Assays from a recent drill program on the TAY-LP claims west of the Ketza River gold mine were released by project operator, Pacific Comox Resources (VSE). The company is earning a 49% interest in the Yukon Territory property from Cominco Ltd. (TSE).
Six diamond drill holes totalling 2,780 ft tested four widely separated geophysical targets, with step-outs of up to 2,950 ft from Cominco’s previous drill sites. Selected values include: 2.3 ft of 0.32 oz gold; 3.3 ft of 0.14 oz; 3.3 ft of 0.21 oz; and 16.4 ft of 0.18 oz. The company said the 16.4-ft interval is centred within a 59-ft section of strong quartz pyrrhotite vein which appears to dip steeply and strikes sub-parallel to a strong EM-magnetic anomaly exceeding 3,280 ft in length. Another hole intersected stringer-type sulphide mineralization with low gold values. A 2,296-ft diamond drill program is planned to further test the mineralized zones.
