Marco Roque, President and CEO of Cassiar Gold (TSX.V:GLDC – OTCQX:CGLCF), joins us to provide a comprehensive exploration update from multiple areas of focus at the Cassiar Gold Project, in BC. Cassiar Gold’s 2022 exploration program comprised 23,000 meters in 70 diamond drill holes focused on strategic areas of the Taurus Deposit, as well as significant vein prospects in Cassiar South and other brownfields targets.
We review some of the recent bulk-tonnage style drill intercepts stepping outside of the existing pit shell at Taurus West, with drill hole# 22TA-180 intersecting 71.6 m of 1.54 g/t Au from 177.5 m down hole, including 23.5 m of 3.68 g/t Au, expanding mineralization beyond the resource block model along the Taurus West Fault. Results reported here contribute to the progressive expansion of mineralization both within and near the footprint of the Taurus Deposit and further demonstrate continuity of a higher-grade corridor of gold mineralization at the western extent of the deposit.
Next Marco outlined the seven holes totaling 2,380 meters, announced on April 4th, from the East Bain Extension and West Bain areas of the past-producing Bain vein system Bain vein target in the Cassiar South project area. Drill hole# 22EBX-103 intersected multiple mineralized intercepts which include:
- 14.6 m of 2.21 g/t Au, from 159.5 m downhole, including 4.0 m of 5.05 g/t Au, identifying a potential offset continuation of the past-producing Bain vein system 90 m from previous drilling.
- 2.16 m of 32.95 g/t Au from 361.9 m downhole, including 0.55 m of 123.50 g/t Au proximal to the Bain vein, and potentially representing a new parallel vein.
Results from 13 drill holes totaling 5,259 metres of drilling from this program are yet to be disclosed as the Company continues to await the return of additional assay results. Looking forward, the details are still being finalized for the 2023 drill program, but it will likely be of similar size to last year’s program, focused at Cassiar North, Cassiar South, and also testing additional regional targets like Wings Canyon, Lucky, and Snow Creek.
