Alto Ventures Ltd. (TSXV:ATV) announced results from 38 glacial till samples collected this year at its Ontario-based Miner Lake gold project.
As quoted in the press release:
Gold grains were recovered from 36 till samples and twenty one of these samples contain one or more grains described as “pristine”. Pristine grains are delicate pieces of free gold that are generally interpreted to have been derived from sources close to the sampling sites. Five samples contain over 100 gold grains each including numerous pristine grains; one sample contains 578 gold grains of which 471 of the gold grains are described as pristine.
Rick Mazur, CEO of Alto Ventures, commented:
We are very encouraged by these results from Miner Lake as Alto continues to develop its portfolio of gold properties while also advancing our diamond interests in the Pikoo diamond district in Saskatchewan. The previous discoveries of persistent and widespread gold mineralization associated with hydrothermal breccia zones and the detection of the current gold grains-in-till anomalies in other areas of the Miner Lake property are strong indicators for the presence of a large gold-mineralizing system.
