New Found Gold Corp (TSXV: NFG) this morning released the drill results from three holes conducted at its flagship Keats Zone at its Queensway Project, located in Gander, Newfoundland. Highlights from the drill results include 61.8 g/t gold over 13.7 metres in hole NFGC-21-118.
The highlight hole consisted of a 21 metre down-plunge step-out hole to the south from what was previously the furthest south intercept at the zone. Having intersected mineralization beginning at a depth of 211.15 metres, it is currently the deepest intercept to date on the property, with drilling at this hole ongoing. The hole is reportedly at a depth of 581 metres as it looks to intersect the Appleton Fault.
The zone as a whole has now reportedly been defined over 285 metres down-plunge, while remaining open. Step-out drilling is currently occurring to the south with drilling being conducted vertically above and below the zone, as well as to the north.
