Sona Resources Corp. is a junior resource company based in Vancouver, British Columbia, specializing in gold exploration, development and mining in North America. The Sona board of directors and management have decades of combined experience in the mineral exploration and mining industry, and in managing and financing junior exploration companies.
Since its inception in 1990, Sona has engaged in exploration activities at its 100 percent owned mineral properties in Canada and the United States, as well as small-scale gold production at its flagship property, the Blackdome Gold Mine, in south-central B.C. Since 2002 at its Elizabeth Gold Property, 220 kilometres north of Vancouver, Sona has completed four diamond drill programs that have outlined a 206,000-ounce inferred gold resource.
Sona Resources' 3,000m surface diamond drilling program at Elizabeth Gold property underway
Sona Resources (TSX-V:SYS) (FSE:QS7) has said that the 3,000 metre surface diamond drilling exploration program that began in early August is on track at its Elizabeth Gold property in south-central British Columbia.
To date, 15 holes totalling 2,339 metres have been completed.
The assay results will be released as soon as they are compiled, the company said.
Earlier this summer, the access road into the Elizabeth Gold property was improved to allow for an exploration camp upgrade.
As a result, a new trailer camp for the planned underground exploration program, scheduled to begin this fall, has already been sourced.
The planned underground program will consist of a new portal into the Southwest Vein zone drifting, with raises along the ore zone, along with 4,500 metres of underground diamond drilling.
This work is meant to increase the confidence in the gold resource at the Elizabeth project, and to move it from the inferred category to the measured and indicated categories, said Sona.
Surface trenching is also under way on the northeastern extension of the West Vein, in the Jewelry Box area.
The Elizabeth Gold property has an inferred gold resource of 522,900 tonnes, grading 12.3g Au/t and containing 206,100 ounces of gold.
Since its inception in 1990, Sona has engaged in exploration activities at its mineral properties in Canada and the United States, as well as small-scale gold production at its flagship property, the 100% owned Blackdome Gold Mine in south-central British Columbia.
Sona also holds a 100% interest in two other promising properties, in addition to the Elizabeth Gold Property and the Blackdome: The Callaghan Project is located in Nevada, within 80 kilometres of several producing mines. The Montgolfier Project is located in Quebec, 40 kilometres east of the multimillion-ounce Casa Berardi Mine gold deposit.
