Enduro Metals Corporation announced that it has commenced its fully-funded 2022 exploration program at its Newmont Lake Project in British Columbia's Golden Triangle. The primary objective of the 2022 exploration program will be to expand the mineralised footprint of the alkalic porphyry system discovered at Burgundy Ridge during 2021. The secondary objective will be to follow up on the geochemical sampling program at McLymont Fault and extend the potential mineralised footprint from 700m to 5,500m.

A two-rig diamond drill program has commenced to test the extent of copper and gold mineralization along a 1,200m strike length. Multiple drill locations are currently being prepared, with the first drill rig having commenced operations, and a second rig due to start imminently. The program has been designed to zone in on the centre of the porphyry system which is believed to lie to the north east of the discovery hole and test approximately 1,200m of the 2,700m system.

Drilling is designed to test mineralization significantly deeper than previously drilled at Burgundy Ridge, given porphyries form as vertically oriented deposits up to kilometres in vertical and horizontal scale. At the McLymont Fault project, a detailed exploration program is being finalized to follow up on 2021's geochemical soil sampling program. It is currently expected that one of the two rigs currently drilling at Burgundy Ridge will move to test the newly identified zone and follow up on drill hole GSC88-1 drilled in 1988 which interested 73.40g/t Au, 12.5g/t Ag and 0.13% Cu over 0.60m.

If successful, this would increase the footprint of the McLymont Fault mineralised system to 5,500m, comparable to the very large bulk-tonnage style gold deposits neighbouring the Newmont Lake Property (ex. KSM, Treaty Creek).
