- Results from 4,685 metres of diamond drilling in sixteen holes targeting the Nucleus Au-Ag-Cu deposit area:
- Three high-grade gold intersections:
- 5 g/t Au over 1.5 metres in N17-02 (174.50 – 176.00m).
- 35 g/t Au and 7.3 g/t Ag over 1.44 metres in N17-07 (132.46 – 133.90m)
- 2 g/t Au over 1.1 metres in N17-12 (111.00 – 112.10m)
- Six infill drill holes tested underexplored portions of the Nucleus resource area where there are significant gaps in the current resource block-model. Each intersected zones of gold mineralization with grades that exceed the deposit average (0.544 g/t Au at a 0.3 g/t AuEq* cutoff), including:
- 9 meters of 1.545 g/t Au in N17-02 (173.1 – 195.00m)
- 14 meters of 0.799 g/t Au and 0.137% Cu in N17-03 (47.86 – 90.00m)
- 14 meters of 2.696 g/t Au in N17-07 (126.86 – 138.00m)
- 73 meters of 1.797 g/t Au in N17-12 (99.00 – 116.73m)
- 00 metres of 0.701 g/t Au also in N17-12 (212.00 – 242.00m)
- Five step-out drill holes that tested for extensions of Nucleus mineralization to the north, south and east of the current resource area intersected zones of gold mineralization that exceed the 0.3 g/t AuEq* cutoff grade of the deposit including:
- 00 metres of 1.005 g/t Au in N17-01 (165.00-177.00m)
- 20 metres of 0.485 g/t Au and 0.185% Cu in N17-06A (66.80 – 96.00m)
- N17-10, which tested a previously undrilled 1.0 X 0.7 kilometre chargeability anomaly that lies north of the current Nucleus resource, bottomed in mineralization:
- 53 metres of 0.513 g/t Au (453.00 – 474.53m) including 9.53 metres of 1.089 g/t Au (465.00 – 474.53m).
- Paul Reynolds, Triumph Gold Corp.’s President and CEO, comments: “Drilling at Nucleus in 2017 established the potential for increasing the size and grade of the Nucleus resource through infill and step out drilling. Every hole that was drilled within the resource shell intersected broad zones of gold mineralization with grades that exceed the deposit average. In addition, six new drill holes in the underexplored southern portion of the resource demonstrated remarkable continuity of previously poorly understood gold-bearing structures, which we now feel confident and excited, to drill in broad step outs beyond the current resource shell.”
