Sabina Gold & Silver Corp is pleased to announce that the Goose Camp has been successfully opened and crews have been mobilized for the summer drilling program at the Goose Property on its 100%-owned Back River gold project in Nunavut, Canada.
Drilling has commenced, with two holes now coring and a third hole commencing soon on a 10,000 meter second phase summer drill program following a successful 6,000 meter spring program earlier this year. A key focus of the summer drilling program will be to follow up on previous success at the Umwelt “Vault” and the Llama Extension targets, as well as further testing of the Goose Main extension target (Nuvuyak). The drilling program is complimented with a series of dedicated field exploration programs that will consist of regional and detailed geologic mapping, geochemistry, and geophysics.
“Our strategy to discover and expand zones of high grade mineralization at our Llama and Umwelt underground resource areas continues to add value and highlight the “blue sky” potential at Back River. We have demonstrated that the gold structures at the Goose Property have significant strike lengths with potential for considerable extension and we have also demonstrated that high grade zones within these gold structures are not uncommon,” stated Bruce McLeod, President and CEO. “Additionally, every hole we drill provides us with significant information to better understand how to vector in to these targets. All our existing deposits at Goose are open and numerous exploration targets have been identified on the 6km trend of this 80km district. We look forward to the continued delineation of these zones and to the potential discovery of new high value zones at targets such as Nuvuyak and Echo-Kogoyak.”
