Beaufield accelerates drilling at Urban with the addition of a second drill
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Jul 31, 2017) - Beaufield Resources Inc. ("Beaufield") (TSX VENTURE:BFD) is pleased to announce the addition of a second drill on its Urban property, Quebec.
As part of its ongoing summer exploration program, Beaufield has started drilling a new area of its property located immediately north of the Bonterra Resources Gladiator gold deposit to test for potential extensions of mineralization in the area. Of particular interest, Bonterra recently reported an intercept of 21.5 g/t gold over 3.0 m from the North Zone (Bonterra Resources July 20th News Release), located within 50 metres of the property boundary with Beaufield's Rouleau property according to company maps and ground reconnaissance.. It should be noted that no drilling has ever been conducted on Beaufield's ground in this location, there are no outcrops present and the area has just recently become accessible by road.
To date, Beaufield has completed fifteen (15) diamond drill holes totaling 3,012 metres since early June on the Rouleau and Macho blocks. This work has targeted geophysical anomalies from its recently completed airborne electro-magnetic (VTEM+) survey. The VTEM targets have been prioritized according to intensity, presence of associated gold mineralization and underlying prospective geological structures. Due to the level of exploration activity in the region assay turnaround has been slow, but results are pending and will be released at the earliest possible opportunity.
Beaufield's 21,400 hectare, 100% owned Rouleau and Macho properties are strategically and centrally located in the Urban-Barry district of Quebec.
Please refer to Beaufield's website for the company's corporate presentation, including maps of Beaufield's Urban property.
