“We are thrilled at the results from our first drill program at Alcona. Early possible indications of a large-tonnage low-grade deposit are present. The Alcona Area contains high deposit potential with year-round access and proximity to infrastructure, an ideal phase two winter program candidate.
Holes 7, 8 and 17 are pending assays. We are very excited about holes 7 & 8 as they’ve shown very encouraging mineralization, so much so, we added a step back hole from hole 7 (hole 17) to the drill program and they both also hit unexpected mineralization near surface, widening the corridor.
Phase two planning has been initiated and will be communicated to the market once we have received all assays from this area.
Overall, a fantastic start to our drilling program. We look forward to communicating additional results in the near future on Alcona, New Millennium (never drilled) and Moretti target areas.” Peter Schloo, President, CEO and Director.
“I am encouraged by the number of high-grade intersections and anomalous gold mineralization between them.
The Alcona area has potential to host a high tonnage low grade gold deposit. More drilling is required to substantiate our geological modeling on this target.” Mitch Lavery P. Geo, Strategic Advisor and QP to the Company.
Alcona Area:
Mineralized deformation corridor over 1,000 m (up to 200 m wide) consisting of multiple discrete
zones of deformed volcanic rocks and shear parallel quartz veins.
