Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 24, 2024) - Golden Spike Resources Corp. (CSE: GLDS) (OTCQB: GSPRF) (FSE: L5Y) ("Golden Spike" or the "Company") is pleased to announce mobilization of diamond drill equipment and crews has started for the upcoming program at the Gregory River copper-gold property in western Newfoundland ("the Property").
As announced on October 17, the program is expected to include approximately 14 holes (3,000 m), split between the Steep Brook, Lode 9 and Vein Zone Targets. The drill holes will test selected First Priority IP targets that have strong support from other layers of exploration data, including geological interpretations, geochemical information, historical drilling, and airborne magnetic data. All required permits are in place and a team has prepared several drill platforms in advance at the Steep Brook target.
Highlights:
- Approximately 14 diamond drill holes, totaling 3,000 and targeting high priority targets at Steep Brook, Lode 9 and the Vein Zone.
- Previous IP survey has identified multiple, high-priority chargeability and resistivity anomalies at all three targets.
- Drilling to commence at the Steep Brook Cu-Au VMS target.
Golden Spike's President and CEO, Keith Anderson, commented: "We are thrilled to have reached this important milestone for the Company with the start of our inaugural drill campaign at our Gregory River Project. Having just received our IP results and incorporating this with all of our other exploration data, our team has generated numerous high-priority drill targets for VMS and vein-style copper and gold mineralization. Most of our drill targets have never seen any previous drilling and it will be exciting as we start to see the initial core being returned from the holes. We look forward to updating our shareholders with drilling results as they become available over the coming weeks. I would like to thank all of the team that worked so hard to get the Company to this drilling stage and I wish all our staff and contractors a safe and successful drilling program."
