Galantas Gold Corp’s first drill hole in the new surface drill programme has fallen within a predicted dilation zone at the main Joshua vein in Cavanacaw mine, Omagh.
POTENTIAL
Dilation zones, first identified in the Kearney vein, have the potential for wider widths of mineralisation.
Hole FR-DD-23-196 targeting a gap in the earlier resource model on Joshua, intersected 13.1 grams per tonne gold and 91.6 g/t silver over 2.5 metres.
“We are pleased with the encouraging early results of our new drill programme from surface,” said chief executive officer Mario Stifano.
“As we continue drilling on the Joshua vein, we will test the down-dip potential of this dilation zone with the aim of expanding the resource to ultimately add to the Omagh mine’s production capacity.”
