Balmoral’s Bug South Deposit Continues to Deliver Broad Gold Intercepts

 

 

 

 

 

 Balmoral Resources Ltd. (TSX: BAR) (OTCQX: BALMF) today released the final drill results from the Company’s spring drill program on its Detour Gold Trend Project in Quebec. A series of holes testing the Bug South gold deposit (see Figure 1), on its wholly owned Martiniere Property successfully extended the Bug South deposit to a vertical depth of approximately 385 metres with a broad intercept of 14.28 metres grading 3.51 g/t gold, including a very high grade interval of 0.46 metres grading 66.60 g/t gold (see Figure 2). The Bug South deposit remains open down-plunge to the south-southeast. Drilling is currently focused on additional expansion of the deposit to depth.

 

 

The near surface continuity of broad zones of gold mineralization at Bug South was further confirmed with intercepts of 48.70 metres grading 1.26 g/t gold and 38.78 metres grading 1.77 g/t gold in two infill holes testing the deposit between 150 and 200 metres vertical depth (See Figure 3 and Figure 4). Both intercepts (in holes MDE-17-287B and MDE-17-288) contain several higher grade sub-intervals (see Table below).

 

 

“The summer program is now in full swing. It is designed to continue the growth of the Bug Lake gold deposits, while also exposing our shareholders to the broadest range of discovery opportunities since 2014 when the Grasset discovery resulted in significant share price appreciation.” said Darin Wagner, President and CEO of Balmoral Resources. “Gold exploration targets throughout the Martiniere Property, and the broader Detour Gold Trend Project, are on tap for drill testing. This includes a number of targets located on the Detour East Property which covers over 20 kilometres of the same geological environment which hosts the multi-million ounce Detour Lake gold mine on adjoining property to the west.”

Two holes, MDE-17-282 and MDE-17-284, were also completed to better define the eastern and western margins of the Bug North gold deposit at intermediate depths in order to better target the central plunge line of the deposit during the summer program. Both holes intersected near surface intervals of gold mineralization in the largely untested area between the ME-23 Zone and the recent high-grade Horsefly gold discovery.
