Westhaven Gold Corp. (TSXV:WHN) has obtained positive drill results from its ongoing, fully-financed drill campaign at its 100% owned 17,623-hectare Shovelnose gold property in British Columbia.
The latest assay results are from for 10 holes from its ongoing drill campaign at Shovelnose. Westhaven has completed 34,991m of diamond drilling to date in 2021. An additional 18 holes are pending assays.
Recent Drilling Highlights:
- SNR21-35 (South Zone: 42.00-127.45m) 85.45m of 1.09 g/t gold and 2.43 g/t silver, including 10.00m of 3.42 g/t Au and 3.97 g/t Ag, including 2.00m of 13.55 g/t Au and 3.98 g/t Ag, and 3.14m of 10.80 g/t Au and 24.80 g/t Ag.
- SNR21-37 (South Zone: 73.00-90.00m) 17.00m of 1.21 g/t Au and 2.50 g/t Ag, including 2.00m of 6.77 g/t Au and 7.57 g/t Ag.
- SNR21-34 (South Zone: 103.08-149.00m) 45.92m of 0.58 g/t Au and 1.84 g/t Ag, including 15.00m of 1.26 g/t Au and 2.91 g/t Ag.
President and CEO, Gareth Thomas, said these drill results at the South Zone once again confirm Westhaven is dealing with a robust gold-silver system that continues to expand with drilling.
“The South Zone resource drilling is complete and drilling is now focused on recently identified exploration targets.”
Drilling Update:
Two drills are currently conducting exploration drilling at the FMN Zone and CSAMT (Controlled-source Audio-frequency Magnetotellurics) targets. The FMN Zone is initially being drilled along a series of sections spaced 50 m apart over a strike length of 250m as a follow-up to holes SN20-158, SN21-161 (15.97m of 9.15 g/t Au and 27.43 g/t Ag) and SN21-167. Drilling will be expanded eastward towards holes SN20-139 (5.50m of 4.58 g/t Au and 267.35 g/t Ag) and SN20-145 to test for the continuity of mineralization over strike-lengths similar to that seen at South Zone.
Geophysical Survey Drill Targets (CSAMT/Magnetic)
Two targets along CSAMT Line 4000 are being drill tested west of South Zone. Both targets feature prominent resistivity highs that may be associated with zones of quartz veining similar to that seen at South Zone.
Subsequently, two prominent northwest trending magnetic lows situated on trend to the southeast of South Zone, immediately southeast of the Shylock targets, are currently being evaluated as potential drill targets.
