Sky Gold starts drilling at Evening Star
Mr. Mike England reports
SKY GOLD CORP. UPDATE OF DRILLING AND GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYS AT EVENING STAR PROPERTY, NEVADA
Drilling has commenced at Sky Gold Corp.'s flagship Evening Star property, located in the prolific Walker Lane gold trend in Nevada.
Drilling using a diamond-core drill rig is now under way to test certain gold targets at the Tower gold area of the Evening Star project. Another target to be drill tested, with an approximate 600-metre hole, upon completion of an ongoing geophysical program, will be the High Life Cu-Au (copper-gold) porphyry target.
The Tower gold target comprises a one-kilometre-long, 50-metre-wide, northwest-trending high-grade gold corridor characterized by centimetre-scale extensional quartz veins hosted within a granite intrusion.
The High Life target represents a deeper copper-gold porphyry system with associated skarn mineralization at Gold Bug and Evening Star, identified through prior geological mapping, geochemical sampling and historical data review.
Phase one of the geophysical surveys, a drone-supported high-resolution magnetic and topographic survey across the Evening Star property, is now complete with results being processed at this time. The survey was flown on 50-metre line spacing and is designed to provide detailed subsurface structural and lithological information to assist in drill targeting.
Next up, an induced polarization (IP) survey is set to commence within a week to further refine drill targeting, at the High Life Cu-Au porphyry target.
Mike England, chief executive officer of Sky Gold, commented: "It is always an exciting time when the drill starts turning. We will keep updates coming as it proceeds."
