Encore Renaissance Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:EZ)(FRANKFURT:OUH1)(PINK SHEETS:ERRCF) reports progress on the Bonaparte 10,000-tonne Bulk Sample exploration program.
Development of the decline has intersected the #20 vein. The vein was partially mined, along its southward strike for 36 feet, blasting 6 rounds, each of 6-foot length, producing 200 tons of mixed ore and waste rock. The relatively flat-laying #20 vein, dipping 40 to 45 degrees, will be best mined from lower mining levels, as separation of ore and waste, at the drift face is not optimal for this type of flat-laying vein. The 200 tons of mixed ore/waste were assayed by random sampling of material from every second bucket excavated by the LHD underground loaders.
Assay results, from this sampling procedure have returned an average grade of over 7.55 g/t or .22 oz/t gold. The company looks forward to revisiting the #20 vein, as the decline swings around, heading due east to intersect the diamond drill-indicated high-grade (1.5oz/t gold or 48g/t) Eagle vein.
Winterizing the mining site is now complete.
