Midland Exploration (TSXV: MD) this morning announced that it has discovered a new gold bearing zone at its wholly owned Samson project, located southeast of the Fenelon and Tabasco deposits held by Wallbridge. Found at a depth of 106.45 metres, the company intersected 99.1 g/t gold, 71/3 g/t silver and 0.17% lead over 0.40 metres. with the new zone referred to as Golden Delilah.
The discovery was made by the company following a diamond drill campaign that consisted of five drill holes that totaled out to 1,287 metres of drilling. While designed to test induced polarization, the company managed to hit gold, with 13 visible gold grains 1-2 mm in diameter were found over 40 centimeters. The rest of mineralization contained gold values between 1.57 g/t and 2.23 g/t.
The vein was hit a second time with a second drill hole, intersecting 2.21 g/t gold over 0.45 metres at a depth of 120.7 meters as well. The vein is currently being viewed as a potential subsidiary of the lower detour fault.
