Edit this title from the Fast Facts Section
Evolving Gold (EVG-V, EVOGF-Qbb;
$0.98 on V) has just released the final set
of 2009 drill results from the Rattlesnake
Hills project, and they have managed to save
the best for last. The highlight is a series of
high grade intercepts from the North Stock
zone that include better results than those
which kicked off the season, and there were
also a number of new higher grade results
from the Antelope Basin target that add to
its potential.
The high-grade North Stock sections are
16.8 metres of 10.3 g/t; 6.1 m of 17 g/t, and
12.2 m of 8.3 g/t gold in three holes that extend
this part of the system by 100 metres.
These are within intersections of 158 to 82
metres with overall average grades of 3 g/t
to 1.64 g/t gold. The zone remains open to
depth and on trend, and there is now enough
on the table to conceptualize a bulk underground
resource if this coming season’s testing
indicates scale. The strong results from
Antelope included 76 metres of 1.8 g/t and
42 m of 1.5 g/t gold in deeper sections that
contained areas of higher grade. Antelope
also remains open along trend.
Several intercepts in deep testing of the porphyry
target suggest it could have been the
driver for the system. A picture is coming
together of how the deposits formed that
should allow both expansion testing and resource
definition to proceed more smoothly.
We continue to view EVG as settled in and
likely to trade with the gold price for the time
being, with these results helping to support
its market.
