- EZ-22-18 – 47.6g/t gold over 1.00m from 142.95m, including:
West / Main Vein Intersections –
- EZ-22-32 – 1.5g/t gold over 1.98m from 254.38m, including 2.1g/t gold over 1.15m from 254.70m, and 0.6g/t gold over 1.64m from 434.61m
President and Chief Executive Officer Jason Bahnsen called the assay results extraordinary, one of the best intersections he has seen in his 30-plus year career. Hole 20 sets a new record in terms of combined grade and thickness for the Elizabeth Project.
“The bonanza and high-grade zones of the No.9 Vein and the Blue Vein have now been extended to over 150 metres each in strike. Structurally it is possible that the No. 9 and Blue Veins join together with the potential for additional gold mineralization to cumulate in the area of the intersection and with further extensions along strike to the southwest.”
Largely unexplored, the Main Vein and the West Vein haven’t seen any drilling to the southern extension of these vein structures. These results increase the total strike length of the gold mineralization of the West / Main Veins to 400 metres.
