To date, three holes have been completed (KE10-16 / 17 / 19). Samples from hole KE10-17 are enroute to the lab and hole KE10-19 is being logged and sampled.
The vein intersections in hole KE10-16 stepped out up to 90m south of the intersections made last winter.
Of particular note is the interception at what is believed to be the flat vein elevation, 85m south of the last flat vein intersection made during the 2009-2010 drilling in hole KE10-15.
This new intercept (from 361.4 to 362.74m or 1.34m) averaged 59.84g/t Au and 87.23g/t Ag, almost 2 oz gold as well as over 3 oz silver content.
During the 2009-2010, drilling many high grade vein intercepts were made proving not only that the historic Kenville veins do extend to the south and to depth but also continue to carry substantial gold grades.
These interceptions also added significant strike length and depth to the ‘Eagle’ veins while leaving them open in all directions. The 2009-2010 program was very successful and provided a clear direction for this phase of drilling.
Working off of those successes this latest round of drilling is designed to first ‘step out’ further south and west of the 2009-2010 drilling.
Once the southern and western extents of this phase of drilling has been delineated, infill drilling will commence for more detailed calculations of tonnes/grams (tons/ounces).
The southern perimeter of this drilling will be over 500m strike length from the veins in the back of the existing Kenville mine’s footprint and more then 750m strike length from the first interceptions made on the ‘Eagle’ veins.
