Skeena Resources Ltd. reported additional strong gold-silver results from its phase-I drill program at Eskay Creek, including one hole that cut 31.5 meters averaging 10.16 grams per metric ton gold and 331 g/t silver. This initial phase of drilling is designed to infill and upgrade areas of inferred resources in three zones at Eskay Creek – 21A, 21C and 22 – as well to collect fresh material for an upcoming metallurgical study for this historical mine property in British Col...
PolarX Ltd. Nov. 19 said strong assay results from soil and rock‐chip sampling demonstrate the potential for a significant gold‐copper discovery at the Mars prospect on its Alaska Range project. The Mars prospect is located at the northwest end of a 7.5-mile- (12 kilometers) long structural corridor that extends through the Zackly Skarn deposit and onto the Zackly SE porphyry prospect on the east end. Infill soil and rock chip sampling carried out this year has confirmed a 2...

Nov. 20 said assay results for the latest two holes drilled at Saddle North is beginning to show a very large porphyry system at the copper-gold-silver discovery on the company's Tatogga property in British Columbia's Golden Triangle. Hole TTD098, a southeast step-out, cut 685 meters averaging 0.4 grams per metric ton gold, 0.26 percent copper and 1.03 g/t silver from a depth of 473 meters. This long intercept included 280.84 meters of 0.65 g/t gold, 0.38...
Cantex Mine Development Corp. Nov. 20 provided updated assay results for samples from this summer's drilling at the aptly named Massive Sulphide zone on its North Rackla property that topped 30 percent zinc and 20 percent lead.
