HighGold Mining (TSXV:HIGH) has reported new assay results from 2022 drilling at the Ellis Zone discovery at the Difficult Creek Prospect. These are the third and final batch of results from the project, which is located four kilometres northeast of the 1.005 Moz indicated at 9.4 g/t gold equivalent JT Deposit. This is one of many district-scale prospects HighGold Mining is exploring in Southcentral Alaska on the Johnson Tract project.
The diamond drilling completed during the second half of the 2022 summer field season was focused on systematically stepping out along strike and at depth on the Ellis Zone on 25 to 50-meter centres. The new drilling has returned strong mineralization west and down-plunge of recently released results and includes 15.5m at 4.04 g/t AuEq, including 1.5m at 26.24 g/t AuEq, in hole DC22-056, and 16.1m at 3.07 g/t AuEq, including 3.0m at 7.84 g/t AuEq, in hole DC22-060.
Darwin Green, CEO of HighGold Mining, commented in a press release: “The 2022 drill program at the Ellis Zone was very successful in sketching-in a new center of high-grade gold and base metal mineralization with similar characteristics to the main +1Moz JT Deposit located 4km away. This is strong validation of the district potential for multiple deposits and the opportunity to contribute additional mineral resources to the existing resource base. To date, the Ellis Zone has been documented over a strike length of 125 meters and from surface to a depth of 225 meters and is open to expansion. It remains early days in the exploration of this promising new zone, and we look forward to returning in 2023 with larger step-outs, particularly down plunge to the west and to depth.”
Highlights from the results are as follows:
- 4.1m at 5.89 g/t AuEq (3.28 g/t Au, 3.14% Zn, 0.81% Pb, 0.29% Cu), in hole DC22-037, including
- 0.9m at 16.21 g/t AuEq (14.55 g/t Au, 0.22% Zn, 0.89% Cu)
- 6.6m at 4.96 g/t AuEq (1.43 g/t Au, 4.35% Zn, 0.62% Cu), in hole DC22-049, including
- 1.3m at 12.90 g/t AuEq (5.70 g/t Au, 2.08% Zn, 2.55% Cu)
- 16.1m at 1.53 g/t AuEq (0.17 g/t Au, 2.08% Zn), in hole DC22-050, including
- 0.5m at 20.59 g/t AuEq (0.76 g/t Au, 32.50% Zn, 0.43%)
- 3.6m at 5.92 g/t AuEq (0.90 g/t Au, 7.91% Zn), in hole DC22-051, including
- 1.5m at 9.83 g/t AuEq (1.91 g/t Au, 12.75% Zn, 0.29% Cu)
- 15.5m at 4.04 g/t AuEq (2.99 g/t Au, 1.49% Zn), in hole DC22-056, including
- 1.5m at 26.24 g/t AuEq (25.70 g/t Au, 0.81% Zn)
- 16.1m at 3.07 g/t AuEq (0.36 g/t Au, 3.97% Zn, 0.21% Cu), in hole DC22-060, including
- 3.0m at 7.84 g/t AuEq (0.75 g/t Au, 11.03% Zn, 0.31% Cu)
- 8.5m at 2.62 g/t AuEq (1.41 g/t Au, 1.55% Zn, 0.69% Pb), in hole DC22-065
