Queenston picks up new zone east of McBean

Deep drilling by Queenston Mining (QMI-T) at the Princeton property, about 15 km east of Kirkland Lake, Ont., has revealed a new zone of gold mineralization east of the former McBean gold mine.

The new zone is on the same green-carbonate horizon that hosted the main part of the McBean gold deposit. A hole drilled at 65 intersected a 1-metre core length grading 30.6 grams gold per tonne, at a vertical depth around 795 metres. There was some low-grade mineralization in a surrounding zone of strongly altered sedimentary and fragmental rocks, over a core length of 5.3 metres.

Another zone further up the hole intersected 6 metres grading 0.6 gram gold per tonne.

Two other holes intersected lower-grade mineralization on the Ritchie zone, which hosted some mineralization east of Princeton. One hole cut a 4-metre interval grading 0.6 gram gold per tonne, and the other 4.8 metres averaging 1.1 grams.
