Deepest Drill Intersection To Date At Imperial Zone
VANCOUVER - Endurance Gold Corporation (EDG )reported on the exploration program at its Reliance Gold Project. Assay results are reported herein for the deepest hole drilled to date in the Imperial Zone. The Property is road accessible and located 4 kilometres (km) east of the village of Gold Bridge. Drilling has now been conducted at the Diplomat, Imperial and Eagle Zones with eleven (11) holes completed for over 3,030 metres (m) of the ongoing 15,000 m program.
Assay results have been received from diamond drill hole DDH23-066 and Imperial drill hole. This drilling tested the deeper northwest extensions of the Imperial Zone on the Royal Shear. DDH23-066 drilled at -45 degrees returned three significant intersections from the Imperial Zone: 17.28 gpt gold over 4.2 m including 35.2 gpt gold over 1.3 m commencing at 306.5 m downhole depth. This represents a 115 m step out northwest from DDH23-065 intersection with 8.98 gpt gold over 9.3 m and 60 m step out northwest from DDH21-011 which reported 2.1 gpt gold over 24.9 m. Additional intersection of 2.26 gpt gold over 9.7 m including 15.6 gpt gold over 0.8 m & 6.48 gpt gold over 0.7 m commencing at 312.45 m downhole depth; and additional intersection of 4.86 gpt gold over 2.3 m including 18.25 gpt gold over 0.4 m commencing at 384.69 m downhole depth. This diamond drill hole intersection represents the deepest to date at 290 m below surface, along with altered and mineralized interval that extends over about 80 m estimated true width indicating the gold mineralized system remains open to expansion at depth and along strike. The wider and better grade intersections at the Imperial Zone are now interpreted to have a northwest trending plunge. Four drill holes at the Eagle Zone and one at the Crown Target Area have been completed with assay results pending.
"We are pleased to see the strong grade and width of the gold mineralizing system at the Imperial Zone continue with significant step outs at depth to the northwest where it is open to expansion. Furthermore, the four drill holes completed at the Eagle Zone have intersected eighteen anticipated mineralized intervals ranging up to 7.7 m in width. Thus, to date all of the 2023 drill holes have intersected intervals of cataclastite breccia, coxcomb quartz, arsenopyrite and stibnite which are associated with gold mineralization." stated Robert T. Boyd CEO, "The diamond drill hole testing the Crown soil anomaly is the first drill test of the 600 m undrilled gap between Imperial and Eagle Zones."
