Cache Exploration Drilling Intersects 26.4 g/t Au over 8m from Drilling in the Rusty Zone at the Kiyuk Lake Gold Project, Nunavut
Significant Release Highlights from Hole KI17-001 from the Rusty Zone:
-
- 26.4 g/t Au over 8m from 108m - 116m
- 5.7 g/t Au over 6m from 132m - 138m
- New style of alteration and mineralization intersected associated with high grade gold mineralization
KI17-001 is a step out hole from KI13-011 targeting the southward extension of gold mineralization intersected in KI13-011 which ended in 24.0 m at 2.5 g/t Au (previously reported). Drill hole KI17-001 was drilled to a depth of 287.75 m and visible gold was observed in a section of strongly altered and brecciated sandstone from 110 meters to 112 meters. The zone was not expected and was above target mineralization. This represents a new, high grade gold interval within the Rusty zone. Abundant visible gold occurs with vuggy quartz veining, sooty pyrite and magnetite infill which is distinct from the dominant actinolite-carbonate veining and breccia at Rusty.
Assay Results Pending
Assay results from the remainder of KI17-001 are expected in the next week. A total of 300 samples from the first three drill holes were shipped to SGS Canada Inc. in Red Lake for gold analysis. In addition, 150 till samples from grid sampling north of Kiyuk Lake have been shipped for analysis to Bureau Veritas in Vancouver.
Drill Results Summary
New assay results from drilling below:
Hole ID | From (m) | To (m) | Length (m) | Gold (g/t) | Zone |
KI17-001 | 108 | 116 | 8 | 26.48 | Rusty |
Incl. | 110 | 112 | 2 | 92.76 | |
KI17-001 | 132 | 138 | 6 | 5.70 | Rusty |
Drilling has now been completed at the Rusty Zone and is now focusing on the extending the known gold mineralization at Gold Point. Drill hole KI17-005, currently being drilled, is targeting a 400 m long zone of magnetite destruction at East Gold Point. This target is located 700 m east of the Gold Point zone and has not yet been drill tested.

Gold Point
Significant step outs are planned at Gold Point where prospecting and ground magnetics have defined two new zones of possible extensions of the known Gold Point mineralization. These extensional zones - South Gold Point and East Gold Point respectively - are defined in ground magnetics as zones of magnetite destruction coincident with east-west structures, which are identical to those found at the Gold Point zone.
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

QA/QC and Core Sampling Protocols
Drill core samples are bagged and sealed and submitted to SGS in Red Lake, Ontario for sample preparation. Gold analysis is completed in the SGS Red Lake lab with a 30g fire assay and AAS finish (code GE-FAA313). Samples returning >5 g/t Au are re-assayed with a gravimetric finish (code GO-FAG303). Control samples (accredited standards and non-accredited blanks) were inserted on a regular basis. Results are assessed for accuracy, precision and contamination on an ongoing basis.
