Title: Skygold Reports 19.30 gt/ Gold Over 1.5 Metres at Thunder Ridge (Spanish Creek).
Skygold Ventures Ltd. ("Skygold" or the "Company") (SKV-TSXV) is pleased to announce results from drilling at Thunder Ridge on its wholly-owned Spanish Creek project. A total of 1825.76 metres was completed in six holes in October 2009.
Highlights:
- Hole SC019 intersected 19.30 g/t gold over 1.5 metres and a second zone of 0.67 gold g/t over 21.40 metres including 0.87 g/t gold over 14.50 metres.
- Hole SC021 intersected 1.42 g/t gold over 14.75 metres including 4.54 g/t gold over 3.80 metres and a separate intersection of 705 g/t silver over 1.25 metres.
- Hole SC022 intersected 0.61 g/t gold over 21.50 metres.
- Hole SC023 intersected 0.80 g/t gold over 38.30 metres including 1.03 g/t gold over 26.0 metres also including 5.33 g/t gold over 1.50 metres.
Significant results are presented in Table 1. The location of drill holes are presented in Map1.
Gold mineralization at Thunder Ridge occurs at the intersection of southwest and northeast trending structures and vein systems. Gold mineralization encountered within holes SC019 and SC023 occurs within one of these vein/structure systems. The holes are located 400 metres apart. Mineralized zones remain open in all directions.
Gold mineralization has now been encountered over a strike length of at least 800 metres. All drilling to date was targeted within a larger gold geochemical anomaly which extends for over 1.5 kilometres. The Company believes that there is good potential to expand the extent of the currently defined mineralized corridor.
The Spanish Creek Project is located approximately 50 kilometres northeast of the town of 100 Mile House in central British Columbia. The property is underlain by a sequence of Triassic black phyllite similar to the rocks that underlie the Main Zone at the Spanish Mountain Property. Gold mineralization is associated with silica flooding and quartz veining within northeast trending structures.
The Company is planning for further drilling in 2010 to follow up these results and to test geophysical targets generated from an airborne geophysical survey completed in the fall of 2009.
