Eagle Hill Exploration Corporation(TSXV:EAG) announced its first assay results from Windfall Lake gold deposit, Quebec. The results from the Company’s 25,000 meter drill program are part of an ongoing program.
Highlights include:
Drill hole EAG-12-393 returned a wide mineralized interval assaying 11.8 g/t Gold over 47.2 meters. The gold mineralization starts at only 40 meters below the surface and extends down to 80 meters below surface. This significant gold mineralization was intersected 25 meters to the east of drill hole EAG-12-318, drilled earlier this year, which returned 22.85 g/t Gold over 25.0 meters at only 50 meters below surface. The new drilling confirms the lateral extent of the near surface and very wide gold mineralization which is hosted in altered rhyolite and porphyry dykes and consists of up to 40 percent pyrite stringers and disseminated pyrite.
Eagle Hill Exploration, Chief Geologist, Jean-Philippe Desrochers, said:
We are very excited about the results of the near surface drilling. With such significant results close to surface, we have decided to systematically drill-test the upper extension of Zone 27. Our objective is to delineate gold mineralization that could be extracted by open pit method.Additional gold intercepts of this nature and close to surface could clearly change the economic parameters at the Windfall Lake gold deposit.
