Eagle Hill Exploration Finds Additional High-grade Gold Mineralization Along Strike and at Depth, and Extends Zone 27 with Drill Intersections Including 11.2 g/t Over 37.3 Metres and ... - Seite 3
Section 2300 | EAG-13-512 | 3.9 g/t gold over 15.0 m from 292.0 m |
inc. | 19.4 g/t gold over 2.5 m from 304.0 m | |
Section 2675 | EAG-13-511 | 6.3 g/t gold over 8.1 m from 671.0 m |
inc. | 48.2 g/t gold over 0.8 m from 675.0 m |
In addition, Eagle Hill continued to intersect high-grade gold mineralization in the Mink Lens, located between the Caribou Lens and Zone 27. The Mink Lens is smaller than Zone 27 but accounts for approximately 10% of the current mineral resource at Windfall Lake. The following intervals extended the known dimensions of the Mink Lens:
Section 2650 | EAG-13-513 | 11.0 g/t gold over 4.7 m from 661.3 m |
Section 2825 | EAG-13-516 | 6.4 g/t gold over 3.2 m from 340.3 m |
Drilling at Depth
Eagle Hill drilled three holes for 1,459 metres below Red Dog to test the extension of Zone 27 gold mineralization identified with EAG-12-320 (5.5 g/t gold over 15.0 m, see Eagle Hill press release dated March 1, 2012). Two wedges were set in EAG-12-320 and EAG-11-294 was extended. Drilling confirmed continuity of the mineralization over a distance of more than 40 metres. Results include:
Section 2500 | EAG-13-320-W1 | 37.3 g/t gold over 11.2 m from 752.5 m |
inc. | 166.5 g/t gold over 0.6 m from 755.5 m | |
and | 289.0 g/t gold over 0.8 m from 785.2 m | |
Section 2500 | EAG-13-294-EXT | 12.3 g/t gold over 3.2 m from 710.1 m |

This drilling program and the on-going geological modelling has confirmed that the bulk of the gold mineralization is hosted in Zone 27, a sub-vertical lens extending from surface to a depth of 500 metres. This main gold-bearing lens is intimately associated with a sub-vertical porphyry dyke. Gold mineralization intersected below Red Dog is also associated with a porphyry dyke that extends further at depth.
