BONTERRA INTERSECTS 37.5 G/T AU OVER 3.3 M AT GLADIATOR DEPOSIT
Bonterra Resources Inc. has released the latest drilling results from the continuing resource development program at the Gladiator deposit, including and intersections of 37.5 grams per tonne gold over 3.3 metresat the south zone. Stepout drilling continues to reveal new areas of high-grade mineralization and expand known extents of mineralization. Recent definition drilling results demonstrate the continuity of mineralization in multiple zones.
Highlights and observations:
BA-18-63 intersected the South zone with 37.5 grams per tonne gold over 3.3 metres, proving continuity of the high-grade trend within the zone.BA-18-63 also intersected multiple structures at the Main zone with 9.1 g/t Au over 1.0 mand 8.9 g/t Au over 1.0 m.BA-18-64 intersected the Footwall, Main and South zones demonstrating the continuity of gold-bearing quartz veins across multiple zones.BA-18-65 intersected the North zone with 11.9 g/t Au over 2.0 m and extended the Main zone down plunge with 11.3 g/t Au over 1.6 m.BA-18-65 also expanded the South zone, extending the zone toward surface at 700 m depth with 9.8 g/t Au over 2.0 m.BA-18-67A further defines the Main zone with 8.5 g/t Au over 2.0 m, proving the continuity of the zone at 400 m below surface.BA-18-69 extended the Main zone in the Rivage area with 9.0 g/t Au over 2.0 m. This intersection expands the zone down plunge and opens up the Rivage area for further extension at depth.
The continuing resource development program continues to expand and define the Gladiator gold deposit ahead of the updated mineral resource estimate scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2018. Drilling to be included in the upcoming mineral resource estimate has now been completed. Drilling continues with three drills at the deposit focused on extension drilling along strike to the northeast and southwest.
