SILVER QUEST RESOURCES LTD.: DRILLING ON DAVIDSON PROJECT EXPANDS NEW GOLD ZONE
Silver Quest Resources Ltd. has provided significant drill results from the company's recently completed diamond drilling program at its 100-per-cent-owned Davidson project in central British Columbia. The primary focus of the program was to follow-up drill hole DAV-05-02 (see news in Stockwatch on Nov. 3, 2005), which encountered a new zone of disseminated gold mineralization on the Davidson project.
Partial results from hole DAV-06-06 include:
Drill
depth Int. Au Ag Cu
m m g/t g/t %
67.0-75.0 8.0 10.70 42.8 0.12
The estimated true width of this intercept is six metres.
Within the eight-metre interval reported above, a high-grade interval includes:
Drill
depth Int. Au Ag Cu
m m g/t g/t %
67.0-69.0 2.0 35.35 153.0 0.38
The estimated true width of this intercept is 1.5 metres. This interval initially returned 35.90 grams per tonne (g/t) Au and 152.0 g/t Ag, with a check assay of 34.80 g/t Au and 154.0 g/t Ag.
The above intervals are within a larger mineralized zone of:
Drill
depth Int. Au Ag Cu
m m g/t g/t %
49.0-75.0 26.0 3.98 19.0 0.10
The estimated true width of this intercept is 19.5 metres.
Hole DAV-06-06 was collared approximately 70 metres southwest of drill hole DAV-05-02 and was drilled at an inclination of minus 55 degrees, to a total depth of 157 metres. To date, assay results have been received to a depth of 119.0 metres. Based on a preliminary interpretation of the results of DAV-05-02 and DAV-06-06, the new zone of disseminated gold-silver mineralization dips steeply to the north and is hosted in lapilli tuffs, breccias and flows. As announced in Stockwatch on Nov. 3, 2005, hole DAV-05-02 intersected, from 136.0 to 148.0 metres depth, 4.93 g/t Au and 17.1 g/t Ag over 14.00 metres, within a larger zone from 96.0 to 160.0 m, 1.80 g/t Au and 6.5 g/t Ag, over 64.0 metres.
The Davidson project is located approximately 100 kilometres southwest of Vanderhoof in central British Columbia and approximately 450 kilometres north of Vancouver. As planned, two holes have now been completed (DAV-06-06 and DAV-06-07). Assay results are pending on hole DAV-06-07 and on the remaining portion (from 119 metres to 157 metres) of DAV-06-06. A follow-up drill program is currently being planned. Details of additional programs will be announced as they become available.
The primary assays were performed by Eco Tech Laboratory in Kamloops and further check assays will be submitted to Acme Analytical Laboratories in Vancouver. Falcon Drilling Ltd. of Prince George is the drill contractor on both projects.
