A highly anticipated and long-awaited batch of assay results show that Freegold Ventures Ltd.'s 2020 drill program at Golden Summit continues to tap bonanza grade gold along with the very wide sections of bulk tonnage mineralization for which the property is known. Located about 25 miles north of Fairbanks, Alaska and on the north border of Kinross Gold Corp.'s Fort Knox gold mine property, Golden Summit hosts 61.5 million metric tons of indicated resource averaging 0.69 g/t...
Tectonic Metals Inc. Nov. 12 announced that its 26-hole rotary air blast drill program at Seventymile has confirmed the company's geological model for this eastern Alaska gold exploration property and identified several large targets that warrant aggressive follow up drilling.

Seabridge Gold Inc. Nov. 11 reported that this year's 8,961-meter drill program at Iskut provides further evidence of a large porphyry copper-gold system lying below the drilling completed so far at this early staged exploration project in the heart of British Columbia's Golden Triangle. Situated about 30 kilometers (19 miles) west of Seabridge's world-class KSM gold-copper project, Iskut is home to the historical high-grade Johnny Mountain gold-silver-copper mine. Seabridge...
Osisko Metals Inc. Nov. 12 reports that its latest batch of drill results includes one hole that indicates a major expansion of O53, one of the deposits that make up the large zinc-lead resource at the Pine Point project in Canada's Northwest Territories. From 1964 to 1988, Cominco (now Teck Resources) produced roughly 14 billion lb of zinc and 4 billion lb of lead from around 64 million metric tons of ore averaging about 10% zinc-equivalent, which factors in the value of...
Enduro Metals Corp. Nov. 11 reported that the resampling of core from a historic hole drilled at its Newmont Lake project in Northern British Columbia has revealed a much longer interval of gold-silver-copper mineralization in this hole targeting Northwest Zone than previously realized. Lying alongside the McLymont fault on Enduro's 648-square-kilometer (246 square miles) Newmont Lake project, NW Zone hosts 1.4 million metric tons of historical resource averaging 0.22% (6.8...
