BonTerra Extends Western Extension of the Gladiator Deposit by 150 m to 600 m with 2.5 m of 137.4 g/t Gold (news with additional features) - Seite 2
- The Gladiator Deposits, to-date, are outlined over a strike length of
600 m long by 450 m deep, where 23 new drill holes (2015 and 2016) have
extended the main deposits and discovered 3 new parallel zones;
- New drill information demonstrates that three zones (Footwall, Main and
Intrusive) continue along strike, while three new zones (North Shear 1,
North Shear 2 and South) have been identified both to the north and
south of the previously known zones.
- 8,300 m drilled during 2016 in 19 holes on the western extension of
Gladiator Deposit;
- Visible gold was identified in 16 of the 19 holes.
*Stated lengths are core width as drilled, true widths have not yet been
determined.
Dale Ginn, Vice President of Exploration of BonTerra, added: "While many
gold deposits of the Archean shear hosted type are characterized by
numerous plunging bodies of relatively short length along a fault
structure, Gladiator is demonstrating remarkable continuity along strike
and to depth while the presence of mineralized felsic intrusive along the
structures is also indicative strength in the system. Our experience and
knowledge of the system was greatly enhanced by our 2016 Winter Drill
Program and we look forward to applying our knowledge towards the east."
Upcoming Program and Next Steps
The western extension of the Gladiator Deposit was targeted based on
interpretation of recent geophysical programs and extension of known data
from the existing Gladiator zones. With the ice drilling program now
complete for the winter season, the project will now focus on the eastern
Gladiator Deposit;
- Visible gold was identified in 16 of the 19 holes.
