BONTERRA EXTENDS GLADIATOR GOLD DEPOSIT FURTHER WESTWARD 17.8 G/T AU INTERSECTED OVER 3.0 METERS
Bonterra Resources Inc. has released the latest results from the continuing winter drilling campaign at the Gladiator gold deposit, including an intersection of 17.8 grams per tonne gold over 3.0 metres. High-grade intersections extend multiple zones westward, adding strike length at the Rivage gap and continue to demonstrate the continuity of the deposit, highlighting the predictability of the mineralized zones. The continuing drilling campaign, totalling 70,000 metres in 2018, includes infill and definition drilling at the Gladiator gold deposit. Multiple drill holes are in the lab with assays pending.
Highlights and observations:
Results from four recent drill holes demonstrate the continuity of the Gladiator gold deposit. The four drill holes were drilled on the ice and focused on the western side of the deposit. Two holes, BA-18-07 and BA-18-08, extend the near-surface strike length of multiple zones westward at the Rivage gap, an area with minimal drilling.Hole BA-18-05 intersected 9.3 grams per tonne gold over 3.1 m at the north zone, 4.2 g/t Au over 1.5 m at the footwall zone, 6.9 g/t Au over 1.3 m at the main zone and 3.5 g/t Au over 1.2 m at the Barbeau zone. Multiple intersections in BA-18-05 confirm the continuous nature of the modelled mineralized zones.Hole BA-18-06 intersected 6.1 g/t Au over 2.5 m at 350 m depth the south zone and 4.7 g/t Au over 2.0 m at 200 m depth in the north zone.Holes BA-18-07 and BA-18-08 added near-surface strike length to the north and south zones at the Rivage gap. BA-18-07 intersected the north zone with 8.8 g/t Au over 1.3 and the south zone at 5.8 g/t Au over 1.2 m. BA-18-08 intersected 17.8 g/t Au over 3.0 m at the south zone.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 over 1,000 m.
Hole BA-18-07 intersected the north zone near surface with 8.8 g/t over 1.3 m and the south zone at 230 m depth with 5.8 g/t Au over 1.2 m.BA-18-07 is the most western hole drilled in 2018 at the Gladiator gold deposit so far, with anomalous gold intersected across all mineralized horizons. Results from BA-18-07 extend multiple mineralized zones to the west, adding over 100 m of strike length near surface.
BA-18-08 intersected 17.8 g/t Au over 3.0 mat the south zone at 250 m depth. This intersection occurs in an area with minimal drilling and confirms the continuity of the south zone on the western side of the Gladiator deposit.
The seven-drill, 30,000 m winter drilling campaign, is part of the continuing resource development program at the Gladiator gold deposit. Bonterra continues to advance the development of the Gladiator gold deposit through definition drilling across all mineralized horizons.
