Great Western Mining Corporation PLC (AIM:GWMO) said it completed its first drilling programme at the Mineral Jackpot group of claims in Mineral County, Nevada.
All four holes were drilled towards known, previously worked mineralisation, The AIM-traded company said. And they all intersected at least three zones containing alteration of target type, some of which also exhibited significant amounts of chips interpreted to be derived from quartz veins.
The company was originally formed to exploit this area of historic gold and silver mines.
"This completes an exciting summer drill programme over four of the company's many prospect areas, the Southern Alteration Zone (Rock House Group), Trafalgar Hill (Olympic Gold), OMCO Mine area (Olympic Gold) and Mineral Jackpot (Black Mountain Group), with 24 holes drilled totalling 2,798 metres drilled depth,” said chairman Brian Hall.
“We now await assay results from busy independent laboratories, timing of which is outside our control but which we will announce as soon as they become available."
