Secures Diamond Drill Contract for Golden Triangle Doc Property
Hanstone Gold Corp. (TSXV: HANS) has hied diamond drill contractor J.T. Thomas Diamond Drilling Ltd to head up the 5,000m, large diameter core drilling and exploration programme on its Doc and Snip North Properties, in British Columbia.
Hanstone worked with J.T. Thomas Diamond Drilling for its 2020 drill programme.
Hanstone crews have recently returned from opening the Doc Property camp in preparation for mobilisation of the 2021 core drilling and exploration programme, expected to commence later this month.
The 2021 northern summer drill programme is designed to follow-up on the significant diamond drill core results returned from the 2020 drill programme that included 2.25 metres grading 6.18 g/t Au, with 47.78 g/t Ag; 0.80 metres grading 10.8 g/t Au; and 7.02 metres grading 2.27 g/t Au. Additional positive results included 13.28 metres grading 12.01 g/t Au, including an exceptional intercept of 1.28 metres grading 113.70 g/t Au
President and CEO, Ray Marks, said additional new targets have also been identified for follow-up core drilling utilizing airborne geophysical data outlining the extension of geophysical gravity lows associated with known gold bearing quartz vein structures.
“Hanstone’s Management is eager to commence the 2021 drill programme and is looking forward to following up on the extension of additional new targets outlined from last year’s exceptional drilling results,” Mr Marks said.
“This year’s drilling is designed to expand the known mineralised zones and test new prospective targeted areas with the ultimate goal of defining a NI 43-101 compliant resource and delineate additional targets for exploration and future development.
“We expect this summer to be an exciting and rewarding one for the company and its shareholders.”
