McEwen Inc. has announced new high-grade mineralization discovered approximately 200m West of the Froome Mine.
Highlights from Froome West Drilling are below.
Intercepts along the Froome West high-grade plunge:
- Hole 25PR-G424 returned 36.0 g/t gold over 10.0 m (including 160.0 g/t gold over 2.2 m), and 9.3 g/t gold over 7.8 m.
- Hole 25PR-G399 returned 6.7 g/t gold over 3.4 m.
- Hole 25PR-G381 returned 15.0 g/t gold over 6.6 m and 4.9 g/t gold over 2.2 m
Extending mineralization West:
- Hole 25PR-G390 returned 11.7 g/t gold over 2.4 m and 18.5 g/t gold over 0.5 m, representing drill intercepts of two of the stacked mineralized zones stepping out to the West.
- Hole 25PR-G413 returned 22.1 g/t gold over 1.8 m.
The mineralization discovered at Froome West is seen to occur as multiple sub-vertical, stacked mineralized lenses, which often lead to increased flexibility during mining. The team noted a high grade concentration, in a 15-25m wide, vertically oriented trend (or plunge). Gold mineralization remains open to the west and at depth, which encourages further exploration in both directions.
The high grade mineralization will extend the mining at Froome, and provide more opportunities in the overall mine plan for the Fox Complex.
Rob Glover, Chief Geologist of McEwen Inc noted, “We are excited at the potential of what Froome West holds, in an area of our property that is relatively underexplored; our current mineralization model extends to a depth of 250 meters and remains open both at depth and to the West. The nearby Black Fox Mine historically produced nearly 1 million gold ounces, from mining that extended down to 800 meters below surface. With geology and mineralization styles comparable to those seen at Black Fox, which encountered mineralization as deep as 1,000 meters, the Froome West area has the potential to lead us to the discovery of a deposit of similar scale and significance.”
