BONTERRA EXTENDS MULTIPLE ZONES AT GLADIATOR GOLD DEPOSIT
The continuing resource development program at Bonterra Resources Inc.'s Gladiator gold deposit has extended the north, footwall and main zones by 200 metres down plunge to the east. High-grade intersections identified in stepout drilling east of the known mineralization demonstrates the potential for further expansion of the Gladiator deposit, which remains open in all directions.
Bonterra continues to advance the development of the Gladiator gold deposit through definition drilling across all mineralized horizons. Follow-up on previous stepout drilling has led to significant results at multiple zones, including 26.7 grams per tonne gold over 3.1 metres at the north zone and 15.8 g/t Au over 3.3 mat the main zone.
Dale Ginn, vice-president, exploration, stated: "Bonterra once again delivers strong results from its resource development program at the Gladiator gold deposit. To that effect, we currently have four drills at the deposit to continue with stepout and definition drilling. Recent drill results highlight both the predictability of the mineralized zones and the potential for further expansion of high-grade ore shoots at depth. The current stepout drilling demonstrates the potential to expand the Gladiator deposit, which remains open in all directions."
Highlights and observations:
Hole BA-17-53B extends the north, footwall and main zones by 200 m down plunge to the east with 6.2 g/t Au over 1.9 m, 4.8 g/t Au over 3.5 m and 4.9 g/t Au over 1.8 m.Hole BA-17-45B intersected the main and south zones 650 m below surface with 15.8 g/t Au over 3.3 m adding further definition to the high-grade core of the main zone.Hole BA-17-46 intersected the north zone with 26.7 g/t Au over 3.1 m and the main zone with 8.8 g/t Au over three m, demonstrating the continuity of these zones.Results from six recent drill holes expand the size and demonstrate the continuity of the north, footwall, main and south zones.To date, continuity of mineralization is now confirmed over a total drilled strike length on at least four horizons (north, footwall, main and south) of 1,200 m, as well as a drilled depth of 1,000 m.
