Labrador Gold (TSXV:LAB), has reported data from its ongoing diamond drilling program at its wholly-owned Kingsway Project, aimed at exploring the Appleton Fault Zone. The company has completed nearly 85,000 metres of the scheduled 100,000-metre drilling initiative. Assays for approximately 6,100 metres of core samples are still pending.

Roger Moss, President and CEO of LabGold commented in a press release: “During the first phase of drilling at DropKick we demonstrated the presence of near-surface gold over significant widths while increasing the strike length of known mineralization which remains open along strike in both directions. Further drilling is required to demonstrate the true potential of this discovery. Planning is currently underway for drilling in The Gap, between Big Vein and Pristine, and to the south of Big Vein towards the recent Knobby discovery. The drilling of targets in these areas is expected to begin before the end of the month. We are excited to start filling in the gaps between the four discoveries made along a 7-kilometre section of the Appleton Fault Zone at Kingsway.”

The first stage of drilling at the DropKick site revealed notable near-surface gold mineralization. Specifically, Hole K-23-248 yielded 1.81 grams per tonne (g/t) of gold over 20.15 metres from a 50-metre depth, which included a 4.5-metre segment grading at 4.14 g/t. Hole K-23-245 also intersected near-surface intervals, with 1.77g/t Au over 5.15 metres from 31.85 metres downhole. Additional drilling data extended the known mineralized area at DropKick to over 360 metres in strike length, which remains open in both directions. Twelve out of 15 drilled holes at DropKick showed gold mineralization, with four containing visible gold.

In the Pristine area, follow-up drilling resulted in an intersection grading at 1.05g/t Au over 11 metres from 90 metres in Hole K-23-276 and 1.28g/t Au over 6.18 metres from 66.47 metres in Hole K-23-272. Mineralization at Pristine mostly occurs above an 86-metre vertical depth and extends over a strike length of about 160 metres.

At the Big Vein site, ongoing drilling intersected 2.76g/t Au over 8.97 metres from 233.56 metres, including a segment that graded at 7.04g/t over 3.09 metres in Hole K-23-278.

The company reported having roughly $10 million in cash, which is expected to cover the remaining 15,000 metres of the planned drilling program and additional exploration.

Labrador Gold (TSXV:LAB) has reported data from its recent drill tests in the Appleton Fault Zone. The tests are part of Labrador Gold’s ongoing 100,000-metre diamond drilling program at its wholly-owned Kingsway Project.

Roger Moss, President and CEO of Labrador Gold, commented in a press release: “Today’s result of high-grade, near surface gold mineralization at Pristine validates our belief that there is more to be found at Pristine. It is also the third discovery along the Appleton Fault Zone, after Big Vein and Dropkick, to produce such high grades associated with visible gold. Following our initial discovery of near surface visible gold at Pristine announced in May 2022, we did not intersect similar high-grades to those seen at Big Vein. As a result, we returned our focus to expanding Big Vein along strike and at depth and have successfully defined mineralization there over a 720-metre strike length. With near surface mineralization at Pristine now drilled over an approximate 160 metre strike length and the potential for high grades demonstrated, we are looking forward to receiving the permit to drill The Gap between Pristine and Big Vein, a distance of approximately 700 metres, as we continue to focus our drilling along the very prospective Appleton Fault Zone.”

The latest results from the Pristine site show a notable intersection of 11.98g/t Au spanning 6 metres from a depth of 91 metres, including an impressive 30.61g/t over 2.33 metres and 82.2g/t over 0.75 metres. Remarkably, Hole K-22-270 contained 77 grains of visible gold. All the mineral deposits identified at Pristine are situated above a vertical depth of 86 metres, covering an approximate strike length of 160 metres.

Initial drilling results from the DropKick site revealed 1.15g/t Au over 12.4 metres from a depth of 190.25 metres and 1.46g/t Au over 6.75 metres from 162.25 metres in Holes K-23-231 and K-23-251, respectively.

At the Big Vein site, the tests showed 1.10g/t Au over 9.3 metres from a depth of 195 metres and 1.47g/t Au over 6.55 metres from 107.88 metres in Holes K-23-246 and K-23-237, respectively.

To date, Labrador Gold has completed almost 83,000 metres of its proposed 100,000-metre drilling. Assessment results are awaited for approximately 8,877 metres of the core samples.
