Drilling was highlighted by hole 27, which cut 106 metres grading 5.6 grams gold per tonne at a down-hole depth of 432 metres. The interval is included in a 135-metre intercept of 4.75 grams gold.
Hole 27 also intersected several narrower zones, the highlight being 29 metres grading 2.1 grams gold at 59 metres down-hole.
Two other holes also hit multiple zones. The most significant, hole 26, cut 5.6 metres grading 20.58 grams gold at 232 metres down-hole. This grade is reduced to 10.6 grams gold when the gold grade is cut to 25 grams gold per tonne.
Hole 28, drilled from the same setup as hole 26 (but at 60 rather than 47) cut 40.6 metres grading 1.1 grams gold at 262 metres down-hole, followed by 99 metres grading 1.6 grams gold at 391.5 metres down-hole.
Drilling continues to test this area, as well as the area between the East Walcott zone and Rory’s Knoll.
The 656-sq.-km Aurora property includes the Aleck Hill area, where high-grade gold was mined in the 1940s. Rory’s Knoll is 1.6 km east of this past producer.
