A 15,000-ft drill program is under way on the Rossland, B.C., gold property held by partners Antelope Resources and Bryndon Ventures. Located near the former producing Le Roi mine, the Antelope property encompasses 2,000 acres of ground.
The drill program is testing geophysical targets and following up encouraging drill results returned from another program completed by the partners earlier this year.
Of the 11 holes completed in the first drill program, three intersected encouraging values of 6.5 ft grading 0.47 oz gold per ton, 3.45 ft assaying 0.136 oz and 3.28 ft grading 0.138 oz.
The project covers similar geology as that which hosted the Le Roi mine, now controlled by Cominco. During its operating life from 1890-1928, the Le Roi produced three million oz of gold and three million oz of silver from ore grading 0.47 oz gold per ton.
Near Vernon, B.C., Antelope has completed a 2,600-ft trenching program. The work has confirmed the existence of widespread anomalous gold mineralization on the property.
