Corvus Gold Hits 5.4m of 16.2 g/t Gold and 1,218 g/t Silver in Yellow Jacket Feeder Zone, North Bullfrog Project, Nevada
Corvus Gold Inc. ("Corvus" or the "Company") - (KOR.TO)(CORVF.PK) is pleased to announce the latest results from diamond drilling in the Yellow Jacket Zone at the Company's 100%, North Bullfrog Project near Beatty, Nevada. Hole NB-12-138, which is outside the current in-pit resource as reported in the Preliminary Economic Assessment (NR 12-07, Feb.28, 2012) is the fifth core hole to be drilled in the Yellow Jacket Zone that encountered high-grade gold mineralization (Table 1). This latest intersection returned three separate high-grade intervals with the best being 16.2 g/t (0.47 ozs/t) gold and 1,218 g/t (35.5 ozs/t) silver over 5.4 metres including 2.1 metres of 33.0 g/t (0.96 ozs/t) gold and 2,870 g/t (83.7 ozs/t) silver within quartz veined hydrothermal breccia. These high-grade intervals have elevated selenium and tellurium values similar to those reported in the silver-rich gold mineralization found at the historic Bullfrog Mine approximately 10 km's to the south of North Bullfrog.
