Hill Zone Drilling Continues to Yield Large Near-Surface Oxide Gold – Silver Mineralization Including 175 Feet Grading 0.034 Opt Au Equivalent in 200 Foot Step-Out at General Metals Independence Project
General Metals Corporation is pleased to announce drilling in the Hill Zone has encountered additional large high grade results including 175 feet interpreted to be true width, grading 0.034 opt Au Equivalent in hole GM-80. Holes GM-79 and GM-80 are situated on Section 3,600 North in the Hill Zone Target. Hole GM-80 was drilled as a 200 foot down dip step out from mineralization encountered in hole GM-79. Both holes intersected wide zones of mineralization estimated to have a true thickness of roughly 150 feet.
Successful drilling in this previously untested area of the Hill Zone is very important because it demonstrates continuity of mineralization between sections 3400 North and 3800 North near the south end of the Hill Zone. Drilling continues to define and expand surface oxide gold – silver mineralization at the Independence which the Company believes is amenable to open pit mining and heap leaching, with an estimated true width ranging from 45 to more than 200 feet, (more…)
