Pilot Gold Announces 1.59 g/t Gold and 0.48 Percent Copper Over 130.9 Meters From Surface at Valley Porphyry Discovery

Pilot Gold Inc. (TSX:PLG) reported results from the first five follow-up holes on the new Valley Porphyry discovery in northwest Turkey. All holes returned long runs of copper and gold mineralization beginning at surface.

As quoted in the press release:

Initial drilling of the 1,400 metre by 400 metre copper–gold soil anomaly returned 0.99 g/t gold (Au) and 0.39% copper (Cu) over 153.1 metres (see press release dated June 11, 2014). Follow-up drilling extended porphyry mineralization up to 85 metres from the discovery hole with the system remaining open in all directions.

Pilot Gold President and CEO, Matt Lennox-King, said:

While still early days in our exploration of the Valley Porphyry, we are incredibly excited with the progress at the target and the potential synergies with our PEA stage Halilaga joint venture project just 15 kilometres away. TV Tower continues to be incredibly prospective with an emerging porphyry district positioning it as the leading exploration project in Turkey.
