Recent drilling on the Yukon gold project intersected a strong quartz vein over a width of 5.3 ft grading 0.43 oz gold per ton, Chesbar Resources President J.T. Flanagan reports. The project involves 169 claims in the Carmacks area of the Yukon.
The section, Mr Flanagan reports, came in the deepening of a previous drill hole which current interpretation of data suggested fell short of its target. While gold values had been obtained in previous drilling, this section is the strongest to date, and thus confirms the original expectation that good gold-bearing quartz veins are in place sub-surface.
Gold-bearing float has been located in two main target areas known as the North and South zones where work has been concentrated, but it has also been found over widespread additional areas within the claims which comprise about 10,000 acres. Less than half of this land has been subjected to any systematic exploration.
Chesbar and States Exploration may each earn a 25% interest in the project by spending $200,000 by Dec 31, 1987, and a further $250,000 by the end of 1988. Chesbar is the operator. Kerr Addison Mines will retain a 50% interest in the project.
