Otis Gold Commences Kilgore Drill Program
VANCOUVER, BC - Otis Gold Corp. reported that road construction and drilling has commenced at its flagship Kilgore Gold Project. Construction of approximately 900 meters of roads into the emerging "North Target" area and 300 meters of roads into the untested "Crab Claw" area began in early September and is progressing on schedule. Parallel with road construction, the first several holes of a planned 15 to 20 hole program totaling up to 4,200 meters have been completed, and drilling continued into November. Drilling is being conducted by O'Keefe Drilling Co, Inc. of Butte, Montana.
The reverse circulation (or "RC") drilling is focused in the North Target and Crab Claw areas, located at the north/northwest end and contiguous to the Kilgore Deposit, where holes drilled in 2011 and 2012 successfully expanded the strike length of the deposit by approximately 150 meters. Drilling in 2011 included intercepts of 114.3m of 0.89 g/t Au in hole OKC-258, 118.8m of 0.89 g/t Au in OKC-259, 48.8m of 1.05 g/t Au in hole OKC-265 and 32.0m of 1.15 g/t Au in hole OKC-247. Drilling in 2012 included intercepts of 82.3m of 0.95 g/t Au in hole OKR-291, 121.9 m of 1.04 g/t Au in hole OKR-292, and 83.8m of 1.12 g/t Au in hole 12 OKR-294.
Stated President & CEO Craig Lindsay: "We are very pleased with the commencement of the current work program, which is intended to potentially expand mineralization and find the 'edges' of the existing deposit and is an important next phase in the development of the Kilgore Gold Deposit."
