All core widths are down hole widths.
Hole TR-17-01 was drilled on Section 5391600N beneath hole TR-11-119 from Knick's 2011 drill campaign. The section is where Knick's 2011 phase I program was completed. Hole TR-11-119 had down hole intersections of 22.86g/t over 1.55m at a vertical depth of 5.6m and 95.72g/t over 0.02m at a vertical depth of 15m (previously reported Aug. 23, 2011). Hole TR-17-01 intersected the gold zone at 53 meters vertical.
The hole TR-17-02 was drilled 20 meters north along strike of TR-117-01 and intersected the gold zone at 33 meters vertical depth.
The Cossette gold zone is an assemblage of quartz veins and dykes hosted in granitic rocks of the metalliferous Trecesson "batholith". The batholith covers approximately 42km? and is host to gold, silver, tungsten, copper, zinc and lead mineralization. In 2011, drilling by Knick of the Cossette zone encountered true widths of the zone up 3.27 meters, Hole TR-11-61 returned 14.22g/t gold over 3.237m, previously reported?.
Compared with the company's 2011 drill campaign where the veining system was encountered up to 3.27 meters, true width, the 2017 drilling has intersected the zone with down hole widths up to 16 meters, an estimated true width of 12 meters. Knick cautions investors that the width of zone intersected represent the host structure and may or may not be mineralized in part or whole. Knick is anticipating its phase III drill program on the Trecesson Property later this year.
The property is located approximately 80 kilometers north and 10 kilometers northwest of the cities of Val D'Or and Amos, Quebec, Canada, respectively. A total of 33 holes have been completed for a total of 3,203.6 meters of core drilled. Logging and sampling of the core is ongoing.
Results from Knick's 2011 first phase of drilling gold highlights included: 14.22g/t over 3.80m (0.415oz/ton over 12.46ft), 22.69g/t over 1.95m (0.663oz/ton over 6.4ft) and 22.86g/t over 1.55m (0.667oz/ton over 5.08ft), all core widths are down hole widths. These results were previously reported along with others in Knick's news release of Aug. 16, 2011.
Samples were sent to Expert Laboratory in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec for analysis.
Fire assay and metallic sieve methods were implemented for analysis as deemed warranted.
Due to the nature of the native gold mineralization occurring on the Trecesson Property, Metallic Sieve gold analysis was performed on all quartz veining to minimize "nugget effect" results and more accurately assess gold grades.
