by highly altered, chloritized, rhyolite with local garnet alteration, cut by minor quartz veining. Gold is associated with pyrite and magnetite in a northeast-trending horizon that dips steeply to the north.
Twelve holes (2,000 metres) have tested the F51 zone, which is 600 metres northeast along strike of F17.
Drilling in this area was highlighted by hole 16, which hit 3 metres grading 8 grams gold.
Two holes cut wide intervals of mineralization: one of these intersected 13 metres grading 2.44 grams gold, including 7.5 metres of 3.9 grams gold; the other returned 6 metres of 3.3 grams gold.
Two holes cut 2-metre intervals grading 8.61 grams gold and 4.5 grams gold starting at down-hole depths of 58-59 metres. Two other holes intersected 0.5-2 metres grading 1.35-2.1 grams gold. Four holes failed to cut significant mineralization.
F51 was intersected over a strike length of 100 metres. Gold is hosted by quartz-tourmaline veins in a shear zone.
Three reconnaissance holes were drilled on the Golden grid but failed to hit significant gold.
Murgor is carrying out a scoping study, and continues drilling.
