ESO Uranium Corp. CVE:ESO) reports that it has began drilling at the Donna gold property on Monashee Mountain,Vernon, BC.
The press release is quoted as saying:
The results for gold and its pathfinder metals indicated a strongly anomalous zone that extends west from the trenching and is open (as yet undrilled) further to the west along the soils anomaly. Highlights from ESO’s late 2010 drilling program included:
- DDH10-4 from 14.8 – 15.3 m high sulphide interval of 0.5 meters with 19.35 g/t gold within a 2.3 meter vein system at approximately true width, with a grade of 3.8 g/t gold; and
- DDH10-5: Quartz with sulphide veining in 7.5 meters with a grade of 1.67 g/t gold, at approximately true width.
Sampling by ESO in September of 2009 returned a chip sample over 3 meters horizontal along a flat lying quartz vein with 12.3g/t gold within the trenched area. While some samples show significantly high gold values, the main exploration target is a bulk tonnage gold-silver deposit that could be hosted by the quartz stockwork and the dioritic dykes.
