Corvus Gold has updated the completed exploration works at the Terra Project, West Alaska. WestMountain Index Advisor, join venture partner of Corvus, has completed 544 m of drilling, totaling four holes, and validated the additional expansion of the present Ben Vein system, which stays open along strike and at depth, for 200 m towards the northern side.
The company has additionally discovered a similar structure with a minimum of 100 m strike length through a recent drill program in Ben vein’s hanging wall. It is waiting for the 2011 drilling program results.
WestMountain has informed Corvus that a primary step-out hole of 100 m length to the north has identified 82-92 m of vein material and an additional zone from 124-130 m. The location of the deep intersection was at the Ben Vein’s outcrops. A second step out that is 100 m to the northern part of the primary hole, has returned veins of quartz carbonate with pyrite and arsenopyrite in two zones. The second zone corresponds with Ben Vein’s outcropped site, thus validating this significant high-grade structure continuity. The company has sent all the drilling samples to ALS Chemex for processing.
Extension of the recognized Terra gold mineralization is the purpose of the drilling during 2011, by outlining the gold vein additionally. During 2012, WestMountain will be continuing the drill campaign to extend the known level of the vein during the beginning of the vein’s initial bulk sampling by employing a pilot mill, which was mobilized to the location in 2011.
