AM Gold Extends Mineralization 200 Meters East and Confirms New Gold Zone at ... - MarketWatch (press release)
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Sep 12, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- AM Gold Inc. /quotes/zigman/600560 CA:AMG -2.70% (frankfurt:AMX) ("AM Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the first assay results of the 2011 exploration program at Red Mountain, Yukon Territory Canada. To date, a total of approximately 7,850 meters of core has been cut from 23 holes drilled east, west and north of the resource area. Assay results have been returned from the first 5 holes of the program, with partial results for Drill Hole ICE11045.
Drill Hole ICE11040 was collared approximately 100m south-southeast of ICE10039 (results previously announced November 22, 2010) and was drilled north-northeast at minus 50 degrees to test the extension of mineralization at the northern fringe of the Jethro Structure. Drill Hole ICE11041 was collared approximately 170m southeast of ICE10039 and was drilled north-northeast at minus 50 degrees, also at the northern fringe and away from the trend of mineralization along the Jethro Structure. Drill Hole ICE11042 was collared approximately 120m south of ICE10038 (results previously announced November 22, 2010) and was drilled to the north-northeast at minus 50 degrees to test mineralization south of the resource area. Drill Hole ICE11044 was collared approximately 170m east of ICE10039 and was drilled north-northeast at minus 55 degrees as an overshot to ICE11041 to test ground even further north of the Jethro structure. ICE11040, ICE11041 and ICE11042 indicate the extension of mineralization to a distance of approximately 200m beyond the east end of the resource area along the Jethro Trend and have quantified the extent and tenor of the dissemination of mineralization north and south of the trend. Hole ICE11044 was drilled to a distance several hundred meters north and off the strength of the trend with low grade mineralization over the entire length of the hole.
Drill Hole ICE11043 was collared approximately 250m northwest of ICE10028 (results previously announced September 28, 2010) and was drilled east at minus 50 degrees to test the new zone of mineralization discovered by ICE10037 (announced November 30, 2010) north of the Jethro Trend at the conclusion of the 2010 drill campaign. Hole ICE11045 was collard at the west end of the resource area approximately 90m west-northwest of ICE10028 and was drilled north-northeast at minus 50 degrees to extend the mineralization north and away from the Jethro Trend and to test the new zone of mineralization at depth. Assay results from the bottom 161m of ICE11045 are pending.
Assay results from the first 258m of ICE11045 have significantly extended gold mineralization to the north at the west end of the resource area. Assay results from Hole ICE11043 support last year's results from ICE10037 and the occurrence of a second zone of mineralization separate and distinct from the Jethro Zone. Several additional holes have subsequently been drilled north of the resource area with assay results expected over the coming weeks.
"We are very pleased to have extended mineralization at the east end of the resource with the first four holes of the program and look forward to later results on the eastward projection of the zone" said Vice President of Exploration, Neil Downey. "Confirmation of the discovery of a new zone north of the resource area has added great potential to the entire property position."
Assay results for Drill Holes ICE11040, ICE11041, ICE11042, ICE11043, ICE11044 and partial results for ICE11045 are summarized in the table below:
