Constantine Metal Resources Ltd. Aug. 17 reported additional long, high-grade intercepts from exploration drilling at the Nunatak AG zone, a volcanogenic massive sulfide discovery located about 3,000 meters south of the South Wall-RW deposit at the Palmer project in Southeast Alaska. The discovery hole at Nunatak AG, reported in July, cut 9.2 meters of massive barite-sulfide averaging 312 grams per metric ton silver and 0.9 g/t gold. CMR17-92, drilled about 140 meters south of the discovery hole, cut 17.8 meters grading 11.7...
CopperBank Resources Corp. sees the need for copper rising sharply as the world shifts to renewable energy sources and believes its Pyramid porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum project on the Alaska Peninsula ideally suited to help fill that demand. CopperBank was founded by self-proclaimed "realistic environmentalist" Gianni Kovacevic, who drove a Tesla Model S sedan across North America last year to raise awareness about the symbiotic relationship between the mining and green...
Victoria Gold Corp. Aug. 21 announced the start of a C$40 million phase-1 construction program at the Eagle Gold Mine project at the company's Dublin Gulch property in the Yukon. This work is primarily focused on road upgrades, camp expansion and detailed engineering in preparation for more extensive development next year. "This is an exciting milestone in the ongoing development of the Eagle Gold project," said Victoria Gold President and CEO John McConnell. "The phase-1...
Klondike Gold Corp. Aug. 22 reported the start of a third phase of drilling at its Klondike district gold project in the Yukon. The company also said it has added a second rig with the goal of drilling 40 holes in 30 days during an accelerated program at this 527-square-kilometer Klondike property just southeast of Dawson City. This program will start with 40 holes along the Lone Star target/Bonanza Fault trend to test along a 4,000-metr-long soil anomaly identified there. If the weather holds out, the company plans to test...
Peregrine Diamonds Ltd. Aug. 23 said a three-hole, 1,474-meter drill program confirms the expansion potential of the CH-6 kimberlite at its Chidliak diamond project in Nunavut. DD36, a 378-meter vertical hole, intersected kimberlite from 4.5 to 295.8 meters below surface, which is consistent with the current resource model for the CH-6 kimberlite. DD38 cut 190.2 meters of typical olivine-rich CH-6 kimberlite from 277 to 442 meters below the surface, confirming previous results...
Dolly Varden Silver Corp. Aug. 21 reported additional high-grade silver intercepts from from the 2017 drill program at the Dolly Varden Silver project in northwestern British Columbia. The batch of five holes reported were drilled from the north side of the Dolly Varden deposit area, one of four deposits and more than 50 exploration targets on the property. The best of these holes, DV17-048, cut three mineralized structures. The first structure corresponds to the silver-rich Dolly Varden vein, and the lower two intercepts...
ATAC Resources Ltd. Aug. 17 reported long sections of significant gold from the first 2017 holes drilled at Conrad, one of the zones of Carlin-type mineralization identified at its Osiris project at the Rackla Gold property, Yukon. The company said these first four holes target new areas of mineralization and crosscutting faults believed to be associated with high-grade gold mineralization in the vicinity of the 350 Faults on the western side of the Conrad zone. All holes...
Redstar Gold Corp. Aug. 23 reported that the initial phase of drilling at its Unga project on the Alaska Peninsula has extended the Shumagin gold zone. "Preliminary drilling has extended the known strike length of Shumagin to 1,600 meters by intersecting the Shumagin structure in 10 out of 12 holes," said Redstar President and CEO Peter Ball. The summer drill program was designed to understand and to test a previously undrilled area extending about 500 meters southwest of Shumagin zone. Two infill holes -17SH033 and 17SH034...
