Leocor Gold Inc. (CSE:LECR) has begun Rotary Air Blast (RAB) drilling at its Dorset gold property in Newfoundland.
A total of 16 RAB drill holes are planned for the $1.2 million 2023 exploration program at Dorset. Drilling in 2022 returned 2.32 g/t Au over 10.67 metres and 10.2 g/t Au over 1.52 metres. An additional two RAB holes will be completed at Copper Creek target where in 2022 drilling returned 0.58 per cent Cu over 9.12 metres, which includes 1.095 per cent Cu over 1.52 metres. Two RAB holes will be completed at the Dorset Gunshot / Braz occurrence where in 2022 drilling returned 3.18 g/t Au over 4.57 metres.
GroundTruth Exploration will oversee RAB drilling. Its GT RAB Drill is environmentally friendly with low ground pressure and minimal surface disturbance. Individual drill holes can be up to 100 metres in depth and are paired with onsite XRF analysis and optical televiewer surveys.
“RAB drilling is a very mobile and cost-effective tool we are utilizing to target the sub-surface with instant XRF analysis and downhole optical viewing. The Dorset Project remains a top priority for Leocor based on our impressive inaugural RAB results from 2022, and we’re looking forward to continuing the project’s development,” said Leocor CEO Alex Klenman.
