The West Rim Is A Newly Discovered At-Surface Gold Zone
MONTREAL - Troilus Gold Corp. reported the discovery of a new gold zone named the ‘West Rim Zone’ located within 200 metres west of the North Reserve Pit Shell. This is in addition to assay results from Zone X22 at its Troilus Project, located in northcentral Quebec, Canada. The results herein are part of an ongoing 25,000m drilling campaign designed to expand and define select drill targets along the main mineral corridor and regionally.
Hole X22-24-080 Intercept Highlights: Newly discovered “West Rim” intersected 1.37 g/t AuEq (1.32 g/t Au, 1.5 g/t Ag, 0.02% Cu) over 11 m within a broader intersection of 0.74 g/t AuEq (0.69 g/t Au, 1.78 g/t Ag, 0.02% Cu) over 32 m starting at just 21 m downhole. Zone X22 intersected 10.27 g/t AuEq (10.15 g/t Au, 0.50 g/t Ag, 0.07% Cu) over 1 m and 0.83 g/t AuEq (0.58 g/t Au, 1.45 g/t Ag, 0.15% Cu) over 30m incl. 13.85 g/t AuEq (12.55g/t Au, 9.10 g/t Ag, 0.76% Cu) over 1 m at 550 m depth.
Justin Reid, CEO, said, “After 5 years of systematic exploration, we are still making significant discoveries on the Troilus property. The West Rim target is a testament to the prospectivity and opportunity within proximity to the Troilus project’s mineral reserve pits defined in the recent Feasibility Study. Located just 200 meters from the North Reserve Pit and at surface, the West Rim is a highly prospective corridor spanning 4km in length, 1km of which has never been drilled and is open for follow up drilling and delineation of mineralization. Moreover, results from Zone X22 have extended mineralization past 500 meters depth, supporting the future potential of underground development. The geology team has continued to successfully discover and develop existing targets across the property, and we look forward to follow-up drilling in the coming months to build out the West Rim target and further extensions below the North Reserve Pit.”
