BLACK TUSK RESOURCES COMMENCES 2500 METER DIAMOND DRILL PROGRAM ON THE MCKENZIE EAST GOLD PROJECT, QUEBEC
Diamond drilling is under way on Black Tusk Resources Inc.'s McKenzie East gold property located north of Val d'Or, Que. Drilling on target one has begun with first drill core expected to be delivered at the processing facility within the week.
Black Tusk has signed a contract with Forage Val d'Or for 2,500 metres of drilling on the McKenzie East gold project. Forage Val d'Or is a locally based contractor with knowledge and experience of drilling within the region.
Drill targets, which have been summarized in prior news releases, include a combination of results obtained from soil sampling, magnetic surveying, IP (induced polarization) surveying and geological reconnaissance.
A total of nine drill pads have now been prepared to allow for alternative site selection as drilling progresses. Five primary targets were identified for initial drilling, with drill hole 1 testing target area 1. Drill hole 1 is estimated to test down to 500 metres in depth on the target.
The Black Tusk winter 2021 diamond drilling program is supervised by VD Geo Service based in Val d'Or, including Black Tusk company director Dr. Mathieu Piche. Core logging and sampling will be undertaken at a private facility, located adjacent to the property.
