Marathon Gold (TSX:MOZ) is pleased to announce the excellent results from drill holes MA-19-350, MA-19-351 and MA-19-352, which were strategically located between existing, strongly mineralized drill holes in the open pit portion of the Marathon deposit.
As quoted in the press release:
“The infill holes are adding confidence to our model and providing better definition of the mineralization. As with all infill programs, we expect there will be changes to the resources. So far, we see good correlation of the mineralization as predicted by the geological model including the presence of visible gold,” said Phillip Walford, President and CEO of Marathon Gold. “These new gold intersections are expected to upgrade Inferred material to Measured and Indicated resources while also adding additional Inferred material. Assays are pending on more drill holes located along the strike length of the deposit (Figure 1), all of which have intersected wide intervals of QTP veining with abundant visible gold. All initial fire assay analysis above 0.1 g/t Au are further assayed using the metallic screen method which more accurately reflects free gold content and typically shows a significant increase in grade for material over 1.5 g/t Au at the Marathon Deposit.”
