- Hope Bay – More than 46,000 metres of drilling have been completed year to date with seven drill rigs now operating at the Doris and Madrid deposits. Recent results at Doris confirm the potential to expand the deposit along strike to the north in the BTD Extension Zone and to the south in the Central and West Valley zones and demonstrate the potential for finding additional high grade fold-hinge structures below the historical zones with a recent intersection in the BTD Connector zone of 6.9 g/t gold over 32.2 metres at 495 metres depth
".....At Hope Bay, the drill results confirm the expansion of the Doris deposit at depth with wide high grade intercepts, well ahead of our expectations," said Ammar Al-Joundi, Agnico Eagle's President and Chief Executive Officer
I guess if the partner NAR is looking for is AE, the delay may be because they are waiting for these results. IDK. Perhaps someone who knows the property can comment on its relevance and how close NAR's drill sites are to these, here or post on CEO.CA.
