Cache Exploration Commences Summer Drill Program at Kiyuk Lake Nunavut Gold Project
![Cache Exploration Commences Summer Drill Program at Kiyuk Lake Nunavut Gold Project](https://www.goldseiten.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
The exploration program will consist of drilling, till sampling and prospecting. This will be the first exploration work at Kiyuk since the successful 2013 drill program.
CEO, Jack Bal Comments:
"12,000 m of previous drilling from 2008-2013 returned highly promising results at Kiyuk Lake. This season's program builds on the successful 2013 program and exploits the potential we recognized when we acquired Kiyuk."
Exploration Highlights
-
1.To expand the known gold mineralization discovered at the Rusty and Gold Point zones through 2,000 m of drilling
-
2.To prioritize future drill targets and develop new mineralized zones through grid till sampling and prospecting over new gold targets previously identified in property-wide till sampling
Rusty Zone

Drilling at the Rusty zone will be focused on defining gold mineralization at depth and at surface to the south east. This infill drilling will help move the Rusty zone towards defining a resource. Drilling in 2013 demonstrated strong continuity of breccia-hosted gold mineralization within the Rusty zone.
Highlights from previous drilling at Rusty include:
-
- 52.4 m at 3.27 g/t Au from surface
- 35.9 m at 4.95 g/t Au from 134.1 m
- 61.5 m at 3.3 g/t Au from 159 m
- 24.1 m at 3.40 g/t Au from 34.0 m
Gold Point Zone
The Gold Point zone is a high priority target located in a 24 kilometre magnetic anomaly that will receive further drilling in this program. Ground magnetics, prospecting and mapping in 2012 and 2013 identified a possible extension of Gold Point mineralization by the discovery of similar mineralization, in boulders, in the polymictic conglomerate that hosts the Gold Point zone. These extensional zones - South Gold Point and East Gold Point respectively - were further defined by ground magnetics as zones of magnetite destruction coincident with east-west structures, which are identical to those found at the Gold Point zone. Drilling in 2017 will target these new areas.
Previous drilling at the Gold Point zone returned:
-
- 63.6 m at 2.84 g/t Au from 148 m
- 12 m at 2.4 g/t Au from 120 m
- 12 m at 3.9 g/t Au from 163.5 m
Grid Till Sampling and Prospecting
Grid till sampling will be completed between the Cobalt and Amundsen mineralized zones to better define drill targets after grid till sampling aided in the discovery of Amundsen, Bancroft and other mineralized zones in 2013. Further grid till sampling, will be used to confine prospective zones from new areas of gold anomalism identified by property-wide (1 km spacing) till sampling completed in 2012. These areas include north of Kiyuk Lake and to the north east of the Cobalt and Captain Anderson zones. Tighter spaced sampling will increase the Company's ability to investigate areas of gold and pathfinder element anomalies and aid future drilling.
