Tempus Resources Ltd (ASX:TMR) (CVE:TMRR) (FRA:4W0) has observed visible gold in drill hole EZ-20-06 at its Blackdome Elizabeth Gold Project in British Columbia, Canada.
Infill hole EZ-20-06 intersected the southwest vein from 116.0 metres to 121.50 metres downhole with visible gold observed over about two metres of core length within the quartz vein interval.
Diamond drilling completed
Diamond drilling at the high-grade Elizabeth sector of the project has been completed for the 2020 field season, with a total of 12 diamond drill holes totalling 2,006 metres.
The remainder of the planned 6,000 metres of drilling will commence in the Canadian spring of 2021.
Core from the first four drill holes has been received at SGS laboratory in Burnaby, British Columbia, for analysis and assay results are expected early in the new year.
The initial 12 holes were in the southern portion of the southwest vein where infill and down-dip extension was the primary focus.
Southwest vein hosts the majority of the historical inferred resource at Elizabeth, prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, which comprises 522,843 tonnes grading 12.26 g/t gold for 206,139 ounces of contained gold.
Blackdome-Elizabeth Gold Project
Tempus is focused on rapidly verifying and expanding the historical high-grade mineral resource at the Blackdome-Elizabeth project by drilling extensions to existing mineralisation and other high priority targets within the 350 square kilometres licence area, which remains relatively unexplored.
The company also plans to leverage the existing permitted mill, tailings dam and other infrastructure at Blackdome with the aim of recommencing production as the project proceeds.
