Bonterra Resources Inc. (TSX-V: BTR) (US: BONXF) (FSE: 9BR1) is pleased to announce the latest drilling results from the ongoing resource development program at the Gladiator Gold Deposit, including an intersection of 34.3 g/t Au over 2.8 m, which further extended the South Zone to the west by approximately 50 m. Positive assay results from ten recent drill holes have extended the known dimensions of the mineralization in multiple zones westward and to surface at the Rivage Gap area.
“Our winter drill campaign has been completed and was successful in expanding and defining the Gladiator Gold Deposit. We are now excited to commence our spring and summer drill program, which will focus on further definition of the deposit for the upcoming resource update in the latter part of 2018, but to also test regional priority targets to the south west and north east,” commented Nav Dhaliwal, President and CEO of Bonterra.
Highlights and Observations:
Winter Drilling Completed – Spring/Summer Drill Program Initiated
Bonterra has completed the winter drilling campaign, which was focused on step-out and definition drilling at the deposit. The campaign successfully extended the deposit westward, opening multiple zones for further expansion from surface to depth. Multiple drill holes from the winter drilling campaign are in the lab with assays pending.
The 2018 resource development program, comprised of 70,000 m of drilling at the Gladiator Gold Project continues with five active drills, four focused on the definition and expansion of the Gladiator Gold Deposit, and one drill focused on exploration targets west of the deposit. The Company is currently mobilizing a sixth drill to the St. Cyr Gold Prospect to follow up on drilling that was completed as part of the winter drilling campaign.
