EnGold to Recommence Aurizon Gold Drill Program February 15
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 7, 2017 / David H. Brett, President & CEO, Engold Mines Ltd. (TSXV: EGM) ("EnGold" or the "Company"), reports that on February 15th, 2017 the Company plans to resume its fully funded drill program targeting the Aurizon Gold prospect within its 100% owned Lac La Hache Property in British Columbia's Cariboo region. During this phase of the Aurizon exploration program, EnGold plans approximately 18 holes comprising 6,200 metres of drilling over the next 5 months.
"EnGold's exploration objective in 2017 is to continue step-out drilling at the Aurizon Gold zone with a view to completing a resource calculation before the end of the year," said EnGold President & CEO David Brett. "Management sees strong potential for Aurizon to support a high-grade, low cost, underground minable deposit."
"Our increasing knowledge of the Aurizon Gold hydrothermal breccia system has enabled EnGold to project and intersect the structure with a high degree of consistency," said EnGold VP Exploration Rob Shives, P.Geo. "We are developing new targets on strike to the south and at depth, where we have encountered numerous high grade gold and copper intercepts."
