NFG's compilation of high grade drill results is staggering NFG has been using a mixture of targeted and systematic grid drilling. As mentioned in their latest news release, Jackpot was found from targeted drilling efforts. Systematic grid drilling has been responsible for finding some of the other zones. That being said, the concentration of gold at Queensway North along the Appleton is pretty staggering.
Some posters continue to claim that New Found Gold is using Blind drilling and/or Wildcat drilling to find most of their high grade targets. The reality is, finding gold at this speed, does it matter what method is being utilized to do so? The GGG would like to pose this question to the likes of RetiredGeo and others, who love to use the term Blind drilling. Could one not argue that if NFG is continuously producing staggering high grade gold intercepts using Blind/Wildcat drilling, that would seem to be even more impressive, right ?
Melissa Render, VP of Exploration of New Found, stated: “Our targeted drill program continues to successfully outline new zones of gold mineralization. Jackpot is the sixteenth near surface zone identified along a 4.1km stretch of Appleton North, starting at the south end of Keats and running up to Everest. Initial drilling at Jackpot is reminiscent of our early findings at Lotto, a structural zone associated with a strong presence of visible gold. Looking at Figure 2, Jackpot is located 280m east of the AFZ, demonstrating the distal strength of the AFZ. We have locked onto something new here and our ability to interpret and act quickly will allow us to rapidly assess this new and exciting target.”

GGG here. Could there be a hidden message in this video? Will 2023 be the year?
