According to Thursday’s news release, STLLR used AI “to optimize drill meterage and mineral resource conversion,” encountering near-surface mineralization with grades higher than the 2022 resource estimate for Tower’s 903 deposit.

The Tower project, located in the Timmins Mining Camp, houses a mineral resource currently estimated at 4.5 million ounces grading 0.92 g/t gold indicated and 8.3 million ounces grading 1.09 g/t gold inferred.

Final assays from the company’s completed 5,000-metre drilling program remain pending.

Leadership insights 

“We continue to intersect higher-grade mineralization at the 903 Deposit from our AI-assisted infill drilling program,” Keyvan Salehi, president and chief executive officer of STLLR Gold, said in a statement. “More importantly, we continue to confirm mineralization in areas where we have the potential to convert resources to higher-confidence levels. The updated mineral resource estimate and preliminary economic assessment for the Tower gold project remain on track for completion in the first half of 2025. In parallel, assay results from the ongoing characterization program at the Hollinger tailings project continue to be received, with an update expected in the near future.”
