Encouraging sample assays
Yesterday, Jaxon, in a release, said it had been encouraged by initial sample assays from the Backbone prospect at the Red Springs project in British Columbia and revealed that preparation for drilling was underway.
Chip sample results and another 55 surface grab/chip samples were collected at the Backbone and North Cirque areas from the 2017 and early 2018 exploration seasons.
These confirm up to 1000 metres of strike length at the high-grade gold-bearing tourmaline breccia mineralization zone at Backbone and North Cirque areas.
Highlights of the sampling were five metres at a grade of 6.78 grams per tonne (g/t) gold, including two metres grading 15.28 grams per tonne (g/t).
There was also 13 metres grading 2.86 g/t gold including 2 metres grading 8.96 g/t and; 1 metre grading 6.57 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 1.35 % copper in another channel, the firm said.
