Osprey Commences Diamond Drill Program at Goldenville Gold Project, Nova Scotia

11.07.2017  |  Newsfile
Vancouver, July 11, 2017 - Osprey Gold Development Ltd. (TSXV: OS) (the "Company" or "Osprey") is pleased to announce the commencement of its 2017 drilling and resource development program for the Goldenville Gold Project and Mitchell Lake areas in Nova Scotia. The planned program will consist of approximately 2,500 metres of HQ sized diamond drilling, utilizing one drill rig.

"We are excited to begin a drilling program designed to expand the gold resource at Goldenville both along strike, and by infilling areas within the resource with sparse drilling," said Company President Cooper Quinn. "We've been working with the historic geophysical data, reprocessing and reanalyzing the IP to understand the structural controls on mineralization and to identify potential areas of thickened argillite."

Holes will be sited between the Stuart and Bluenose areas where existing drilling is sparse, as well as around the Bluenose Shaft to the east of the current resource. Limited drilling has been conducted in these areas, however, gold mineralization has previously been identified at, and near surface in these areas with high gold grades reported in historic drilling and sampling.

Several drill targets will also be tested 3.5 kilometres west of the existing Goldenville resource at Mitchell Lake, identified through a combination of surface mapping and sampling performed earlier this year as well as reprocessing the previously acquired geophysical datasets. The airborne geophysics has been key to delineating structures that may control mineralization in this area and identifying drill targets. Gammon Lake Resources drilled two holes in 1997 on Osprey's claims at Mitchell Lake, one of which returned 20.3 metres of 1.33 g/t gold.

Quinn commented further that, "At Mitchell Lake we have identified some excellent near-surface targets that are untested. Recent work by Osprey in this area has discovered more outcrop exposure than historic records indicated. Mapping in these areas has also helped solidify a new set of drill targets. It would be very exciting for Osprey to unlock the potential of this zone, just 3.5 kilometres from to the current resource at Goldenville."
