Victoria Gold Corp. (TSX-VGCX) has unveiled analytical results from the 2020/21 Eagle Deep exploration programme in the Yukon.
The programm was conducted starting in late 2020 and ran through to May 2021 and comprised of nine holes for a total of 6,103 meters of diamond drilling with 3,956 samples processed and analysed.
On average, the holes were to a depth of 800 m.
Highlights of the 2020/21 Eagle Deep exploration programme include:
DG21-993C:
- 443.6m @ 0.64 g/t Au from 24.4m
- including: 175.0m @ 1.22 g/t Au from 148.0m
DG21-997C:
- 110.9m @ 0.72 g/t Au from 201.6m
- and: 50.0m @ 0.79 g/t Au from 394.0m
DG21-1000C:
- 352.0m @ 0.51 g/t Au from 61.0m
- including: 126.0m @ 0.80 g/t Au from 278.0m
The Eagle Deep drilling below the Eagle Deposit clearly demonstrates potential to significantly extend the currently defined gold Resource Estimate at depth from the existing pit.” John McConnell, President and CEO of Victoria, said.
While the current drilling is not of sufficient density to define resources or reserves, there is potential to add multi-million ounces and extend the mine life.”
Historically, there has been only limited drilling to test the vertical extent of mineralization at Eagle; with the notable exception of a four-hole deep-drilling campaign in 2017. Each of these 2017 drillholes intercepted long intervals of gold mineralisation; including multiple intervals of greater than 1 g/t Au.
Highlighted results from 2017 Eagle Deep drillholes* include:
DG17-930C:
- 607.8m @ 0.56 g/t Au from 47.2m
- including: 120.0m @ 0.95 g/t Au from 50.0m
- and including: 40.2m @ 1.33 g/t Au from 362.3m
DG17-937C:
- 122.3m @ 0.71 g/t Au from 476.6m
- including: 44.3m @ 0.93 g/t Au from 551.1m
DG17-922C:
- 624.1m @ 0.50 g/t Au from 0 to 624.1m
- including: 371.1m @ 0.65 g/t Au from 185.9m
- including 37.2m @ 1.27 g/t Au from 249.8m
- and including: 38.8m @ 1.20 g/t Au from 468.3m
DG17-910C:
- 423.0m @ 0.59 g/t Au from 221.0m
- including: 161.4m @ 0.91 g/t Au from 482.6m
- and including: 25.5m @ 1.97 g/t Au from 612.5m
