X-Terra Resources Completes Initial Payments Pursuant to the Exploration and Option Agreements for the Grog And Northwest Properties in New Brunswick
X-Terra completed its due diligence over the properties in October 2018 which confirmed the potential of a large disseminated gold system at Grog Brook. Samples were collected over a length of 390 non-continuous metres where results up to 2.94 g/t Au were obtained. The best gold values were obtained over the Northwest property (comprising the former Dome, Bonanza and Rim properties) and include 1,205.06 g/t Au at the Rim sector of the Northwest property, 149.97 g/t Au at Bonanza and 47.88 g/t Au at the Dome sector of the Northwest property.
Additionally, X-Terra sampled the Rim vein at regular intervals at the surface over 19.9 metres to confirm if gold mineralization is continuous. The average of the nine (9) grab samples returned 125.44 g/t Au over the 19.9 metres (see X-Terra press release dated Dec. 5, 2018, for details).
Lastly, X-Terra also completed a till survey over Northwest and the results highlighted significant gold grain anomalies in the vicinity of the Dome and Bonanza veins, from which two dispersion trains are stemming toward the East-north-east and North-east, related to two distinct glacial events. These results are very encouraging given that gold grain counts in dispersion trains are well contrasted with background, enabling dependable detection of mineralized veins.
