Ascot Completes Over 118,000 Metres of Drilling in 2017

07.11.2017  |  GlobeNewswire

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 07, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ascot Resources Ltd. (TSXV:AOT) (“Ascot” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that during 2017 379 holes were drilled for a total 118,800 metres. The goal of the program was to follow up on high-grade targets from previous drill programs including the newly discovered Ben and Prew subzones in the Northern Lights area. Work included a combination of broadly spaced drilling to outline targets, as well as tighter drill spacing on specific higher-grade areas for inclusion in a new resource estimate. The Company is expecting assay results from 72 holes between now and early December which completes the 2017 program.

As per details in a previous release, the Company has engaged David Rennie of Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. (“RPA”) as the qualified person to assist management in the development of the new resource estimate. The new resource estimate will provide the basis for a PEA to explore mining opportunities utilizing the existing mine and plant infrastructure.

Recent Drilling Highlights:

  • The new Prew Subzone continues to deliver good results specifically hole P17-1506 which had an interval grading 10.57 g/t Au over 6.00 metres including 22.10 g/t Au over 2.00 metres and P17-1493 which had an interval of 15.90 g/t Au over 4.22 metres including 46.70 g/t Au over 1.00 m. The Prew Subzone (named in memory of Mr. Mike Prew) remains open along strike and has been traced for 500 metres down plunge, with a general width of 150-200 metres.

  • In the Ben Subzone, currently being drilled for resource definition purposes, hole P17-1529 returned 7.37 g/t Au over 4.9 metres, which included 36.00 g/t Au over 0.87 metres. Hole P17-1533 in higher grade area returned 71.90 g/t Au over 1.00 m. This higher-grade area in the Ben subzone has been traced down plunge for 700 metres with a general width of 200 metres.

  • In the Northern Lights West zone, hole P17-1498 returned 3.85 g/t Au, 90.0 g/t Ag and 5.09% Zn over 15.4 metres including 9.18 g/t Au over 2.00 metres. This steeply dipping limb has been traced for 400+ metres of strike length with 150-200 metres of dip length.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control
Analytical work is being carried out by ALS Lab Group. Quality assurance and quality control programs include the use of analytical blanks and standards and duplicates in addition to the labs own internal quality assurance program. All samples were analyzed using multi-digestion with ICP finish and fire assay with AA finish for gold. Samples over 100 ppm silver were reanalyzed using four acid digestion with an ore grade AA finish. Samples over 1,500 ppm silver were fire assayed with a gravimetric finish. Samples with over 10 ppm gold were fire assayed with a gravimetric finish. Identified or suspected metallic gold or silver are subjected to "metallics" assays. Also for extreme high gold grades a concentrate analysis is performed with a fire assay and gravimetric finish accurate up to 999985 ppm Au limit (ALS Au-CON01) method. Sampling and storage are at the company's secure facility in Stewart with bi-weekly sample shipments made to ALS Labs Terrace prep site.
