NexGold Begins Significant Diamond Drill Program
NexGold Mining Corp. (TSXV: NEXG; OTCQX: NXGCF) has officially launched its inaugural diamond drill program at the renowned Goldboro Deposit located within its expansive Goldboro Project. This ambitious initiative spans a total of 25,000 metres, with the primary goal of enhancing the continuity of geological characteristics and improving the grade within the existing open-pit mineral resources.
Overview of the Drill Program
The drilling operation consists of an initial Phase I, which will encompass approximately 15,000 metres aimed at specific segments of the deposit. Following this phase, Phase II could contribute up to an additional 10,000 metres based on evaluations of ongoing mineral resource assessments and exploratory surveys in the region. The commencement of drilling will utilize one initial rig, with plans to mobilize a further two rigs in the coming month to expedite the process.
Transforming Geological Insights into Resources
Insights drawn from this drill program are poised to significantly contribute to an updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Goldboro project. The planned update will conveniently incorporate previous drill results gathered in 2023 and 2024, particularly from the promising western extension of the Goldboro Deposit. Recent results from this area have shown a consistent presence of gold mineralization across all drilling holes, revealing a continuous gold trend extending over 450 metres west of the existing resources. This encouraging outcome reinforces the belief in the potential for expanding the mineral resources available at Goldboro.
Company Leadership Insights
Kevin Bullock, President and CEO of NexGold, expressed enthusiasm about the drill program: “This initiation marks a critical advancement in our pre-construction initiatives, particularly in light of our recent permitting milestones and our established Benefits Agreement with the Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi’kmaw Chiefs. By focusing on the open-pit segments of the Goldboro Deposit, we believe this program will yield crucial data to support our ongoing Mineral Resource updates planned for 2025.” Bullock emphasizes the company’s strategic goal of demonstrating its position as a top contender among Canada’s near-term gold developers through its Goldboro and Goliath projects.
