Trek Mining Confirms Extension of Piaba Gold Deposit

Trek Mining Inc. (TSXV: TREK) (“Trek” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that initial drilling in Piaba West has intersected 3.90 grams per tonne gold (“g/t Au”) over 11.0 metres in a step-out drill hole located 300 metres along strike of the currently defined Piaba gold deposit at its 100%-owned Aurizona Gold Mine (“Aurizona”) in Brazil. Results from the initial 18 shallow holes totalling 1,594 metres have successfully demonstrated that significant gold mineralization persists below the shallow, westernmost reserve pit and that the Piaba gold deposit extends along strike at least 300 metres to the west.
As quoted in the press release:

“Encountering ore grade intercepts along strike is exactly the result we were looking for,” said Scott Heffernan, EVP Exploration of Trek. “Drilling at Piaba West is ongoing and will further test the continuity of mineralization along strike from current gold reserves in the Piaba gold deposit.”
