A recent hole drilled on the TOK claim gap by Adrian Resources (VSE) returned 49.2 ft. grading 1.19 oz. gold and 87.50 oz. silver per ton from the Pumphouse Lake zone. The TOK claim gap makes up part of the Ski property adjacent to the Eskay Creek project owned by Prime Resources Group (VSE) and Stikine Resources (VSE). Prime and Stikine can jointly earn a 50% interest in Adrian’s Ski project.
Hole 691, drilled on section 5+00N, intersected the high-grade gold and silver values from 239.4-288.6 ft. The intersection includes a 13.1-ft. intercept grading 3.20 oz. gold and 246.68 oz. silver.
Previous drilling in the area also returned good values, and it now postulated that this mineralization is the southern extension of the Pathfinder zone which is a discrete, high-grade gold, silver and base metal zone comprising a portion of the 21B deposit at Eskay Creek.
Several other holes were drilled to better define the western downdip limitations of the 21B deposit within the TOK claim gap. Results of drilling (from depths of 583.9- 665.9 ft.) include: 9.8 ft. of 0.077 oz. gold and 0.18 oz. silver; 29.5 ft. of 0.073 oz. gold and 0.58 oz. silver; 6.6 ft. of 0.59 oz. gold and 1.70 oz. silver; and 32.8 ft. of 0.19 oz. gold and 0.25 oz. silver.
Mineralization was also encountered during drilling on the main portion of the Ski project (at depths of 1,289-1,620.3 ft.).
Results include: 32.8 ft. of 0.14 oz. gold and 7.47 oz. silver; 32.8 ft. of 0.15 oz. gold and 1.35 oz. silver; 29.5 ft. of 0.14 oz. gold and 3.59 oz. silver; 13.1 ft. of 0.16 oz. gold and 0.33 oz. silver; 26.2 ft. of 0.27 oz. gold and 14.53 oz. silver and 9.8 ft. of 0.14 oz. gold and 4.78 oz. silver.
Recent drilling on the TOK claim gap portion of the Ski property is expected to add to previously reported tonnage and grade calculations of 169,000 tons grading 0.66 oz. gold and 17.47 oz. silver at a cutoff grade of 0.1 oz. gold.
