Vancouver -
The exploration program will be designed to expand on the Buck Main epithermal gold discovery which remains open in all directions and at depth.
Highlights
Crews are mobilizing: One drill rig is currently on site and the crew has commenced mobilization.
Expanded program will test new targets: The first drillholes will build on the significant results from previous programs focused on testing new targets within
Property-wide geophysical survey: Plans are underway to commence a property-wide VTEM geophysical survey, which will help define additional targets on the property, some of which could be coincidental with recently discovered geochemical anomalies.
'We are very eager to get the drill rig turning again,'
Drill Program
The upcoming drilling is designed to follow-up the 10,327 metre drill program, which targeted high-grade and bulk tonnage-style gold mineralization at Buck Main. From that program, a total of eight holes have been released including significant intercepts of high-grade gold mineralization (e.g., 11.4 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 3.0 metres including 31.3 g/t gold over 1.0 metres; BK21-035) and continuous bulk tonnage-style gold mineralization (e.g., 0.68 g/t gold over 175.3 metres including 1.16 g/t gold over 53.8 metres; BK21-038). Additional assay results will be released shortly as they are received and analyzed.
After pausing the drill program at the end of 2021 to receive assays, the Company is now ramping-up activities to investigate previously untested targets, as well as test an emerging broad zone of breccia-hosted sulfide mineralization identified in the last drill program. The drill program could increase in scope to be substantially larger than the program just completed.
