The first hole, SP11-06, intersected 13.90m of 1.11g/t Au, including 6.4m of 1.74g/t Au, at a vertical depth of 50m.
The winter drill program at Sunbeam-Pettigrew has now been completed, with assays pending from two other prospective zones at Sunbeam-Pettigrew, AL 198 and Roy.
The Sunbeam-Pettigrew property consists of thirty-six claims totaling 425 claim units within the Archean Marmion Batholith, in a similar geological environment to the Hammond Reef gold deposit, presently being explored by Osisko Mining Corp.
The Hammond Reef deposit contains a National Instrument 43-101-compliant inferred resource of 259.4 million tonnes at 0.8 grams per tonne Au (approximately 6.7 million ounces of gold).
The Road Zone occurs on the Sunbeam lineament defined by TerraX in 2009 that contains the past-producing Sunbeam gold deposit, and is known to be intermittently mineralized over at least 5km.
The zone contains anomalous gold in grab samples over a 200m strike length, with a high value of 2.6 g/t Au.
