Sona Resources to begin 2011 exploration program at Elizabeth in April

1st Apr 2011, 4:10 pm by Deborah Sterescu

Sona Resources Corp. (CVE:SYS) said Thursday that it will begin in April a 2011 exploration program at its Elizabeth gold deposit, located in the Lillooet mining district of southcentral British Columbia.

The Elizabeth gold project is located 30 kilometres south of the company's flagship Blackdome mine, where Sona has outlined an inferred gold resource of 522,900 tonnes grading 12.3 g/t gold.

The goals of the exploration program at Elizabeth are to increase and upgrade the current mineral resource to the measured and indicated categories, as well as boost confidence in the high grade resource zone. Sona will begin with underground drifting on the southwest vein of the deposit.

"The underground program widens the scope of exploration, enabling us to expand the high-grade gold resources at Elizabeth," said president and CEO John P. Thompson.

Last December, a new underground portal on the southwest vein was established at the 2,300 metre level, where a test hole was drilled and intersected the quartz vein within seven metres, the company said.

Sona plans to drift along the vein for 350 metres, drive an 80 metre raise on the mineralized zone, and accumulate a bulk sample of 5,000 tonnes.

The company also intends to develop several drill bays, and complete 4,500 metres of underground diamond drilling focused on the southwest vein.

The results of the 2010 surface diamond drilling program, along with the 2011 drill results, will be included in a new resource report for the deposit in the fall.

Sona also said that it has submitted a multi-year permit application to the BC Ministry of Energy and Mines to conduct an additional 10,000 metres of surface diamond drilling at the Elizabeth project.
