Following Up Positive 2020 Results At Elizabeth Project
Tempus Resources Ltd (ASX: TMR, TSXV: TMRR, OTCQB: TMRFF) has recommenced drilling at the Elizabeth Gold Project in Southern British Columbia, Canada.
President and CEO, Jason Bahnsen, said the 2021 Exploration Programme has officially kicked off at the Elizabeth Gold Project with the start of diamond drill hole EZ-21-01.
“The SW Vein will continue to be the focus of the drilling at Elizabeth in 2021. The SW Vein remains considerably under explored at depth and along strike and we are very excited to start seeing more high-grade core from this drilling campaign,” Mr Bahnsen said.
“The 2021 Exploration Programme at Elizabeth will continue and extend the exploration drilling that began in November 2020 (total 2,006 metres over 11 holes already completed) that intercepted several high-grade zones with assays of up to 186 grams per tonne gold.
Highlights from 2020 drilling:
• EZ-20-06: 5.0m at 61.3g/t gold from 116.5m, including 1.5m at 186.0g/t gold from 118.0m and
• EZ-20-10: 3.2m at 28.1g/t gold from 184.0m, including 0.5m at 178.0g/t gold from 184.5m
The high-grade quartz veins encountered in the 2020 drilling at Elizabeth show close geological similarities to the Bralorne mesothermal vein system which has been mined to a depth of approximately 2,000m from surface and suggests there is strong potential to extend the mineralisation down plunge from the current deepest intersections that are approximately 200m below surface.
Furthermore, based on historic prospect drilling from 2005 the company says the SW Vein can be inferred to extend an additional 400m along strike to the northeast.
