Anaconda Mining Returns 20 Metres of 2.15 g/t Gold in Additional Drilling at Pine Cove

Anaconda Mining Inc. (TSX:ANX) announced results from additional drilling at the Pine Cove mine in Newfoundland.

As quoted in the press release:

Highlights:

Western Extension Area

• Hole PC-13-202 intersected multiple intervals of gold mineralization including 20.0 metres of 2.15 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold from a depth of 73.1 metres and 12.7 metres of 1.28 g/t gold from a depth of 108.9 metres;
• Hole PC-13-203 intersected 4.0 metres of 2.21 g/t gold from a depth of 108.0 metres;
• New mineralization encountered within the ultimate pit limit boundary, but outside of the existing mine plan; and
• 1,000-metre follow-up drill program is underway to expand this new zone and assess potential for open pit extension and mining cost reductions.

Anaconda’s President and CEO, Dustin Angelo, said:

The western extension area, a new mineralized zone on the fringe of our open pit, continues to show promise. The mineralized zone remains open to the northwest and we’ve initiated a second round of drilling to potentially expand the mineralization in this direction. This area has not been previously drill tested and the presence of unexplained coincident historic gold-in-soil geochemical and chargeability anomalies highlight the potential for additional discoveries.
