The planned program with two rigs, a rotary rig and a core rig, includes 16,000 feet (4,850 m) of core drilling in 16 to 18 core holes, and 32,000 feet (9,700 meters) of reverse circulation, rotary drilling. Core holes will be pre-drilled by rotary drilling to 600 feet and then entered with the core rig to complete the holes. Some exploration holes and several infill holes will be completed by rotary drilling alone.
The goals of the 2016 drilling program are as follows:
In addition, permitting is in progress to drill test Target 5, which is located 4.5 miles (7 km) south of the Original Target area. Target 5 is about 1 km in diameter, and its geology is identical to the Original Target, consisting of a rhyolite flow dome complex displaying strong hydrothermal alteration. Surface sampling at Target 5 identified a gold-bearing outcrop about 200 meters long and 10 meters wide, where four surface samples ranged from 0.4 g/t to 1.08 g/t gold. Please refer to Columbus' news release dated October 23, 2014 for more details on Target 5.
