Drilling is focused on the FMN zone, where the high-grade intersection occurred. The latest results include multiple gold-mineralized intercepts over 500 metres of strike length, including the highest gold-silver intercept (857.64 gram-metres) ever drilled on the Shovelnose gold property.
The highlighted drill hole SN22-212, which returned 23.03 metres of 37.24 g/t gold and 214.70 g/t silver, is over 2 kilometres from the heart of the South zone open-pit resource.
In January, Westhaven outlined an open-pit resource for the South zone totalling 10.6 million indicated tonnes grading 2.32 g/t gold and 11.43 g/t silver, plus 9.2 million inferred tonnes grading 0.89 g/t gold and 3.47 g/t silver.
“We believe the FMN zone has the potential to contribute significantly to the property wide precious metals inventory. It is not uncommon in enriched epithermal systems to discover multiple high-grade gold chutes and, given the strong…
