Azimut Exploration Inc. expands Drilling Program on the Elmer Gold Discovery
![Azimut Exploration Inc. expands Drilling Program on the Elmer Gold Discovery](https://www.goldseiten.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
Two rigs have drilled the following thus far:
- 5,610 metres (26 holes) to test the lateral and depth continuity of the Patwon Gold Discovery
- 255 metres (2 holes) to test other parts of the ELM-1 target
- 534 metres (4 holes) to test the ELM-2 and ELM-3 targets.
Drill hole locations are shown on Figures 3 and 4, and the coordinates are provided in Table 1. Samples from eleven (11) of the holes have been sent to the ALS Minerals laboratory in Val-d'Or, Quebec.
Visual observations from several holes support the expanded drilling program:
- Significant quartz veining and pyrite (finely to coarsely disseminated pyrite, semi-massive to massive pyrite stringers)
- Significant associated alteration (pervasive silica, sericite, chlorite, tourmaline and carbonates)
- Presence of native gold grains.
Five main target areas (ELM-1 to ELM-5) are located within a highly prospective corridor 2.5 kilometres long by 1.0 kilometre wide, open at both ends. The target areas are mostly defined by induced polarization anomalies along several subparallel axes, for a cumulative length of at least 7 kilometres. As a first phase, the current program aims to assess the gold potential from surface to a vertical depth of 200 metres. To date, drilling has concentrated on ELM-1.
