Drills 0.45M Of 614 G/T Au And 2,070 G/T Ag In BC
Westhaven Gold Corp. (TSXV:WHN) has obtained further promising drill results from its ongoing drill campaign at its 17,623-hectare Shovelnose gold property in British Columbia.
Recent Highlights:
- SNR21-04 (South Zone: Vein Zone 1, 82.00-123.55m)
41.55 metres (m) of 8.17 g/t gold (Au) and 34.64 g/t silver (Ag),
including 6.04m of 52.25 g/t Au and 195.04 g/t Ag,
including 1.22m of 253.05 g/t Au and 889.75 g/t Ag,
including 0.45m of 614 g/t Au and 2,070 g/t Ag. - SNR21-03 (South Zone: Vein Zone 1, 79.20-154.00m)
74.80m of 3.18 g/t Au and 18.92 g/t Ag,
including 5.13m of 26.13 g/t Au and 158.03 g/t Ag.
Also, 8.00m of 7.41 g/t Au and 55.32 g/t Ag,
including 1.32m of 31.90 g/t Au and 269.00 g/t Ag.
President and CEO, Gareth Thomas, said the high-grade drill intercepts, including 614 g/t gold and 2,070 g/t silver, help further validate the high-grade nature of the project.
“Hole SNR21-04 is one of the shallowest high-grade Vein Zone 1 intercept drilled on Shovelnose to date.
“It is encouraging to see the expansion of mineralization and the continuity of high-grade within the South Zone, especially as we continue to drill this area in preparation for an inaugural maiden resource,” Mr Thomas said.
“With the recent exploration success at the FMN Zone (SN21-161: 15.97m of 9.15 g/t Au and 27.43 g/t Ag), and with several high-priority targets generated from ongoing exploration programs including geophysics, geochemistry and prospecting, a third drill is being mobilised to the property.”
Exploration Manager, Peter Fischl, said the recent results from holes SNR21-03 and SNR21-04 expanded the area of high grade (+100 gram-metres Au) situated along strike above 1250m elevation in Vein Zone 1.
“These two holes continued northeastward into the underlying Vein Zone 2, where significant intervals of mineralisation were also encountered, including 1.64 g/t Au over 96.30m (SNR21-04, 219.00-315.30m).”
