New Found Gold (TSXV: NFG) continues to have impressive success with its large drill program at the Queensway project near Gander, Newfoundland. The company this morning formally identified yet another gold zone on the property after another discovery was made.
The discovery was made after a six-hole program was completed on a region of the property being identified as Keats West. The program focused on the western side of the Appleton Fault Zone, the main structure that runs through the Queensway property.
Highlights from the results include:
- NFGC-22-594: 2.52 g/t gold over 8.10 metres
- NFGC-22-681: 17.87 g/t gold over 4.20 metres
- NFGC-22-686: 10.36 g/t gold over 10.50 metres
The two large intercepts made under the six hole program are said to be spaced approximately 50 metres apart along strike, with the zone currently known to extend for a strike of at least 120 metres and a depth of 100 metres. The discovery is said to open a 9.45 kilometre long target corridor on the west side of the Appleton Fault Zone.
“The ‘West Side Story’ plot thickens with the discovery of high-grade mineralization in a structure akin to the Keats-Baseline Fault and with similar epizonal characteristics seen elsewhere along the AFZ, particularly at Keats. Currently one drill is operating at Keats West which will be joined by a second drill shortly, and two more drills are now testing additional targets on the west side of the AFZ,” commented Melissa Render, VP of Exploration.
