Exciting Developments at the Goldboro Gold Project
NexGold Mining Corp. (TSXV: NEXG; OTCQX: NXGCF) is making strides with its ongoing drill program at the Goldboro Gold Project. The company is currently conducting a 25,000-meter diamond drilling initiative, aimed at refining geological models and enhancing resource estimates. The project is centered on infilling key areas of the open pit mineral resource, which is essential for boosting both geological accuracy and grade continuity.
Drilling Program Overview
As part of this ambitious drilling project, NexGold is currently utilizing two diamond drills, and the completion of the drilling is expected soon. Results from this program are crucial as they will contribute to the upcoming update of the mineral resource estimate. The addition of new assay data and increased data density in critical areas is anticipated to yield positive outcomes for NexGold’s planned feasibility study.
The Role of Assay Data
The latest round of assay results from 11 diamond drill holes, totaling over 3,000 meters of drilling in the proposed west pit, is already building enthusiasm among stakeholders. Notably, these results reflect significant gold intersections, indicating that the current geological model successfully predicts gold mineralization in several areas.
Noteworthy Drill Intersections
Among the key findings from the drilling program, several notable intersections stand out:
- 1.60 g/t gold over 36.80 meters (from 271.20 to 308.0 meters), including 53.57 g/t gold over 0.60 meters in drill hole BR-25-504.
- 0.83 g/t gold over 32.55 meters (from 234.50 to 267.05 meters), including 6.00 g/t gold over 1.60 meters in drill hole BR-25-504.
- 0.61 g/t gold over 21.80 meters (from 209.00 to 230.80 meters), including 6.06 g/t gold over 0.60 meters in drill hole BR-25-507.
- 0.91 g/t gold over 12.30 meters (from 238.60 to 250.90 meters), including 1.42 g/t gold over 7.20 meters in drill hole BR-25-507.
- 2.47 g/t gold over 4.65 meters (from 266.55 to 271.20 meters), including 9.55 g/t gold over 1.00 meter in drill hole BR-25-484.
- 3.36 g/t gold over 3.60 meters (from 205.40 to 209.00 meters), including 14.70 g/t gold over 0.80 meters in drill hole BR-25-484.
With these findings, NexGold confirms that its drilling activities continue to add substantial insight into gold distributions within the resource area.
Looking Ahead: Feasibility Study and Permitting
The integration of these new geological insights and assay results will serve as the foundation for an updated resource estimate projected for the second half of the upcoming year. As the feasibility study progresses, it remains crucial for NexGold to align its technical studies with permitting timelines.
