Additional good drilling results have been obtained from the Elder property in northwestern Quebec, west of the old stopes between the 12th (1,625-ft) and 14th (2,020-ft) levels, Aunore Resources reports.
Aunore, the operator, has a 65% interest in the property; Nova Beaucage Mines holds the other 35%.
Among the better results from the No 1 vein are: hole No 13-24, 0.21 oz gold per ton across 10.9 ft; hole No 13-21, 0.2 oz across 9.3 ft; and hole No 13-19, 0.19 oz across 9.6 ft.
Holes 13-19 to 13-32 were fan- drilled from a drill station on the 13th level in the hangingwall of vein No 1, on section 5475E, and the results confirm the presence of a probable ore zone between the 13th and 14th levels in that area, the company reports.
Holes 13-33 to 13-45 were also fan-drilled from the drill station on the 13th level located in the footwall of vein No 1, on section 5140E, and these holes indicate non- economic values which could be left in pillars during the eventual mining operations, reports the company. Holes 13-42 and 13-44 indicate an extension of the possible ore zone towards the west.
Holes with an economic potential (12 such holes are indicated by the company) averaged 0.15 oz across a true width of 9.3 ft. This width is at least 50% better than the width exposed in the old drifts of the mine, Aunore reports.
