EnGold Starts Drill Program at Lac La Hache
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 14, 2016) - David H. Brett, President & CEO, Engold Mines Ltd., (TSXV: EGM) ("EnGold" and the "Company") reports that EnGold has commenced an estimated 8 hole, 3,000 metre diamond drill program at its 100% owned Lac La Hache Property in the Cariboo region of BC, targeting the Aurizon Gold zone, where prior drilling has returned multiple high-grade gold/copper intercepts over significant widths. The Company's 2016 drill program will seek to extend known mineralized zones on strike and down dip within the large hydrothermal breccia structure that remains open in all directions. The Company has received approval from the BC Ministry of Energy and Mines for its 5 Year Multi-Year Area-Based exploration permit.
"Management believes Aurizon Gold has tremendous exploration upside," said EnGold President & CEO David Brett. "Aurizon Gold is just one the exciting exploration assets at EnGold's Lac La Hache Property, which also hosts the Spout Copper Deposit and significant porphyry copper potential."
"I'm excited to be back drilling at Lac La Hache," said VP of Exploration Robert Shives, P.Geo. "The significant size and grade potential of the Aurizon Gold breccia structure is coming into focus better than ever as we continue to study and understand past drilling data."
