Prospect Ridge Resources Corp. (CSE: PRR) has commenced drilling at the flagship Knauss Creek property located 10 km North of Terrace, BC.
The construction of the drill pads and drilling began last week and the first drill hole on the property has been completed. The initial focus is in the area of the Jay veins, which will be followed by the historic Dorreen zone that was a past producing high-grade gold mine.
The drilling will be conducted on a 24 hours per day/7 days per week schedule, until the campaign is complete. Under the direct supervision of CEO, Michael Iverson, and President, Yan Ducharme, the drilling and prospecting teams will be collecting a steady stream of samples that will be sent to the laboratory for analysis on a regular basis.
“After great anticipation, we are pleased to announce we have commenced drilling,” Mr Iverson said.
“The drill is spinning 24/7 providing us with core samples to send to the labs as soon as possible. Yan and I will be on location guiding the team from target to target to optimise our efforts. We look forward to the potential great success this property holds.”
About Holy Grail & Knauss Creek
The Holy Grail and Knauss properties start about 10 km north of the town of Terrace in the Province of British Columbia, Canada. They are easily accessible by two highways and a network of logging roads. They are contiguous and form a horseshoe covering about 730 square km
The southern tip of the Golden Triangle arrives just northwest of the properties. The Bower Lake and the Hazelton Groups hosting most of the deposits and mines of this area are also underlying the Holy Grail and Knauss Creek properties.
A few gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc occurrences where found in the past. The most notable is the Dorreen mine where three levels were developed and, according to historical documents, around 700 tons of ore were mined out at an average grade of more than 10 g/t Au.
The properties hold more than 10 very interesting gold showings, sometimes with silver, copper, lead and zinc.
