Garson Gold Drilling Intersects 48.77 Metres of 2.43g/t Gold
October 31st, 2008 | by mantrionline |GARSON GOLD CORP. is pleased to announce diamond drill results from hole BDY08-77 drilled at the Boundary Zone on its 100% owned New Britannia Mine property, located at Snow Lake Manitoba. Highlights of BDY08-77 include the intersection of multiple mineralized lenses including a 48.77 metres (m) intersection with an average grade of 2.43 grams per tonne (g/t) gold.
Garson recently completed a series of short diamond drill holes designed to test the near-surface open-pit potential of the Boundary Zone. The drill program objective was to establish continuity and orientation of multiple, near-surface mineralized lenses and associated structures. “The results of this hole and previously announced drill results, continue to build confidence in the near-surface open-pit potential at Boundary Zone,” stated David Tafel, President of Garson Gold.
Hole BDY08-77 intersected gold mineralization over a vertical interval of approximately 66 m starting at a depth of approximately 18 m below surface. In addition to the intersection of previously interpreted lenses, BDY08-77 intersected additional mineralization in the down plunge position which remains open at depth.
The assay results from BDY08-77 are summarized in the table below, and a cross section of Boundary Zone can be viewed at: http://www.garsongold.ca/i/pdf/BoundarySection900_Oct27_ColouredText.pdf

The Boundary Zone is located approximately 500 m south of the No. 3 Zone and approximately 1 kilometre north of the New Britannia main mine and mill complex. The Company is nearing completion of a scoping study to evaluate the economics of re-establishing mining at No. 3 Zone by reopening and extending the existing ramp and re-activating the 2,150 tonne/day mill which is currently on care and maintenance. Continued success and delineation of a near surface resource at Boundary Zone could significantly impact future production options from the property.
