EnGold Mines Ltd. Finds Two New, Stronger Gravity Anomalies Near Discovery Area at Lac La Hache Property
Vancouver, April 5, 2017 - David H. Brett, President & CEO, Engold Mines Ltd., (TSXV: EGM) ("EnGold" or the "Company") reports that newly collected gravity survey data indicates two new highly anomalous zones in the vicinity of the Company's recent copper-rich drill holes on its 100% owned Lac La Hache Property. No previous drilling has been completed in the area of the new anomalies. The most significant of the new anomalies is located approximately 2.5 kilometers northwest of discovery hole G16-01 and has returned values exceeding 3 milligals, which is three times higher than values reported to date, and is approximately 1000 metres by 500 metres at the 2.5 milligals level and higher. Located 1.2 km to the southeast of discovery hole G16-01, another anomaly with contoured values up to 1.6 milligals is approximately 1km by 1km at the 1.3 milligal level and higher. Also, the previously reported gravity anomaly has intensified to 1.5 milligals with new data collected, and indicates that the higher values increase to the south of the drilling at the discovery hole. The gravity survey is ongoing. A map showing the location and modeling of the new preliminary data has been posted to the Company's website. "The size and intensity of the new anomaly to the northwest is outstanding." said VP Exploration Rob Shives, P.Geo. "The three strong gravity anomalies line up in a northwest/southeast trend that is now over 3 kilometers long."
EnGold has two drills at the site ready to recommence drilling in approximately two weeks. Assays results from drill holes G17-02, G17-03 & G17-04 are expected soon and will be released as soon as they are available.
"These exceptional new findings are adding to our knowledge of the recently discovered mineralization," said EnGold President & CEO David Brett. "We're looking forward to drill testing these new areas in the coming weeks."
