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 extends mineralized zone of southwest vein at Elizabeth property in BC
Sona Resources (TSX-V:SYS, FSX:QS7) said Wednesday it received another round of results from the drill program at its Elizabeth gold property in the Lillooet Mining District of southern British Columbia, with intersects reaching 85.4 g/t gold over 4.0 metres.
Four of the five drill holes included in this round of results, E10-66 to E10-69, targeted the southwestern end of the Southwest Vein, and three of these holes have expanded the mineralized zone in that direction, Sona said.
Highlights from the diamond drilling include hole E10-66, which intersected 17.4g/t gold over 1.54 metres; hole E10-67, which returned 96.4g/t gold over 2.5 metres, including one assay interval of 383g/t gold over 0.5 metres; and hole E10-69, which intersected 85.4g/t gold over 4.03 metres, including one assay interval of 230g/t gold over 1.0 metre.
According to Sona, the Southwest Vein gold mineralization has now been intersected over a strike length of 325 metres, with the deepest hole drilled less than 200 metres from surface.
The company said the fifth hole, E10-70, was drilled on the No. 9 Vein and intersected the target quartz vein over a core length of 1.8 metres, which was not mineralized at this location.
At Elizabeth, Sona has outlined an inferred gold resource of 522,900 tonnes, grading 12.3g Au/t and containing 206,100 ounces of gold.
Aside from the Elizabeth property, Sona owns the Blackdome Gold Mine in south-central British Columbia, 30 kilometres north of the Elizabeth property.
The company plans to bring the fully permitted Blackdome mill back into production over the next three years at a rate of 200 tonnes per day, with feed from the former-producing Blackdome Gold Mine and the Elizabeth Gold property.
Sona also holds a 100% stake in two other properties: namely, the Callaghan project in Nevada and the Montgolfier project in Quebec, 40 kilometres east of the multimillion-ounce Casa Berardi Mine gold deposit.
