Labrador Gold Corp. (TSXV:LAB) has obtained high-grade results from recent drilling targeting the prospective Appleton Fault Zone over a 12km strike length. The drilling is part of the company’s ongoing 100,000 metre diamond drilling programme at its 100% owned Kingsway Project in Newfoundland.
Highlights of the drilling include an intersection of 30.67 g/t Au over 1.1 metres from 208.85 metres that included 99.31 g/t Au over 0. 3 metres in Hole K-22-190 from the north end of Big Vein. The intersection is approximately 75 metres north of the discovery outcrop and is downdip of Hole K-22-177 that intersected the longest interval yet of 2.02g/t Au over 32m.
Also at Big Vein, Hole K-22-194 intersected 1.27 g/t Au over 6.17 metres from 115 metres that included 2.3 g/t Au over 3m. At Big Vein Southwest, Hole K-22-184 intersected 4.67 g/t over 1.64m from 336.25m that included 8.97 g/t over 0.75m.
“We continue to have drilling success at the north end of Big Vein where several significant intercepts have now been received, including 6.07 g/t Au over 19m in hole K-21-111 and 2.02 g/t over 32m in Hole K-22-177 and now 30.67g/t Au in Hole K-22-190,” said Roger Moss, President and CEO.
“The down dip mineralisation in K-22-190 shows the high-grade prospectivity of this area which we are currently following up. Big Vein has been drilled over a strike length of approximately 520 metres and remains open both to the northeast and southwest. Two drill rigs are currently drilling at Big Vein to test for extensions of the mineralization in both directions.”
A total of 58,265 metres have been drilled to date out of the planned 100,000 metre program. Assays are pending for samples from approximately 3,100 metres of core (11.5% of the total submitted).
The company has $21 million in cash and is well funded to carry out the remaining 42,000 metres of the planned drill program as well as further target generation on the property.
