*Core length
Over a period of 45 days, 2,612 meters were drilled resulting into a resource calculation between level 6 and 8 by the mine technical service team using a polygonal method as follows:
Stope | Type | Tonnes | Au g/T uncapped | Au g/T capped | Au ounces (capped) |
8-H-10 | Indicated | 24,968 | 10.73 | 10.39 | 8,342 |
Samples capped at 31 g/T,
Drill density: 15m by 15m.
The cost to drill the 2,612 meters of diamond drilling was $169,377 which corresponds to an average cost of $20.30 per ounce identified.
A second drill is now active in the same area of the mine (see attached diagram). The results will be published in the coming weeks once available. A total of 25,000 meters of drilling are planned in the same sector in the coming month.
To view the figure attached with this press release: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/MineBachelor.pdf
The true width is between 65 and 95% of the core length obtained in diamond drill holes. The cap-off grade used in the analysis is 51.5 g/T or 1.5 oz Au. The samples were assayed by fire-assay at the Metanor assay lab. The quality control program of the assay results (QA QC) adopted by Metanor includes a minimum of 10% of controlled assays being conducted as well as verification by an independent external assay lab.
