Stakeholder Gold Corp. (TSXV:SRC) has released the results from 18 holes of a planned 30-hole drill program completed on the Eastern zone of the Ballarat property, Dawson Range, Yukon.
The program totaled just over 1,728 m (hole 16 was abandoned at 35 m) with all but two holes reaching 100 m depth. The holes targeted a combination of gold-anomalous soil samples and interpreted structures based on induced polarization and resistivity surveys over a formational strike length of 500 m, NE-SW. The gold-in-soil anomaly extends further to the northeast by at least another 100 m, but this area was not drill tested due to inclement weather conditions which resulted in this year’s planned drill program being cut short.
Several holes intersected isolated zones that ran up to 1.5 g/t gold in single samples (1.5 m), but bracketed by broader zones of <1 g/t gold material (up to 12 m). All holes except one were drilled inclined to the northwest or southeast, perpendicular to the formational strike and interpreted trend of the anomalies.
Further evaluation of these results will be done over the winter months to develop a strategy for 2017. As yet, the northeastern end of the Eastern Zone, the newly-discovered Skye zone, 1,500 m southwest of the Eastern zone, and the Northwest zone have not been drill tested. There are several new gold-in-soil targets that have been identified in 2016, which are located between the Northwest and Eastern zones.
The 2016 exploration program was designed and carried out by GroundTruth Exploration Inc. of Dawson City, Yukon.
Increased Ground Position
The Company staked an additional 168 claims in the most recent Quarter: 146 south of and 22 north of the Ballarat property; these new claims are contiguous with the existing ones (see diagram attached to this document).
