BeMetals Corp. (TSXV:BMET) has obtained positive assay results from its ongoing diamond drilling programme at the Kato Gold Project in Hokkaido, Japan.
Due to the continued success of the programme, BeMetals plans to increase the size of its initial drilling campaign to 2,000 m and will continue releasing more assay results in the coming months.
Highlights:
- KT22-12: Seta Vein Zone: 26.10 m grading 3.06 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au); Including: 10.20 m grading 4.88 g/t Au; including 5.05 m grading 5.76 g/t Au
- KT22-12: Kamitake Vein Zone: 16.75 m grading 0.58 g/t Au
- This new hole extends the Seta Vein Zone by some 100 metres along strike from KT22-11
- The newly identified Kamitake vein, represents a significant additional target zone near the Seta Vein
- Additional drill hole assay results are expected to be released in the coming months
“We are pleased with these assay results from drill hole KT22-12 at our Kato Project on Hokkaido in Japan. This hole provides an approximate 100 metre extension to the strike length of the Seta Vein as intersected in the recently reported KT22-11 hole. These results demonstrate good continuity and scale potential of the Seta Vein as we continue our drilling programme,” John Wilton, President and CEO, said.
“In addition to expanding the Seta Vein, KT22-12 has also intersected what is interpreted as the upper section of a newly recognised vein zone named the Kamitake Vein. This vein is only some 40 metres from the Seta Vein and future drill targeting will be planned to test Kamitake’s potential grade, depth and strike extension. Both the Seta and Kamitake zones exhibit vein textures and other mineralogical features which are hallmarks of other typical epithermal gold deposits.
“The results to date from drilling at Kato have motivated the Company to expand its current phase of drilling by approximately 500 metres to further test the scope, scale, and controls of this significant gold system.”
Drilling Programme
This year, BeMetals plans to complete, a now expanded, approximately 2,000 metre drill programme at the Kato Gold Project. The company expects to continue to improve drilling progress with modifications to the hole designs and techniques that should provide constant geological exploration data and assay results.
