Research Capital has repeated its ‘Buy’ rating on Mandalay Resources Corp as the gold exploration company released more positive results from the ongoing drilling at its Bjorkdal underground gold mine in Sweden. In a note to clients, the analysts maintained its Buy rating and $5.75 per share target price, based on the continued use of a 1 multiple to the net asset value. The analysts noted: “The company turned its attention to the Central Zone area and has drilled another 17 holes comprising 7,253 meters (m), resulting in the intersection of mineralization at least 350m from the current workings and the addition of 16 new veins to the 21 known ones.”

Evergold Corp (TSX-V:EVER, OTC:EVGUF) has announced the release of an animated video of the gold and silver-rich GL1 Main zone, located on the Company’s Golden Lion property in north-central British Columbia (BC). The video has been created, in part, from data generated by a 3D geological modeling exercise, imagery and results from which were released early last week. The video shows the progressive development of the GL1 Main zone through time, commencing with Newmont’s historical drilling in 1984, through drilling carried out by Evergold in 2020, and culminating with Evergold’s 2021 drill discovery, in its final 3 holes, of the property’s first high-grade domain. The high-grade domain, which comes to surface and returned the highest grades of precious and base metals yet seen in drilling at Golden Lion, will be the focus of follow-up drilling in the 2022 field season. “This video makes the large scale of the GL1 Main zone immediately evident, along with its considerable expansion potential,” said Kevin Keough, Evergold president & CEO. “It does this by placing GL1 Main within the context of the much larger surface geochemical anomalies which encompass it. Also helpful for assessing the potential of the zone is the topographical context, which by BC standards is moderate, and allows for site access directly up the broad valleys common to the Toodoggone area.” The video may be viewed at: https://vimeo.com/664395801/d4f64d0a12
