Strongbow Exploration Inc. (TSXV:SBW) provided an exploration update on its gold exploration properties in North and South Carolina, USA, including the Midway, Ridgeway and Parker gold projects.
As quoted in the press release:
Midway Project: Planning is currently underway for a two staged drilling program in the first half of 2012. The initial campaign will involve an overburden drill that will allow for a comprehensive evaluation of all of the geochemical anomalies down to bedrock.
Ridgeway Project: Strongbow has completed detailed geochemical surveys of four of the properties, including two properties where previous drilling defined a zone of gold mineralization (the Lloyd zone) over a 250 m strike length. Gold assays from this drilling ranged from background values up to 2.4 g/t over 25.9 m. Strongbow’s geochemical surveys have outlined a prominent 300 m by 350 m multi-element geochemical anomaly that is coincident with the Lloyd zone, as well as a new 200 m by 300 m anomaly located 600 m to the southwest.
Parker Gold Mine: Strongbow has also received results for an eight hole, 1,400 m drilling program at the company’s Parker gold mine property in North Carolina. The purpose of the program was to test if a larger mineralized system is present beneath historic gold workings on this never before drilled property. All eight drill holes encountered narrow zones of weak to moderate silicification and quartz veining.
Regional Exploration Work: A number of target areas have been defined by this regional work and follow up surveys are planned and property acquisition efforts are underway.
