The second drill hole (#21), has intersected 3.19 g/t Au over 4.30 metres included in an interval of 10 meters grading 1.55 g/t Au. Other gold zones with lower grades or with smaller lengths were also intersected as indicated in the table below.
Eleven diamond drill holes were completed in last September for a total of 1,962 metres. The complete results of all the other nine drill holes will be obtained shortly, reanalysis are still underway for some samples.
MAIN ASSAY RESULTS OF DRILL HOLE #20 AND 21
Assay quality control
For holes #20 and #21 respectively, 271 and 118 samples, representing 279 and 126 metres of NQ drill core, were sawed in half, with one half sent to a commercial laboratory for analysis and other half retained for future reference. A strict QA/QC program was followed by integrating blanks and certified reference materials to the drill core samples, all of which were prepared by IOS Services Geoscientifiques inc. of Chicoutimi, and assayed for gold by fire assay and atomic absorption finish (AA24) by the ALS Minerals laboratories in Val d'Or, Quebec. Samples grading more than 3 g/t were re-assayed by fire assay with gravimetric finish. (GRA22)."
