Westhaven Gold (WHN) has completed drilling at its 2,784-hectare 100 per cent-owned Skoonka Creek gold property.
Skoonka is located within the prospective Spences Bridge Gold Belt (SBGB). Westhaven has completed a total of 16 holes for 3,340 metres of drilling (assays pending) at the Skoonka property.
JJ-Zone
The company focused the bulk of the drilling on JJ Zone with a view to testing two styles of mineralization. A higher-grade east-northeast trending zone of epithermal quartz veining and a gold-bearing argillized tuff horizon lying in the vein zone footwall.
2022 drilling intersected the JJ Vein Zone over a strike length of 440m with a series of twelve holes spaced 25 to 185m apart. Two of these holes also targeted the deeper tuff-hosted footwall mineralization. The current and previous drilling has now defined the vein zone over a strike length of 590m and a dip length of up to 240m from surface.
JJ-West
The company completed 3 drill holes at the JJ-West exploration target. These holes are following up on targets generated by early fieldwork performed by Westhaven in 2017. Earlier works identified a magnetic low with coincident high-level geochemical pathfinders, including mercury, on-trend with the JJ vein zone.
All three holes intersected quartz veining, which is now interpreted to be the southwestern continuation of the JJ zone.
Westhaven is a gold-focused exploration company. The company’s properties include the Shovelnose gold property, Prospect valley gold property, Skoonka creek property and Skoonka north gold property.
Westhaven Gold Corp. (WHN) is up 1.30 per cent, trading at C$0.39 per share at 3:10 pm ET.
