The up to 1,200 metres of the maiden drill program, is focusing on the East Divide Target Zone which sampled 11.4 g/t Gold (Au) from surface during Phase 2 exploration and 1.46 metres of 10.9 g/t Au, 34.1 g/t silver, 0.5% copper, and 1.8% zinc from historical infill drilling.
"Our drilling team has made excellent progress so far. Our initial assessments of the core show lots of scattered sulphides throughout and we appear to have intersected the shear zone near surface. Observations also show that the core is very altered, very bleached, with scattered stringers with Po+Py. Our technical team will begin logging and readying core for the assay lab," said Scott Walters, CEO of Big Gold.
About the Tabor Project
Tabor is adjacent to the east, along trend of Goldshore's Moss Lake gold deposit that hosts current inferred or higher category mineral resources of 6.73 million ounces gold, including an Indicated Resource of 1.535 million ounces gold grading 1.23 g/t and an Inferred Resource of 5.198 million ounces gold at a grade of 1.11 g/t* and Tabor is located approximately 20 km to the west of the Delta Resources Delta-1 Project ("Delta-1")* (Technical Report filed March 21, 2024 www.goldshoreresources.com).
Gold mineralization on the Project is, at least in part, associated with quartz veins, shearing and more abundant sulphides. Geological and mineralization characteristics at Tabor are similar to those found on some of the neighbouring properties, including Goldshore's Moss Lake project where a recent drill hole intersected 2.17 g/t gold over 50.35 m and at the Delta-1, where Delta Resources Ltd. recently (March 1, 2024) reported a drill intercept of 15.94 g/t gold over 10 m.
