![Novo Announces High Grade 3-KG Leachwell Results From Beatons Creek](https://www.goldseiten.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
A grade-thickness comparison (interval length x grade) of directly comparable 3-kg and 1-kg LeachWell results from 300 intervals shows that grades increase in 191 cases, remain the same in two cases, and decrease in 107 cases. When comparing the sum of grade-thickness between the 3-kg and 1-kg LeachWell results from these same 300 intervals, gold grades increase 33% in the 3-kg over the 1-kg results. Forty-one intervals increase in length, 244 remain the same length and fifteen decrease in length. Importantly, 126 new significant intervals have emerged from the 3-kg LeachWell results (note, in the table at the end of this news release, new intervals are ones in which there are numbers reported under the 3-kg LeachWell heading but not under the 1-kg LeachWell heading).
Several notable high-grade results include 2 m @ 21.00 gpt Au in hole BCRC14-098, 2 m @ 13.54 gpt Au in hole BCRC14-145, 1 m @ 16.42 gpt Au in hole BCRC14-190, 1 m @ 22.31 gpt Au in hole BCRC14-285, 1 m @ 29.18 gpt Au in hole BCRC14-287, and 1 m @ 60.78 gpt Au in hole BCRC14-307. Also notable are several long intercepts including 5 m @ 9.89 gpt Au in hole BCRC14-098, 4 m @ 5.93 gpt Au in hole BCRC14-190, 6 m @ 2.27 gpt Au in hole BCRC14-266, 4 meters @ 5.57 gpt Au in hole BCRC14-285A, 4 m @ 8.01 gpt Au in hole BCRC14-287, and 7 m @ 2.52 gpt Au in hole BCRC14-292.
“We continue to see improvements in grades from our 3-kg LeachWell results,” commented Dr. Quinton Hennigh, President and CEO of Novo Resources Corp. “A comparison of grade-thickness between 3-kg and 1-kg LeachWell results from 300 intervals shows a 33% improvement in gold grades. Also impressive, we now have 126 new reportable gold intervals mainly from subordinate reefs previously considered unimportant. We eagerly await all remaining 3-kg LeachWell results expected back over the next 2-3 weeks at which time resource modeling can commence, a process that will take about 4-6 weeks.”
Please refer to the Company’s news release dated June 11, 2015 for further detail about reverse circulation drilling at Beatons Creek. The Company’s news release dated April 21, 2015 provides a comprehensive review of the project and sampling procedures the Company has employed. All remaining 3-kg LeachWell results will be released once data has returned from the laboratory, expected in approximately 2-3 weeks’ time.
Quality Control and Quality Assurance
Reverse circulation drilling discussed in this news release was conducted under the supervision of Dr. Quinton Hennigh, Novo’s Chief Executive Officer, President and a Director. Drill samples were submitted to Genalysis Laboratories, Perth, WA for analysis. Sample weights range from approximately 15-20 kg. Initially, a 1-kg split of raw drill cuttings was taken from each sample interval and subjected to the LeachWell technique, an accelerated CN leach (6 hour leach time). Due to the nuggety nature of gold mineralization at Beatons Creek, all drill samples containing greater than 0.15 gpt Au are also undergoing LeachWell analysis using a 3-kg split. Results from the latter mode of analysis are expected to demonstrate acceptable analytic variability and thus will be used for resource modeling.
Dr. Quinton Hennigh, a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President and a Director, has approved the technical contents of this news release.
