Whitehorse Gold Corp.(TSXV: WHG) (OTCQX: WHGDF) has received high-grade assay results from the remaining 30 drill holes from the 2021 drill programme at its wholly-owned Skukum Gold Project, in southern Yukon.
The 30 drill holes were infill and step-out drill holes from the Skukum Creek, Mt. Skukum and Goddell deposits, which have further confirmed and expanded gold-silver mineralisation on the Project. With all drill results now received, the company is evaluating its exploration plans for the 2022 programm4.
Highlights of the drilling results:
- Hole MS21-003 at the Mt. Skukum deposit intersected a 7.7 metre (m) interval (from 82.0 to 89.7 m) grading 15.68 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) in the Lake 1 Zone. This is an infill hole and mineralisation occurs within a series of chalcedonic quartz-calcite veins and veinlets.
- Hole SC21-027 at the Skukum Creek deposit intersected a 14.0 m interval (from 473.7 to 487.7 m) grading 6.05 g/t Au and 106 g/t silver (Ag), including two separate intervals of 2.13 m grading 12.85 g/t Au and 203 g/t Ag, and 3.90 m grading 9.18 g/t Au and 183 g/t Ag, in the Rainbow Zone. This is an infill/resource upgrade hole with gold-silver mineralisation associated with a quartz vein breccia within a rhyolite dyke host emplaced in shear zone within granodiorites.
- Hole RACA21-003 on the RACA zone, adjacent to and east of the Skukum Creek deposit, intersected a 3.2 m interval (from 356.9 to 360.1 m) grading 0.76 g/t Au and 581 g/t Ag. An additional deeper interval of 2.65 m (from 425.5 to 428.2 m) graded 489 g/t Ag including a 0.3 m interval of 3,740 g/t Ag. This hole tests a new zone that encountered multiple narrow silver-rich quartz sulphide veins.
