The new resource was calculated from results of drilling in 2023-2024 in addition to the 7,074 metres (21 holes) completed to arrive at the initial estimate.
“With just 11,725 metres of additional diamond drilling since the initial mineral resource estimate was published in 2023, we have substantially increased the number of ounces contained at the Blackjack gold deposit by over 2.5 times while also increasing the overall grade,” commented Sitka Gold’s CEO Cor Coe.
“This updated resource estimation reflects the quality of this discovery, highlighted by the robust, non-refractory gold mineralization that has a significant core of higher-grade material of 1 g/t or greater that begins at surface and extends to a currently defined depth of 660 metres,” he added.
