ESO Uranium Corp. (CVE:ESO) reports that it has completed a thirteen (13) hole, 1633 meter drill program in its option to earn a 100% interest in the Donna gold property, in South Central British Columbia.
The press release is quoted as saying:
The drill program was designed to further test the area of earlier drilling and trenching, and possible down-dip mineral extension to the west. Eight of the core holes intersected intervals of “strong sulphide mineralization”, similar to mineralized exposures in trenching that carried significant gold values. Quartz veining carrying pyrite, stibnite, minor chalcocite and arsenopyrite was recovered with bleached alteration envelopes extending into the host dioritic and skarn rocks.
A 2010 drill program by ESO tested targets on the central and western parts of a gold anomaly in soils that extends more than 1,600 meters (5,300 feet) along the height of land between the Kettle River and Yeoward Creek, which are both historical gold placer producers. The gold soil anomaly is partially coincident with historical trenching and drilling. Soil sampling by ESO in July 2010 had shown extensions of the gold anomaly with values of up to 0.7 g/t gold in soil.
