iMetal Resources, Inc. (TSXV: IMR) today announced the commencement of trenching operations at its Gowganda West property in Northern Ontario. The property covers roughly 147 square kilometres in the Shining Tree volcano-sedimentary succession of the Abitibi Greenstone Gold Belt.
The program is taking place over a two-week time frame, and will focus on Zone 1 and Zone 3. The two zones notably returned strong gold values in an April 2021 sampling program, with Zone 3 seeing samples containing 11.3 g/t, 29.6 g/t and 67.9 g/t gold, while Zone 1 returned sample values of 27.2 g/t and 16.35 g/t gold.
Activities at Zone 1 will include stripping exposures that were cleared in recent decades, where bedrock reveals silica flooding and potassic alteration. Trenching is to be conducted over a 50 metre length, where the firm will see field crews take continuous samples of the mineralized system, from which the company is to identify potential drill targets.

Zone 3 is currently slated to see three trenches conducted over a 200 metre strike length, to assess the continuity of mineralization and further test the grades. iMetal is hopeful that trenching operations will show these grades extending to the northeast.
