Four drill holes intersected gold mineralization in a 9-hole drill program conducted by
The program tested a series of targets on the Wagg gold showing, near the boundary between Menary and Senn twps., northeast of Rainy River. Previous bulk sampling, dating from the early 1990s, yielded a grade of 12 grams gold per tonne.
The best intersections came in hole 8, which encountered 13.9 grams gold per tonne over a core length of half a metre and 4.9 grams over 0.8 metre. In hole 4, a 0.6-metre intersection ran 10 grams gold, with some visible gold in the core.
Two zones, each 0.4 metre long, were found in hole 5; the first graded 3 grams gold and the second, 7.1 grams. In the fourth hole (hole 2), Western Troy encountered its deepest zone of gold mineralization, with 1 gram per tonne over 0.9 metre at a down-hole depth of 135.5 metres.
The five other holes did not intersect significant gold mineralization, but four of them intersected veins or narrow shears that appear to be extensions of the mineralized structures intersected in other drill holes or that are visible on the surface.
Western Troy is planning a further 575-metre drill program, plus an induced-polarization survey.
