Newcore Gold Ltd (TSXV: NCAU, OTCQX: NCAUF) has identified a wide zone of shallow mineralisation with additional drill results from the 90,000 m drill programme at the company’s 100% owned Enchi Gold Project in Ghana.
Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling at the Nyam Gold Deposit at Enchi has intersected high-grade oxide gold mineralisation near surface grading 1.79 g/t Au over 24.0 m from 38 m. RC drilling at the Kwakyekrom Gold Deposit intersected 0.99 g/t Au over 29.0 m from 81 m, extending the drill-tested gold mineralisation at Kwakyekrom by 500 m to the north.
Highlights from Drilling at Nyam and Kwakyekrom
- RC drilling at Nyam intersected oxidised gold mineralisation near surface, including:
- Hole NBRC092 intersected 1.79 g/t Au over 24.0 m from 38 m, including 4.14 g/t Au over 4.0 m from 51 m.
- Hole NBRC097 intersected 0.87 g/t Au over 25.0 m from 10 m, including 2.59 g/t Au over 4.0 m from 20 m.
- Additional RC drilling at Nyam extended the gold mineralisation to depth, into the upper portion of the sulphide zone, including:
- Hole NBRC090 intersected 0.77 g/t Au over 31.0 m from 78 m, including 4.92 g/t Au over 1.0 m from 102 m and 5.19 g/t Au over 1.0 m from 107 m.
- Hole NBRC093 intersected 0.43 g/t Au over 48 m from 79 m, including 1.79 g/t Au over 4.0 m from 84 m and 1.32 g/t Au over 3.0 m from 99 m.
- RC drilling at Kwakyekrom has extended mineralisation 500 m north, increasing drill tested strike length of gold mineraliation to 1.5 km, including:
- Hole KKRC080 intersected a gold mineralized structure grading 0.99 g/t Au over 29.0 m from 81 m, and a second zone of 1.67 g/t Au over 3.0 m from 40 m.
- Hole KKRC075 intersected 2.31 g/t Au over 7.0 m from 53 m.
- Hole KKRC076 intersected 1.14 g/t Au over 13.0 m from 119 m, and a second zone of 2.29 g/t Au over 2.0 m from 189 m.
“We continue to encounter strong results at both the Nyam and Kwakyekrom deposit areas at Enchi, highlighting the potential for resource growth across the Project,” VP Exploration Greg Smith, said.
“Nyam continues to encounter high-grade oxide gold mineralization near surface, while also extending the mineralisation at depth into the upper portions of the sulphide zone. These drill results also included drilling focused on testing Kwakyekrom to the north of the existing pit-constrained mineral resource area, with drilling successfully expanding the known mineralization by 500 m to the north and increasing the drill tested strike extent of gold mineralization at Kwakyekrom to 1.5 kms.
“We look forward to completing the current 90,000 metre drill program over the next several months as we continue our exploration programme to define Enchi’s district scale potential.”
