Evolving Gold Expands Carlin-Humboldt Gold System
VANCOUVER - Evolving Gold Corp. reported assays from three drill holes from the Arch Gold Zone at its Carlin gold project, Nevada. Diamond drill holes CAR-011, -012 and -013 all intersected significant gold mineralization including 60.4 meters at 1.28 grams per tonne gold in CAR-013, 32.6m at 1.10 g/t gold in CAR-011 and 6.1m at 2.42 g/t gold in CAR-012. Ongoing core drilling programs continue to focus on defining a high grade core to this large gold system, as already suggested by results previously reported such as 18.3m at 11.7 g/t gold, including 1.5m at 57.9 g/t gold, and 10.1m at 11.1 g/t gold, including 3.1m at 29.8 g/t gold.
The gold grades and long intervals of gold mineralization from holes CAR-011, -012 and -013 are highly anomalous. Including the most recent intervals, all 9 core-drill holes at the Arch Gold Zone have intersected significant quantities of gold. These long intervals of gold mineralization expand the already large footprint of this gold system with total drilling outlining a 1,000m by 600m Carlin-style gold system that is open in all directions.
Diamond drill hole CAR-011, a vertical hole situated 115m north of hole CAR-007, intersected 32.6m at 1.10 g/t Au (107 feet at 0.032 oz/t) beginning at 1167.1m. This gold horizon correlates well with the lowermost gold-bearing unit intersected in CAR-007 (25.9m at 2.10 g/t Au beginning at 1170.7m announced Feb. 25, 2010).
Diamond drill hole CAR-012, a vertical hole situated 130 meters southwest of hole CAR-007, encountered 6.1m at 2.42 g/t Au (20 feet at 0.071 oz/t ) including 1.5m at 7.57 g/t Au (5 feet at 0.221 oz/t ) beginning at 713.2m. This interval correlates well with a zone of gold mineralization intersected in CAR-007 (7.6m at 5.5 g/t Au beginning at 759.1m).
Two long intervals of anomalous gold were encountered deeper in CAR-012, starting at 737.6m and 1,181.7m.
Diamond drill hole CAR-013, a vertical hole situated 350 meters northeast of CAR-007, encountered 60.4m at 1.28 g/t Au (198 feet at 0.037 oz/t) including 31.7m at 2.03 g/t Au (104 feet at 0.059 oz/t) beginning at 1270.1m. This interval corresponds well with that intersected in holes CAR-011 and -007 described above.
An additional long interval of anomalous gold was encountered deeper in CAR-013 starting at 1,367.9m.
Abundant realgar, orpiment and stibnite are associated with the gold interval in CAR-013, something observed in hole CAR-002 approximately 530m south (announced July 31, 2009).
The company recognizes it is exploring an extensive, powerful gold system in one of the world╒s great gold camps. Our drilling has already intersected grades and thicknesses of mineralization that are characteristic of existing underground mines in the area. Early drilling results as a whole are consistent with the early stages of exploration at these mines. Defining the high-grade center of this large gold system is the main focus of Evolving Gold╒s exploration program on the Arch project.saud Steven Koehler, Chief Geologist of Evolving Gold.
