The Right Spot target is located along the 2 kilometre-long NNE Western Flank trend, 1 kilometre south of the recently discovered high-grade zone.
"We are at a tipping point in the evolution of Kinsley Mountain, with compelling near surface oxidized mineralization complementing the high grade Western Flank zone," stated Matt Lennox-King, President and CEO of Pilot Gold.
Right Spot Geology:
Mapping and rock sampling at the Right Spot identified a 250-metre northeast-trending zone of jasperoids returning 1-5 g/t gold in grab samples and 2.0 g/t gold over 15 metres in road cut samples. This zone of surface mineralization, hosted in the Candland Shale and Big Horse Limestone (the primary ore hosts at the historic Kinsley mine) extends under shallow cover to the northeast. Other stratigraphic host units, including the Clark Springs Limestone, Secret Canyon Shale and Hamburg Limestone, are modeled at depth.
Drilling at Kinsley is ongoing with two RC and one diamond core rig. Targets currently being tested include extensions to high-grade mineralization in the Western Flank target area and an initial test of near-surface and deeper targets in the Secret Spot target area, located 1 km to the southwest of the Right Spot. Since inception of the summer drilling program, a total of 5,018 metres in four core and 13 RC holes has been drilled, with assays pending for 10 holes.
In late May 2014 Pilot Gold leased five patented claims (66 acres) located to the south of the historic Kinsley mine where prior operators intersected gold mineralization at and near surface within the Candland Shale. Pilot also conducted surface mapping and sampling to refine targets in the southern portion of the property.
