Beauce Gold Fields announced it has tested the use of a modified horizontal directional drilling method to drill lengths of the auriferous till units of the paleoplacer channel on the Beauce Gold property located in St-Simon les Mine, Quebec. From one location, four fanned-out HDD boreholes were completed, totaling 321 meters in the auriferous till (Basal Till) and saprolite layers. Hole, Horizontal Length, Direction Azimuth, Aprox.

Five Advantages of Horizontal directional drilling. If successful, using directional horizontal drilling to explore and drill the paleoplacer channel on The Companies placer gold properties will offer many advantages: 1. Enhanced Exploration: Directional horizontal drilling allows for targeted exploration of specific areas of interest within the paleoplacer channel.

By drilling at angles or curves, geologists can access hard-to-reach or hidden gold-bearing zones that traditional vertical drilling might miss. Increased Coverage: Directional drilling enables extensive coverage of the paleoplacer channel with fewer drill holes. This efficiency can significantly reduce drilling costs.

Improved Sampling: Horizontal drilling allows for better sampling along the length of the paleoplacer channel. 5. Resource Estimation: The data collected from directional horizontal drilling can be used to estimate the size, shape, and continuity of the gold deposit within the paleoplacer channel more precisely. This information is critical for determining the economic viability of the deposit and planning future mining operations.
