Q-Gold Resources has drilled 9.25m of 179.79G/T silver on its Mckenzie Gray gold and silver project near Mine Centre, Ontario.

These include 5.4m of 293.93 g/t silver (QMG10-03) and 2.9m of 152.72 g/t silver (QMG10-04).

This discovery was made in the first six drill holes of its Phase II diamond core drilling program of 18 drill holes totaling 2,612m, completed in November 2010.

The 2010 drill program consisted of five shallow dipping drill holes to test the mineralized zone near surface (QMG10-14 to 18).

The other 13 drill holes (QMG10-1 to 12) tested the mineralized zone to a depth of 150m.

The program was designed to follow-up the 2009 drill program, which identified significant gold, silver and zinc mineralization, the company said.

The current drilling was completed on the same cross-sections as the 2009 drill holes, spaced at 15m intervals.
