Leo Hathaway, the Executive Chairman of Golden Shield Resources (CSE:GSRI, OTCQB:GSRFF), shared additional results from the company's reverse circulation drill campaign at the Marudi Mountain Property. During an interview with Steve Darling from Proactive, Hathaway revealed that the company has now received all results from the RC drilling campaign, which will inform targeting in the ongoing diamond drilling program. The latest results from the western section of Pancake Creek show an impressive intersection of 1.45 g/t Gold over 20 meters, representing the longest continuous intercept of gold mineralization encountered in Golden Shield's RC drilling campaign.
These results highlight the prospectivity of the western part of Pancake Creek, and the anomalous areas will be further tested through diamond drilling. Hathaway also mentioned that the diamond drill targeting is ongoing, with preliminary diamond drill holes being planned for Marudi North and Pancake Creek. Marudi North has seen limited historical diamond drilling but displays high-grade gold intercepts within the same mineralized FQ unit found across the property. The historic intercepts at Marudi North will be followed up to confirm the existence of historical mineralization and determine the extent of the favorable FQ unit.
Pancake Creek, on the other hand, has not undergone any historical diamond drilling. Recent fieldwork, trenching, and RC drilling have brought this prospect into focus. Both Marudi North and Pancake Creek are located within 500 meters of each other, and the company believes they may have the potential to connect. In summary, Golden Shield Resources continues to make significant progress in its exploration efforts at the Marudi Mountain Property, with promising results from the RC drilling campaign and plans for further diamond drilling to confirm and extend the known mineralization.
