Trelawney Mining and Exploration, a Canadian mining and exploration company, has declared the results from 26 additional drill holes on the Chester Project’s Côté Lake Deposit situated between Sudbury and Timmins in Northern Ontario.
The results have been obtained from the current expansion and infill drilling program on the Côté Lake Deposit. Broad zones of gold mineralization are being intersected at the Côté Lake Deposit.
In order to provide better variography for future resource estimates, the holes in the infill portions have been drilled at different angles. A number of infill holes have intersected diabase dykes on the infill portions, leaving some gaps in the mineralization along the holes. The diabase dykes, which are presumed to be about 20 m in width, run sub-parallel to the portions. Further infill drilling may be needed to be done, adjacent to these diabase dykes, so as to transform this region’s resource to the indicated category.
About 131 million tonnes, grading 1.0 g/t for 4.2 million ounces gold have been intersected at the Côté Lake Deposit. So far, Côté Lake Deposit’s mineralization has been intersected over outcrops and at a strike-length of 1,200 m at two identified sites. The zone is exposed at depth and along strike on drilled sections. The Côté Lake Deposit comprises a low-to-moderate grade gold +/- copper mineralization, related to brecciated intermediate to mafic and felsic intrusive rocks. The nature of the mineralization and modification denotes a porphyry deposit.
The company continues to drill on its land holdings in the Swayze region, totaling 10 diamond drill rigs. The Côté Lake Deposit’s drill project will continue with eight drills, wherein seven drills will focus on infill drilling, and the remaining one will target the extension drilling.
