Sabina Gold & Silver Corp is pleased to announce initial results from this year’s Spring exploration diamond drilling program at its 100% owned Back River Gold Project in Nunavut, Canada.
The 2019 Spring exploration drill program of approximately 6,400 meters in 8 drill holes at three target areas was recently completed at the Goose property. Drilling targets included the new discovery area at Nuvuyak/Hook, high-grade optimization opportunities up plunge from the Vault zone at the Umwelt underground and continued scoping at the Llama Extension zone.
Drill hole 19GSE569 located approximately 180 meters up plunge from the Umwelt Vault zone, returned 14.97 g/t Au over 21.75m including 28.94 g/t Au over 5.20m. The purpose of this hole was to build on previous high-grade results (including Vault) by continuing to demonstrate continuity within a high-grade corridor in the Umwelt underground. Additional opportunity remains up and down plunge for further optimization. A high-grade corridor at Umwelt underground could provide opportunities to positively impact mine economics. See Figure 1 for a set of images illustrating the high-grade corridor, and Table 2 for a list of recent drilling values.
