Drilling resumes at Dubuisson Discovery
VAL D'OR, QC - Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. reported that drilling has resumed on its 100% owned Dubuisson Discovery located three kilometres east of its Kiena mine in Val d'Or, Quebec.
A barge-mounted drill has been mobilized and will be joined in July by a
second one. During the drilling season, which extends until early November,
the Company intends to complete at least 25,000 metres of drilling. The
purpose of the drilling is to define the dimensions, internal continuity and
geometry of a new gold occurrence discovered last fall. At that time, six 100
metre-spaced, 2-hole sections were completed from the surface of Lac de
Montigny before the ice set in.
To date, the mineralized system has been traced for 500 metres in an ESE
direction. True widths are currently unknown. The internal continuity,
geometry and orientation of the mineralization were not previously established
with the widely-spaced nature of the drilling pattern.
It is Wesdome's intention to answer these questions with 50 metre-spaced
infill drilling and to stepout to delineate the system's dimensions. Drilling
will focus on depths above 400 metres. We hope to be in a position to quantify
the potential of this new find with a preliminary resource estimate towards
the end of the year.
