Victoria Gold Corp. (TSX:VGCX) has obtained further positive assay results from the 2021 Dublin Gulch exploration programme’s Lynx diamond drillholes in the Yukon.
Lynx is a newly developing on/near-surface gold target within the Dublin Gulch Gold Camp. During the 2021 season, over 20,000 m of diamond drilling were completed across the claim package; including 11 holes for 2,706 m drilling at Lynx combined with a suite of surface trenches, mapping and soils geochemical surveys. Highlighted assay results received from the first six Lynx holes follow:
- 2.00 g/t Au over 32.3m in LX21-025C
- 1.14 g/t Au over 31.4m in LX21-026C
- 2.52 g/t Au over 10.2m in LX21-027C
- 3.42 g/t Au over 18.3m in LX21-026C
“Lynx is another example of how under explored the Dublin Gulch claim block is,” President and CEO, John McConnell, said.
“Now that Eagle is operating, our team has turned its attention to the systematic exploration of the numerous targets on the block. We fully expect more discoveries in the future.”
Exploration in 2021 at Lynx expanded upon the initial 2020 work which consisted of 4 diamond drillholes that totalled 594m.
The 2021 exploration programme was designed to extend the known near-surface gold mineralisation and target the vertical extents of gold mineralization. This work culminated in 11 diamond drillholes totalling 2,706 meters in Lynx and 22 surface trenches totalling 2,362 m. Assays for six of these 11 holes have been received to date.
Lynx is located centrally in the Dublin Gulch claim block, approximately five km southwest of Raven, the main target of Victoria’s 2021 exploration campaign, and is centred on a 400 by 700 m elliptical exposure of Cretaceous granodiorite stock that intrudes overlying metasedimentary Proterozoic Hyland Group and Devonian-Mississippian Keno Hill Quartzite Formations.
