In the summer of 2017, the company completed a 1,000-meter drill program to target high-grade, near-surface gold intercepts based on new 3D modeling. In September 2017, the company announced the widest and highest-grade intercept on the property to date: 10.4 meters grading 16.84 g/t gold. Results from the 2018 drill program included 16.35 meters grading 26.91g/t gold and 7.00 meters grading 68.76 g/t gold.
Great Bear is currently in the middle of completing a 90,000-meter drill program at its Dixie project. So far, the company has been able to identify three new zones of mineralization and expand the Hinge zone to depth.
According to Great Bear President and CEO Chris Taylor, there are many similarities between the mineral controlling geology for the Red Lake mine and the geology seen at the Dixie project.
“We continue to expand the robust and fertile gold system at our flagship Dixie project,” said Taylor. “Our latest drill results suggest excellent continuity of high-grade gold mineralization at the primary gold-hosting contact of the DLZ from surface to a vertical depth of approximately 150 metres. Historical drilling suggests that gold mineralization extends to at least 450 metres vertical depth and remains open to extension both at depth and along strike, which Great Bear will continue to drill-test.”
Great Bear is led by a strong management team and board of directors with a solid background in the mining and financial sectors. The company’s VP of Exploration, Bob Singh has decades of experience in evaluating, exploring and advancing base and precious metals systems for both junior and major mining companies. Great Bear Director Dr. David Terry is a professional economic geologist with years of experience internationally in senior executive and corporate director roles in the resources sector. Great Bear Advisor John Robins brings over 30 years of experience to the company. He is currently the Executive Chairman for Kaminak Gold Corporation and won the H.H. “Spud” Huestis Award in 2008 for his exploration work.
