High Desert Gold Reports Continued Drilling Success
VANCOUVER, BC - High Desert Gold Corporation has now completed 43 reverse circulation drill holes in the 2013 drill program on its 100% owned Gold Springs project. Thirty-one of these holes were drilled in the Grey Eagle Zone on the Nevada side of the project and 12 holes, drilled earlier this year, were located in the Jumbo Trend on the Utah side of the project.
Ralph Fitch President and CEO stated, "Again, results from the five holes drilled along the Grey Eagle Trend continue to expand the mineralized zone both to depth and to the southwest along the Grey Eagle Trend. This bodes well for future drill results and potential resource expansion.
The best results were obtained from three holes in the centre of the Main Zone at Grey Eagle located approximately 150 meters southwest of the original discovery holes, GE-12-001 and 002, which included the near surface intersection of 21 m of 5.6 g/t gold within 63 m of 2.1 g/t gold. These new holes, GE-13-008, GE-13-009 and GE-13-021, expand the mineralized zone down dip and further to the northwest of previously reported holes GE-13-003 and 004. Importantly, the holes in this area show excellent continuity of good grade from near surface to a depth of 140 meters. GE-13-021, a near vertical hole, located northwest of the GE-13-009 drill intercept, intersected a vertical column of 111 meters grading 0.6 g/t AuEq starting 36 meters below the surface. All of these holes were drilled on Grey Eagle Drill Section 5.
The mineralized zone on this Section is expected to be extended further to the northwest by two additional holes, GE-13-028 and GE-13-029, for which the Company does not yet have assays. These holes, designed to test the down-dip projection of the mineralization, exhibit similar veining and total vein thicknesses to that seen in GE-12-021. Samples from both holes (GE-13-028 and GE-13-029) are in the laboratory for analysis with assays pending.
