Drilling at the Windfall (50:50) joint venture property of Murgor Resources (MUG-V) and Freewest Resources Canada (FWR-V) in the Abitibi region, northwest Quebec, has hit high gold grades over wide intervals.
The latest drilling (16 holes totalling 1,855 metres since mid-February) is highlighted by one hole, which cut 12 grams gold over 17 metres, at a down hole depth of 69 metres, in the F11 zone.
F11 is hosted by highly altered, chloritized, rhyolite cut by minor quartz veining. Gold is associated with pyrite and magnetite within a northeast-trending, steeply-north-dipping horizon.
Assays are pending for five other holes drilled into this zone.
Eleven holes tested the F17 zone, highlighted by hole 20, which cut 10.5 grams gold per tonne over an 11-metre interval at a down hole depth of 29 metres.
Hole 21, drilled about 8 metres to the north, but at a steeper angle (70 rather than 50) cut an upper zone at 13 metres down hole, which graded 10 grams gold over 4 metres, and a lower zone at 79 metres, which graded 9.3 grams gold over 11 metres.
Three holes hit grades as high as 17-59 grams gold per tonne over widths of 1-3 metres.
Of the six other holes, three cut 1.2-2.8 grams gold over widths of 1-3 metres, and three failed to cut significant values. Four of these holes tested a strong induced polarization chargeability anomaly southwest of zone 17. The anomaly remains unexplained.
The gold in Zone 17 is interpreted to be hosted by stacked sub-horizontal lenses within a northeast-trending, steeply north-dipping shear zone. The lenses seem to plunge towards the southwest.
Drilling continues to test additional geophysical anomalies on this 90-sq.-km property.
Drilling is also testing the northeast extension of the Barry gold prospect in adjacent Barry township, following the identification of deep induced polarization anomalies.
