Newcore Gold Ltd. (TSXV: NCAU, OTCQX: NCAUF) has drilled two gold discoveries from the 90,000 m drill programme underway at the company’s 100% owned Enchi Gold Project in Ghana.
First pass Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling on two grassroots targets, Tokosea and Sewum South, intersected shallow oxide gold mineralisation demonstrating the strong potential to delineate additional resource areas across the 216 sq. km property.
Drilling at Tokosea (located on the central portion of Enchi) intersected shallow high-grade oxide gold mineralisation grading 3.52 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) over 9.0 m from 74 m, including 7.36 g/t Au over 4.0 m from 77 m.
Drilling at Sewum South (located at the southern end of Enchi, one of the largest previously undrilled targets identified on the Project) intersected 0.95 g/t Au over 15.0 m from 25 m, including 2.31 g/t Au over 5.0 m from 25 m.
The Tokosea and Sewum South gold targets are each outlined on surface by a six km long and two to three km wide gold-in-soil anomaly.
Drilling at Tokosea also intersected gold mineralisation to depth, into the upper portion of the sulphide mineralisation, with results including:
- Hole TORC012 intersected a second structure in the sulphides with 1.73 g/t Au over 6.0 m from 125 m, including 4.35 g/t Au over 2.0 m from 125 m.
- Hole TORC020 intersected 0.90 g/t Au over 12.0 m from 74 m, including 4.55 g/t Au over 2.0 m from 76 m.
Drilling at Sewum South intersected multiple gold mineralised zones, including higher grade core structures:
- Hole SWRC130 intersected 0.95 g/t Au over 15.0 m from 25 m, including 2.31 g/t Au over 5.0 m from 25 m and a second zone of 1.50 g/t Au over 4.0 m from 14 m.
- Hole SWRC121 intersected 0.53 g/t Au over 24.0 m from 54 m, including higher-grade structures of 1.09 g/t Au over 3.0 m from 54 m and 1.61 g/t Au over 2.0 m from 69 m.
“We are thrilled with the success of inaugural drilling on some of the largest gold anomalies we have identified at Enchi,” VP Exploration Greg Smith said.
“Both drilling at Tokosea and Sewum South, two prospective early-stage targets on the property, have identified several new areas of gold mineralisation with strong results in both near surface oxide and sulphide mineralisation.
“This first pass drilling tested gold mineralisation to an average vertical depth of only 75 metres and identified a number of mineralised zones with higher-grade core structures with further potential from follow-on drilling along strike and at depth.
“We have only just scratched the surface of the gold potential at Enchi. The 90,000 m drill programme underway continues to prove out the significant multi-million ounce potential across this district scale property.”
