The eight zone has an indicated resource grading 20.5g/t gold and an inferred resource grading 12.4g/t gold.

According to the company, the new gold-bearing intercept opens a new target area for discovery. With this, the 2019 drilling programme has been expanded to 20,000m.

The company reported that a drill hole targeting the midpoint intersected a 10m wide, gold bearing zone, at 2.2g/t gold over 10.4m, within ultramafic rocks of the Balmer assemblage.

Pure Gold president and CEO Darin Labrenz said: “Madsen continues to be a dynamic project with resource and production potential well beyond the feasibility base case. Outside of the feasibility mine plan we have made multiple discoveries and established new mineral resources within a system that keeps expanding along strike.

“This latest drilling represents a sea change in exploration prospectivity, establishing the tremendous potential of a brand new mineralised corridor that is anchored by the high grade eight zone at depth and the outcropping Fork and Russet South zones at surface.”

Spanning over 46km², the Madsen Red Lake mine is one of Canada’s high grade development-stage gold properties. The first gold is expected to pour late next year.

Next month, a third rig will start production level underground drilling.
