Update on P2 Gold's Gabbs Project Exploration
P2 Gold Inc. (TSXV: PGLD) is making significant strides with its Gabbs Project, a gold-copper venture located on the Walker-Lane Trend. Recently, the company has received the necessary Notices of Extension for the Sullivan and Lucky Strike Zones from the Bureau of Land Management. This crucial step allows P2 Gold to proceed with drilling operations at its wholly-owned project.
Upcoming Drilling Initiatives
Mobilization of Drilling Equipment
The company is mobilizing a reverse circulation drill to the site, with drilling activities poised to commence in mid-October. This marks a pivotal moment for P2 Gold as they aim to enhance their exploration efforts in the Gabbs Project.
Details of the Drilling Program
P2 Gold has laid out a comprehensive drill program, set at 4,500 meters, aimed at expanding and upgrading the mineral resources of the Sullivan Zone from inferred to indicated. Remarkably, this zone holds approximately 60% of the overall Gabbs Project mineral resources. The drilling will target both updip and downdip extensions, which could potentially increase the gold grade of this promising zone. With its large size and open directions, the Sullivan Zone presents an exciting opportunity for further exploration.
Resources at the Gabbs Project
The Gabbs Project currently boasts an indicated mineral resource estimated at 0.72 million ounces of gold, 2.17 million ounces of silver, and 297.0 million pounds of copper. It also has an inferred mineral resource of 1.28 million ounces of gold, 3.04 million ounces of silver, and 567.1 million pounds of copper. These robust figures underscore the project's potential as a valuable mining site.
