VICTORIA GOLD: NEW TARGET, SPINACH, RESULTS INCLUDE 5.0M @ 4.26 G/T AU, DUBLIN GULCH, YUKON
Victoria Gold Corp. has received additional analytical results from the continuing 2017 Dublin Gulch exploration campaign. These results include the first 11 exploration drill holes at the Spinach target, a previously untested area north of the Olive-Shamrock deposit. The Spinach target is the latest area to be tested on the Potato Hills trend mineralization model. Two thousand seventeen exploration at the Spinach target included soils geochemistry surveys, geologic mapping, trenches and diamond drilling focused on assessing the gold mineralization potential of the northern contact margin of the Dublin Gulch intrusive stock. Previous exploration work in this area had been restricted to mapping and only limited soils geochemical sampling. However, prior to drilling this season Victoria conducted a detailed soils geochemical survey over the target area and utilized these results to assist targeting subsequent Spinach trenches and drill holes.
Highlights from these first Spinach target holes include:
14.3 metres at 1.04 grams per tonne gold from 85.3 metres in drill hole DG17-866C;
9.1 metres at 1.19 g/t gold from 33.5 metres in drill hole DG17-862C;
6.10 metres at 2.38 g/t gold from 24.4 metres in drill hole DG17-860C;
5.0 metres at 4.26 g/t gold from 81.9 metres in drill hole DG17-857C;
32.0 metres at 0.78 g/t gold from 22.9 metres in drill hole DG17-853C.
