Corvus Gold Inc. (TSX:KOR,OTCQX:CORVF) reported that step-out drilling, particularly Hole NB-13-227, collared in alluvial cover more than 100 metres to the west of the currently known Sierra Blanca deposit and encountered 38 metres of 0.5 g/t gold starting at 17 metres in depth, immediately below gravel cover.
As quoted in the press release:
This intersection, which is the first test of the western pediment, opens the door to a significant expansion of the deposit to the west. The mineralization is hosted by dacitic volcanic units which have been a poor host in other areas and suggests close proximity to a strong mineralizing system.
The high silver to gold ratio of 250 to 1 in this new structure zone could be an early indication of another Yellowjacket type high-grade system is operating on the west flank of Sierra Blanca. Similar silver-rich mineralization was also found in hole NB-13-220 (reported July 10, 2013, NR-13-16) along a structure to the north of NB-13-228 (Figure 1). This new highly attractive structural target will be followed up with core drilling in the future.
