Drill results suggest the zone has ample depth
potential and gold mineralization continuity.
Great
Bear Resources Ltd. (GBR:TSX.V; GTBDF:OTC) reported in a news release it hit upon a significant expansion of the
Hinge zone at Dixie in Ontario's Red Lake District.
On drilling, the gold explorer encountered more high-grade gold
mineralization 440 meters (440m) downplunge from the surface and 150m
downplunge of the closest, previously reported high-grade intercept.
All of the 11 recent drill holes intersected from one to five gold-bearing
quartz veins.
Hole DHZ-042 hit 3m of 23.21 grams per ton gold (23.21 g/t Au), including
1m of 50.66 g/t Au at a 229m vertical depth. Hole DL-048 intersected 3.9m of
18.09 g/t Au, including 1m of 69.97 g/t Au at a 342m vertical depth.
"Results suggest the Hinge zone projects from near-surface with
significant depth potential, and contains a high degree of continuity of gold
mineralization within its extensive vein network," President and CEO
Chris Taylor said in the release.
Great Bear reported it will follow up these results this year by testing
the continuity down to increasing depths. It also will drill more deeply and
along strike into what are thought to be at least six other gold zones
featuring similar plunges to those along the 500m strike length of the
already drilled, Hinge zone vein swarm.
