While additional drilling along the dip and strike of the shoot will further define the mineralized structure, this type of definition drilling will most likely happen once the ramp for the bulk sample is completed and the zone can be drilled from underground.
David Russell, CEO and President of Galleon Gold, comments, “It is great to see that our targeted drilling of the Upper Zone #9 shoot has resulted in us getting a clear understanding of the mineralized structure at surface.
Figure 1 shows a plan view of the 2020-21 drill hole collars with previously released Zone #9 intercepts, while Figure 2 shows a cross section including Hole WC-21-173.
