Endurance Gold (EDG) reports additional assay results from the completed diamond drilling program on its Reliance Gold Property in British Columbia.
Two diamond drill holes were completed in the central part of Eagle Area, testing the Eagle South Feeder Zone.
The primary objectives of the 2022 drilling program are to extend the strike of the mineralized system and to test the extent of mineralized feeder structures associated with the shallow-dipping, near-surface Eagle Zone. In 2022, 38 diamond drill holes for 8,274 m and 33 reverse circulation holes for 2,455 m were completed.
Highlights of the drilling results include 7.31 grams per tonne (GPT) gold over 11.6 m with 11.66 gpt gold over 6.2 m from the target. Another hole was drilled at the same azimuth and shallower angle as previously reported intersecting 4.95 gpt gold over 12.1 m with 12.55 gpt gold over 4.3 m. Another drill hole revealed 2.87 gpt gold over 8.3 m and 2.70 gpt gold over 8.3 m from the contact zones of the Eagle South 37 vein.
From the same setup and different azimuth, drill hole DDH22-046 intersected three mineralized zones, including; 5.03 gpt gold over 3.0 m associated with the 20 Target, 2.97 gpt gold over 2.6 m from the 24 vein, and 2.26 gpt gold over 4.0 m from a mineralized fault zone.
As reported in August, drilling within the Eagle South Feeder Zone has identified multiple quartz vein zones with estimated horizontal widths ranging from 5 to 52 m. The most significant veins with associated mineralization to date are the 24, 37, and 27 Veins. These quartz veins exhibit a pervasive crackle breccia texture with gold-arsenopyrite mineralization concentrated in more intense cataclastic brecciation along the quartz vein margins.
The shallower dipping Eagle Zone binds the Eagle South Feeder Zone to the northeast and the steeply dipping Royal Shear Fault to the southwest. The area of deformation related to this target area is open along strike and to depth below the southwest dipping Royal Shear Fault. Significant gold intersections have been reported over 400 m of this Eagle South Feeder Zone, an area of brittle-ductile deformation, strong pervasive ankerite-sericite alteration, and multiple brecciated quartz veins. The images below are photos of the gold-bearing breccia.
