AURYN DRILLS 9.15 METERS OF 3.48 G/T GOLD AT COMMITTEE BAY AND PROVIDES EXPLORATION UPDATE

 

Auryn Resources Inc. has released initial results from its summer exploration drill program at the Committee Bay gold project located in Nunavut, Canada. The results represent 15 per cent or 21 holes out of 148 holes currently drilled across 18 targets in the belt this summer. Highlights include 9.15 metres of 3.48 grams per tonne gold and 1.53 metres of 7.48 g/t Au which ended in mineralization where the hole was lost at West Plains. West Plains remains open at depth.

 

Committee Bay program highlights:

 

Drilling five additional targets (total drilled targets increased from 13 to 18);

Increased drill metres from 25,000 to 29,000;

Drilling is ongoing and mineralization remains open for expansion

 

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 21, 2017 -- Velocity Minerals Ltd. (TSXV:VLC.V) ("Velocity" or the "Company") announces that it has received laboratory results for the first two drill holes (Table 1) at the Company's advanced Rozino gold project ("Rozino" or the "Project"), located within the Tintyava prospecting and exploration licence area in southeastern Bulgaria.

"These results are among the best grades ever returned from the project and the drill holes clearly demonstrate the potential for thick, high-grade gold mineralization between the historical drill fences," stated Keith Henderson, Velocity's President & CEO.  "The Company's exploration model at Rozino is that gold mineralization is controlled by northwest-trending, steeply dipping structures.  Most historical holes were drilled vertically or angled parallel to what is believed to be controlling structures; neither of these previous approaches adequately tested mineralization."

VANCOUVER, BC--(August 17, 2017) - ATAC Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: ATC) ("ATAC") is pleased to announce results of the first four diamond drill holes from the Conrad Zone within the Osiris Project at the Rackla Gold Property, Yukon.

All four holes were designed to test new areas of mineralization and crosscutting faults believed to be associated with high-grade gold mineralization in the vicinity of the 350 Faults on the western side of the Conrad Zone. All holes that intersected gold mineralization returned grades consistent with previous Conrad drilling.

 

Highlights

Drilling intersects significant gold mineralization in OS-17-232 in a previously untargeted area of the Conrad Zone;

OS-17-233 intersects 67.06 m of 3.35 g/t gold including 15.14 m of 7.25 g/t gold within and adjacent to the 350 Fault zone; and,

OS-17-234 intersects near-surface gold mineralization in the hinge area of the Conrad Upper Zone anticline.
