Brigadier Gold (TSX-V: BRG) Announces Drill
Program at Hunter Mine
Program designed to test down plunge extension of ore body at
past producing gold mine near Timmins, Ont.
“Despite
being a past producer, the Hunter Mine property is under-explored, and
we’re excited to kick-off our drilling with a minimum of 1,700 metres,”
said Herb Kokotow, President.
“We’ve contracted with Benoit Diamond Drilling Ltd., and the
program is scheduled to begin in the first week of September.”
Gold
mineralization at the Hunter Mine occurs as a high-grade shoot within a zone up
to 15 metres thick, over a strike length of 470 metres and to a depth of 200
metres as defined by drilling and underground work. Importantly, the
mineralization is open both along strike to the north and south, and to depth.
The shoot,
which extends from surface, has an indicated length of 68 metres and an average
grade of 10.3 g/t gold over a width of 1.3 metres. Previous drilling indicates
that the zone persists to a depth of 150 metres, where intersections include
24.5 g/t over 2.7 metres, 26.1 g/t over 1.0 metre, 2.67 g/t over 1.3 metres and
8.85 g/t over 0.8 metres.
Brigadier will
drill three 400 metre holes to test the continuation of this mineralization down
plunge to the north between the 200 and 300 metre levels. A further three holes,
totalling 500 metres, will test a favourable horizon to the southwest in an
area that is on strike with the Dome Super Pit and in which there is no record
of previous drilling.
Brigadier has
an option to acquire, from ValGold Resources Ltd., an up to 80% interest in the
Hunter Gold Mine, which is located adjacent to the renowned Dome Mine near Timmins, Ontario
which has produced over 60 million ounces of gold. Exploration at the Hunter
Mine is being supervised by Dr. Derek McBride, P.Eng., Brigadier Gold’s
Senior Geologist and a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101. Dr.
McBride has reviewed and approved the contents of this news release.
