MAPLE GOLD TARGETS HIGH-GRADE EXTENSION AT SE EDGE OF PORPHYRY ZONE
Maple Gold Mines Ltd. has received its fourth and final permit and is now fully permitted for all drill sites and is ramping up significantly with five drill rigs now on site. The Douay gold project hosts several known higher-grade plums with variable diameters, with limited follow-up drilling within 100 metres to 250 metres in several directions in some cases, and therefore these areas represent a significant opportunity to add higher-grade resources to the deposit.
Figures associated with this news release are available on-line.
Maple Gold is currently drilling one of these high-priority extension targets on the southeast edge of the Porphyry zone with a fence of three drill holes that will aim to extend that mineralization beyond the current resource model. This drilling will build on previous intercepts of 4.08 grams per tonne gold (uncut) over 28 meters from 82 m, including 8.4 g/t Au over 11 m in hole DO-11-61, as well as 2.33 g/t Au (uncut) over 24.4 m from 120.4 m in hole D93-16 (all lengths are down the hole).
Maple Gold's president and chief executive officer, Matthew Hornor, stated: "Our team spent significant time generating drill targets during the back half of 2017. Now that we received our final permit last week, we are ramping up and moving drill rigs to our most exciting targets. Drill results will be announced in batches as drilling is completed on specific target areas so our shareholders can follow the progress of our various objectives."
