Results From First Ever Drill Program At Lewiston Gold District In Wyoming
VANCOUVER - Visionary Gold Corp. reported on the first five drillholes at its Wolf Gold Project in Fremont County, Wyoming. Gold mineralized zones were encountered in each of the first five drill holes, confirming continuous gold mineralization over 480 meters ("m") of the 2.6-kilometer ("km") shear zone.
"Intersecting gold values in each drillhole of the first-ever drill program in the Lewiston District confirms the existence of a large gold-bearing hydrothermal system, supporting our exploration thesis," said, CEO, Wes Adams. "We know from extensive surface sampling and mapping that higher-grade zones of mineralization exist within the Wolf Shear structure, but more drilling is needed to further define them. Additionally, we plan to drill-test three recently defined parallel mineralized structures that have been identified adjacent to the Wolf Shear Zone, as well as other new targets generated during a busy 2021 field program. Full results from regional exploration and a summary of new drill targets will be forthcoming."
The five holes drilled at the Wolf Gold Project in 2021 (WLF001-WLF005) totaled 780m. Gold mineralization occurred in chlorite and limonite-stained fault breccias, veins and zones of intense fracturing within the shear corridor. Interpreted mineralized corridors appear to be continuous over the full 480m; however, the widths and grades of mineralization appear to be increasing slightly to the northeast along strike. All drill holes in the 2021 program were drilled from northwest to southeast across the interpreted strike of the Wolf Shear Zone; however, future drilling will also test cross cutting structures and shallowly, southeasterly dipping veins, which could have an influence on mineralization. Assay values results range of detection limit to 1.33 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au).
