Hawthorne says drilling results at Taurus in British Columbia exceed company expectations

15th Sep 2009, 4:28 pm Hawthorne says drilling results at Taurus in British Columbia exceed company expectations

Hawthorne Gold Corp (TSX-V: HGC) said final results from a Phase II diamond drill program at the Sable Zone located within the Taurus claim area in British Columbia has exceeded the company’s expectations.

The six-hole program confirmed that higher grade mineralization exists immediately north of the test pit.

Initial results from the Phase I & II drill programs achieved the goal of identifying a high grade mineralized gold zone near surface within the Sable zone. Final results from the Phase II drill program focused on increasing gold mineralization immediately north to the current Sable zone bulk sample test pit and to test for mineralization to depth below the test pit.

“Several high grade intersections at depth directly below the test pit confirm that mineralization is continuous from near-surface to a depth of 85 metres," commented Richard Barclay, president and CEO of Hawthorne.

Hole TA09-0014 intersected 4.29 metres averaging 6.8 grams per ton of gold, applying a 20 g/t cut off to a bonanza sample yielding 147.5 g/t Au over 0.99 metres. Also results from the completed Phase III drilling at the Hill 88 zone within the Taurus zone, along with results from the current ongoing Phase IV drill program at Table Mountain zone, are pending and expected shortly.

The goal of the Taurus zone drilling is to delineate a small-tonnage, higher grade near-surface gold zone in excess of 3.5 grams per ton of gold, amenable to open pit mining. Once the zone is defined, the mineralized material could potentially be used as mill feed at the permitted Cassiar gold mine when production commences. The Taurus deposit currently contains an NI 43-101 mineral inferred resource estimate of 1.06 million ounces of gold, 33.06 million tonnes grading 1.00 grams per ton.
