Super Gold Inc. Announces Underground Drilling Yields Very Encouraging Results

11.05.2017  |  CNW

INTERSECTIONS INCLUDE 61 G AU/T OVER 3.30 METRES, 69.3 G AU/T OVER 2.85 METRES, AND 1525 G AU/T OVER 0.30 METRES

TORONTO, May 11, 2017 /CNW/ - Superior Gold Inc. ("Superior Gold" or the "Company") (TSX.V:SGI) is pleased to announce the results of the ongoing underground diamond drill program at its 100%-owned Plutonic Gold Mine in Western Australia.  The drilling has been conducted since the Company completed the acquisition of the Plutonic Gold Mine on October 12, 2016, until March 17, 2016.

Results are provided for 281 drill holes for a total of more than 21,000 metres. The drill holes were primarily completed for resource definition and grade control.  18 of these holes were conducted as part of the underground exploration program.  The costs of the program are included within Superior Gold's All in Sustaining Costs, and are separate from the Company's larger scale surface and underground exploration program currently being planned. Resource definition was designed to increase the confidence level of the resource in areas where drilling was limited. Grade control drilling was completed to provide additional information for stope design ahead of mining.  The exploration holes were completed to test previously undrilled areas, in the search for possible extensions of mineralization to potentially expand the overall resource. 

The drilling focussed on 8 zones – Area 134; Baltic; Caribbean; Caspian; Cortez; Indian; Pacific; and Timor.  Significant intersections were encountered in all zones. 

KEY FINDINGS

  • 330 intersections encountered more than 5g Au/t
  • 157 intersections encountered more than 10g Au/t
  • 63 intersections encountered more than 20g Au/t
  • Exploration intersections of up to 64.0g Au/t over 2.20 metres, 35.3g Au/t over 3.75 metres, and 19.7g Au/t over 4.60 metres were obtained
  • 90% of the exploration holes encountered intersections of more than 5g Au/t

The location of the most significant intersections are shown in Figure 1, and the details of all holes are summarized by zone in Table 3.

EXPLORATION HIGHLIGHTS

The Company's work to date has identified that prior work at the mine had tended to identify the mineralized zones as isolated, unconnected units.  As a result of the interpretive work by the Company's geological staff, underground exploration has begun to examine the potential link between the various zones.  This initial program was very successful with more than 35 intersections in excess of 5g Au/t.

Exploration drilling in the Baltic area was aimed at testing the gap between the Baltic and Caribbean Zones.  This initial work has identified at least 2 potential new lodes adjacent to the Caribbean resource zone, in addition to potential extensions of existing lodes.  Follow up work will be aimed at defining the mineralization in greater detail.

The drilling in the Pacific zone targeted an area outside the resource, which was thought to have potential for high grade, sub-vertical structures.  The program successfully intersected mineralization in two principal zones.  Work is being planned to develop a preliminary block model for both.

Graphical details of the mineralization identified in this initial underground exploration work will be provided as the work develops.

The most significant exploration intersections are highlighted in Table 1 below.

Chris Bradbrook, President and CEO of Superior Gold stated "These results demonstrate the strength of the mineralized system at the Plutonic Gold Mine.  The Resource Definition and Grade Control drilling provides greater confidence in the continuity of the mineralization, whilst the Exploration Drilling provides confidence in our ability to grow the resource.  We are extremely encouraged by these early drill results and continue to work towards increasing the confidence level in the resources, and expanding the overall resource.  One of our principal goals is to increase the level of underground reserves and therefore also the mine life".
