A 7,000-ft drill program has been completed on Eastfield Resources, (VSE) Indata project north of Fort St. James, B.C. Quartz sulphides were encountered in 20 out of 23 holes one of which (No 88-1-11) returned 20 ft of 0.92 oz gold. This hole was drilled approximately 1,000 ft north of hole No 87-1-4 which yielded 0.52 oz gold over two feet last year.
The style of mineralization in the latest high grade intercept is markedly different from the past and it almost wasn’t assayed. And Eastfield notes that several other holes with similar silica-carbonate alteration were not assayed either.
“This encounter represents a subtle form of mineralization and will obviously require further sampling in a number of holes,” the company emphasizes. Anomalous gold values have been reported in sludge samples in several unsampled drill holes, the company adds. A private placement is being negotiated to fund additional work.
