WARRIOR GOLD COMPLETES DRILLING AND STAKES NEW GROUND
Warrior Gold Inc.’s diamond drilling program at its Goodfish-Kirana project has been completed. A total of 2,218 metres were drilled in 15 holes — two holes (225 m) on the Deloye patents, six holes (870 m) on the Goodfish C zone, and seven holes on the Goodfish A zone (769 m) as shown in images on the company’s website. Drilling at the A zone east was deferred due to logistical challenges and related extraordinary expenses that the company would have incurred as a result of the exceptional snowfall in Kirkland Lake this winter. Over the next couple of weeks, the company will finalize drill core logging and core sampling with split core samples being transported to the ALS geochemical prep laboratory in Timmins. All drill hole results will be released at the same time and are expected to be announced by early to mid-June.
Warrior Gold also announces the staking of three strategic claims through the on-line claims acquisition program of the Ontario government’s MLAS system. These claims are contiguous to the recently acquired Sutton claims and tie the main body of the Goodfish Kirana project to the Sutton claims. The addition of these claims adds 155 hectares to the company’s land position, now totalling 3,859 hectares and closes a strategic pre-existing gap between the known showings. An image on the company’s website shows the Goodfish-Kirana in relation to the company’s nearest neighbours.
Daniele Spethmann, president and chief executive officer, stated: “We are pleased with the progress of the drilling campaign and are looking forward to the results which will be incorporated in the company’s summer field program. As well, the staking of the new claims adds value with the tying in of the Sutton claims to the main body of the Goodfish-Kirana project allowing for continuity with exploration programs.”
Analytical procedures and quality assurance/quality control
Program design, management and quality control/quality assurance are conducted by Warrior Gold’s exploration group under the supervision of Tom Neelands, PGeo, who is the company’s qualified person.
Drill core samples are cut by diamond saw at CXS in Larder Lake, Ont., 27 kilometres east of Kirkland Lake. A halved core sample is left in the core box with the other half core sampled and transported by Warrior Gold’s personnel in securely sealed bags to ALS preparation laboratory in Timmins, Ont. After sample preparation, samples are shipped to ALS’s Vancouver facility for gold and ICP (inductively coupled plasma) analysis. Gold assays greater than three grams per tonne are reassayed on a 30 g split by fire assay with a gravimetric finish. ALS is a certified and accredited laboratory service. ALS routinely inserts certified gold standards, blanks and pulp duplicates, and results of all QC samples are reported.
The technical information contained in this news release has been approved by Mr. Neelands, who is a qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.
