Early Start To Gold Chase In BC’s Prolific Golden Triangle
Hanstone Gold Corp. (TSXV: HANS) has commenced HQ diamond drilling on its high grade Doc Property, located in British Columbia’s prolific mining district known as the Golden Triangle.
Hanstone intends to conduct a 5,000m, large diameter HQ core drilling programme in 2021.
Last year’s very successful drill programme returned exceptional results that will be followed up this year with the goal of extending the strike and depth of the known mineralised occurrences as well as test additional new targets.
These new targets were previously identified utilising airborne geophysical data which outlined the extension of geophysical gravity lows associated with known gold bearing quartz vein structures.
Each drill pad set-up will accommodate several downdip and azimuth swing drill holes designed to extend the strike and dip of mineralized structures with the ultimate goal of preparing a National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource focused on the Doc property.
Previously announced significant diamond drill core results returned from the 2020 drill program included 2.25 metres grading 6.18 g/t Au, including 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 current warm weather conditions have allowed for the early commencement of this year’s drill programme, expected to continue into the early fall. 2021 Drill Program results will be released as they become available.
“Hanstone’s Management is very happy to commence the 2021 drill programme and eagerly awaits results from the planned drill programme that follows up on last year’s exceptional results,” Mr Marks said.
Our focus is to run a tight drill pattern on the Q26 and Doc areas in order to produce a NI 43-101 compliant resource. At the same time, we have numerous additional targets identified by the fall 2020 UAV mag survey that we look forward to exploring. We expect this summer to be both exciting and rewarding for the Company and its shareholders.”
