The program, comprising 992.38 metres in nine holes, provided infill drilling within, and confirmed the potential for northwest strike extensions to, the
Drill Program Highlights
Broad intervals of gold-bearing mineralization and alteration were intersected in all holes completed, with peak values of 0.847 g/t Au over 152.44 metres including 3.665 g/t Au over 16.77 metres found within hole 7.
The gold bearing intervals within holes 1 and 2 provide confirmation that the
Holes 3 (240-degree Azimuth) and 7 (180-degree Azimuth) were drilled from the same pad and at the same -45-degree dip. The overall higher gold values found within hole 7 may be attributed to the presence of narrow gold bearing shears trending approximately 240-degree Azimuth which would be intersected by hole 7 but which trend parallel to hole 3 and were therefore likely missed.
The program tested an approximate 350 metre strike length of the
True widths of the reported intervals are unknown.
Holes QCM21-3, 4, 5 and 7 bottomed in 1.52 metre intervals grading 0.13 g/t Au, 0.38 g/t Au, 0.56 g/t Au and 1.02 g/t Au respectively.
Due to poor ground conditions, holes QCM21-1, 3, 5, 6 and 8 were terminated before their planned target depth of approximately 160 metres.
Due to the project's location within an active placer gold mining district, and historical reports of coarse visible gold within the
Limited amounts of trace elements are found within the
