Sassy Gold Corporation updated on its Westmore gold discovery at its flagship Foremore project, in the Eskay Camp, in the heart of northwest British Columbia’s prolific Golden Triangle.
The Vancouver, British Columbia-based exploration stage resource company highlighted that 18 drill holes, or 3,740 meters (m) were completed at the Westmore Discovery Zone. “This equals the combined total number of Westmore holes drilled in 2020-2021,” noted the company.
At least 12 of those were designed and completed to add additional pierce points along strike and at depth along the 4-Amigo Vein from which very high-grade, near-surface drill intercepts were encountered in 2021, explained Sassy.
In addition, drill holes were extended past the 4-Amigo Vein to intersect other known auriferous vein structures identified by previous drilling. According to Sassy, vein structures that precede the 4-Amigo Vein were also intersected by drilling.
Significantly, 2,420 drill core samples have been shipped to the lab with assays pending.
In a statement, Sassy Gold CEO Mark Scott said: "Our crews completed a highly efficient program with our all-in cost per metre at its lowest since we started at Foremore in 2020.”
He added: “We look forward to results as we're confident we've been able to build on the success of the last two years."
While Sassy is heavily focused on its Foremore project, it is also earning up to a 100% interest in the Highrock Uranium project in the Key Lake region of Saskatchewan. Sassy also holds significant equity positions in Gander Gold Corp (CSE:GAND), Galloper Gold Corp, and MAX Power Mining Corp.
