A 1,000-ft development program has been completed at Better Resources’ Mt. Washington gold project on Vancouver Island. About 700 ft of underground development was completed in the ore zone and also 300 ft of crosscutting.
The company says the development work has established the continuity of the ore zone between drill holes which will permit a comparison between core grades and underground sample results.
Mapping and sampling will be accelerated and bulk samples collected for metallurgical testing. The ore has been known to contain relatively high amounts of arsenic but some very high grade material has also been noted which could offset lower recovery rates.
Additional assays have been received from hole 87-128 and the grade has increased to 0.146 oz gold over the 64.3 ft in the interval 359.8 to 424.1 ft. Additional thick intersections in the same general area indicate a substantial increase in reserves once assays are available and correlated.
