Acadian Gold (ADA-V) is progressing with the definition of high-grade gold intercepts at its 51-sq.-km Forest Hill project 40 km southeast of Antigonish, Nova Scotia.
The latest drill results are from 13 holes of a 72-hole program that began in 2003. Highlights from the Salmon River vein include: two 0.36-metre true-width intercepts grading 59.4 grams gold and 31.68 grams gold within two metres down-hole of one another. The vein has an estimated true width of 1.2 metres and returned additional gold values of 1.6 to 15.7 grams per tonne over true widths of 0.32 to 1.2 metres.
Seven veins have been targeted within a 220-metre-wide corridor. The veins strike west and dip 70-75 to the north. Gold is in mineralized shoots that are shallowly plunging (less than 12) and narrow (termed ribbons). These are stacked vertically, and separated by very low grade to barren rock. Two of these structures have been defined in recent drilling.
Visible gold was observed in nine of thirteen holes that contained gold mineralization.
In the 1980s WMC Resources (WMC-N) and Seabright Resources sank a 230-metre shaft and developed a 155-metre and a 250-metre-level focusing on the School House zone on the property. Test-mining did not result in a full-scale mining decision.
