Green River Gold Corp. (CSE: CCR) has received promising assay results for hole WK-22-06 drilled to a depth of 128m in Zone 2 of the Deep Purple target at the Quesnel Nickel Project in British Columbia.
The drill hole is the deepest hole drilled on the project to date and it ended in mineralization. The hole was drilled using a portable Winkie drill and the drill reached its capacity at 128m.
Kyle Townsend, Mine Manager of Green River Gold Corp. said while winter drilling poses challenges, the company’s programme is advancing with excellent results
“We are very pleased to see the continuation and consistency of the metal grades at greater depths on Zone 2. Green River has now drilled 42 holes combined on Zone 1 and Zone 2,”
President and CEO Perry Little, said.
The company has encountered nickel, chromium, cobalt, and magnesium beginning at the surface of the bedrock in all 42 holes. Given the 14 km length of the Deep Purple magnetic anomaly and the consistency of the drill results thus far, we continue to be encouraged by the potential scale of the project.”
Zone 2 is located approximately eight km southeast of Zone 1, which was drilled by Green River in the northern Winter of 2021 and Spring of 2022. Both zones are extensive bedrock exposures that are located within the Deep Purple magnetic anomaly consisting of nickel, chromium, cobalt, magnesium, and talc mineralization.
The entire Deep Purple magnetic anomaly has a linear length of 14 km with an approximate area of 6.63 square km.
The entire project is located within a one hour drive of Green River’s shop and office in the City of Quesnel, B.C.
