Grande Portage Resources Ltd revealed that it has started its summer drill program at its 100%-controlled Herbert Gold project located approximately 25 kilometers north of Juneau, Alaska.
The Vancouver, British Columbia mineral exploration company said the fully funded drill program will test multiple targets from three platforms. The company intends to test the main mineralized structures at depths beyond 500 meters (m), while at the same time, penetrating additional structures at shallower levels and along strike.
The vein structures and mineralization show no signs of diminishing with depth, according to Grande Portage.

In addition to drilling the deeper portions of the Goat, Main, and Deep Trench veins, one of the company's planned drill sites will test the eastern extension of the Deep Trench, the Floyd, and the Elusive Structure, which remains virtually unexplored to date, noted the firm.
The Herbert Gold property system is open to length and depth and is host to at least six main composite vein-fault structures that contain ribbon structure quartz-sulfide veins. The project lies prominently within the 160-kilometer-long Juneau Gold Belt, which has produced over seven million ounces of gold.
