Aston Bay Holdings Ltd. is pleased to announce the completion of its 2018 summer exploration drilling program at its Aston Bay Property located on Somerset Island, Nunavut. A total of 3,135 metres of diamond drilling were completed in nine holes, targeting copper and zinc mineralization in the vicinity of both the Storm Copper prospect and Seal Zinc deposit. Core intersections with sulfide mineralization have been halved and sent for assay, with results expected by early October 2018.
Preparations for the anticipated 2019 exploration drill program have also been made: both diamond drill rigs used in the program are stored at site, tents and structures at the exploration camp remain in place and drilling salt is being delivered by sea lift to Resolute Bay.
