ADDITIONAL CLAY LAKE DRILL RESULTS
FURTHER WIDE GOLD ZONES REPORTED
-- 38.0 metres gold zone intersection at 0.9 g/t gold with grades up to 3.2 g/t gold including 31.0 metres at 1.0 g/t gold
-- 29.0 metres gold zone intersection at 0.9 g/t gold including 16.0 metres at 1.2 g/t gold
-- Potential for high tonnage, overall gold content and mineability
The Derryhennet section of the gold target is an orogenic folded black carbonaceous shale hosted gold target and is up to 1Km in length and 2Km in width. The step-out drilling programme has confirmed good continuity of the gold Stockwork zone at Derryhennet which now stands at over 400 metres in length and is still open. The continued encountering in this programme of wide gold intersections at relatively shallow depths further indicates the potential for high tonnage, overall gold content and mineability in this part of the
The drilling programme is being carried out in conjunction with joint venture partner, Demir Export A.Ş ("Demir Export").
The two drill holes, which totalling 493.8m, complete an eight-hole (2,303.3m) step-out drill programme on the Derryhennet section of the Company's
The first drill hole, CGA-22-001, was drilled to a down hole depth of 190.3 metres, at a 60 degree dip, and intersected a series of gold zones including 29.0 metres grading 0.9 g/t gold from a down hole depth of 26.0 metres and 31.0 metres at 1.0 g/t gold with grades up to 3.2 g/t gold within 38.0 metres grading 0.9 g/t gold from a down hole depth of 107.0 metres.
This hole was situated 300m to the northeast of the drill hole (CGA-22-005) which intersected 40.5 metres at 1.2 g/t gold and c.100.0m to the northeast of the drill hole which intersected 100.0 metres at 0.6 g/t gold, at a depth of 26.4 metres, which is believed to be the longest continuous gold intersection in the British Isles.
The second drill hole, CGA-22-008, was drilled to a down hole depth of 317.5 metres, at a 60 degree dip, and intersected 2.0 metres at 1.0 g/t gold from 126.0m, 4.0 metres at 1.1 g/t gold from 155.0 metres, 3.0 metres to 1.6 g/t gold from 267.0 metres and 2.0 metres at 1.0 g/t gold from 280.0 metres.
