Nevada King Gold Reports Strong Results from Latest Drilling
Nevada King Gold Enhances Exploration Efforts
Recent explorations by Nevada King Gold Corp. (OTCQB: NKGFF) have uncovered impressive findings at the Atlanta Gold Mine Project. This project spans over 12,000 hectares and is situated in a prestigious mining area noted for its rich mineral resources. The company announced that it has completed the final round of drilling in its Phase II drill program, with results affirming the presence of high-grade gold and silver in various core areas.
Drilling Program Success
The results, derived from twelve drill holes, yielded significant findings, particularly two highlight holes: AT23NS-119, which intercepted 2.44 g/t Au and 55.8 g/t Ag over 90.0m, and AT23NS-117C, providing 3.17 g/t Au and 41.4 g/t Ag over 60.1m. These intersections suggest that high-grade mineralization persists close to the surface, deepening Nevada King’s understanding of the mineralized zones.
Key Highlights from the Drill Results
1. Hole AT23NS-117C was specifically aimed at sampling near-surface mineralization for metallurgical testing, confirming complex faulting within the Atlanta Mine Fault Zone (AMFZ).
2. Hole AT23HG-40 achieved 4.97 g/t Au and 162.9 g/t Ag over 27.4m, revealing strong continuity of high-grade zones, although it didn’t reach the deeper high-grade area where thickness and grade trend higher.
3. AT24WS-86 and AT24WS-87 demonstrated continuing mineralization extending westward of the resource area, dispelling previous assumptions regarding mineralization limitations in that direction.
4. The data confirms the effective refinement of the understanding of the Atlanta district, suggesting strong potential for expanding identified mineral resources even further.
Ongoing Phase III Drilling Initiatives
Cal Herron, the Exploration Manager at Nevada King, expressed excitement regarding the results. With over double the known mineralized footprint, the Phase II drill program has provided invaluable insights. The ongoing Phase III drilling is aimed at unveiling additional mineralized zones across the Atlanta district, indicating a promising future for the project.
Unique Insights into New Discoveries
Drill Hole AT24WS-87 was particularly revealing, intercepting an unexpected low gold—high silver zone, 0.18 g/t Au and 33.0 g/t Ag over 30.5m. This intersection highlights the complex interaction with underlying geology, suggesting the potential for broader exploration targets beyond the initial high-grade findings.
Moreover, it introduces the idea that mineralization occurring near Tertiary volcanic contacts could represent new opportunities outside of the established hydrothermal systems associated with the known resource. Such findings may belong to an entirely different geological event, warranting deeper exploration.
Quality Control and Compliance
Nevada King follows strict QA/QC protocols in its drilling operations, which ensures reliable results. Samples from the Atlanta Project are meticulously handled from collection to analysis, incorporating standards and duplicates throughout the process to maintain the highest quality of data. Analyses are performed by reputable laboratories, providing accurate and precise results crucial to assess the gold and silver content effectively.
