G1 getting bigger At G1 zone, three vertical 50 metre step-out holes have now been completed to the southeast. These have encountered extensions of the semimassive carbonate replacement copper-magnetite typical of the main zone, but with additional lower-grade intervals starting higher up in the holes and extending downwards for more than 100 metres true width. Marker horizons within the subhorizontal host strata appear to deepen toward the southeast towards DDH 18-42, where 58 metres grading 0.47 per cent copper included narrow semimassive intervals within porphyry-style alteration containing disseminated chalcopyrite. Assays are pending for all three holes.
"Drilling at G1 this fall has demonstrated the potential to extend the zone in all directions," said Engold president and chief executive officer David Brett. "Several other geophysical (magnetic and gravity) anomalies within our 10 kilometre mineralized corridor are very similar to those at G1 and remain completely untested."
