Drilling at the Detour Lake   Kirkland Lake Gold announced results from 25 holes (19,523 m) and one wedge hole (1,110 m) of drilling at the Detour Lake property. The new holes being reported are the third batch of results from the recently announced 250,000 m exploration program, which the Company is targeting for completion by the end of 2021. The program is being completed to collect information for an updated, and potentially expanded, Mineral Reserve as well as to support the completion of a new production plan.   Most of the new holes announced today are from drilling in the Saddle Zone, located between the Main Pit and West Pit locations, which has been underexplored and has no Mineral Reserves and only limited Mineral Resources. Several new holes are also being announced from the area west of the West Pit, which also contains only limited past drilling. Tony Makuch, President  and CEO of Kirkland Lake Gold, commented: “Today’s results provide further evidence that a much lar

Parral continues to generate strong cash flow sufficient to fund the overhead and exploration allowing the Company to be a self-funding junior with one of the largest exploration drill programs in Mexico. With our strong balance sheet which exceeds US$55 million in cash, we are well funded to unlock the true value of Los Ricos. The Company initially acquired the Los Ricos projects in March of 2019 and began the Los Ricos South drilli

Pamlico Project Implications for Mineralization!   Newrange Gold Corp announces that it has discovered a new zone of gold mineralization at its Pamlico Gold Project in Nevada.  Hole P20-091, drilled more than 1,300 meters north-northeast of Pamlico Ridge to test a near-surface Induced Polarization (IP) chargeability anomaly near the historic Central and Sunset Mines, intersected 0.744 grams gold per metric tonne (g/t Au) over 18.3 meters, within a larger envelope of 0.403 g/t Au over 51.8 meters.  Importantly, the entire interval from 122.0 meters to the bottom of the hole at 335.4 meters is anomalous in gold, averaging 0.184 g/t Au over those 213.4 meters.   There is a very sharp geochemical boundary at 115.85 meters, with almost every sample above that being below the assay detection limit and almost every sample below it containing at least anomalous amounts of gold, with the highest at 2.28 g/t Au.  Hole P20-090, drilled on another IP anomaly about 207 meters to the south of 91

Diba gold project excellent results   Altus Strategies announces excellent results from metallurgical testwork on oxide and sulphide samples from the Company’s 100 % owned Diba gold project in western Mali. The work was undertaken to test the amenability of Diba ores to carbon-in-leach and heap leach processing. The findings of the process said, Excellent gold recoveries from oxide and sulphide samples from Diba gold project in Mali. Steven Poulton, Chief Executive of Altus, commented, “The results of the metallurgical testwork on both oxide and sulphide material from Diba are simply excellent. Heap leach amenability shows 95.8 % gold recovery at a coarse crush size.  This recovery is significantly higher than the 80 % modelled in the current PEA which we reported on in July. More significantly, the testwork on fresh (sulphide) samples shows that CIL processing will likely be very effective, with 86.8 % gold recovery at attractive grind sizes.    “Diba already boasts a robust US$81M

Bayhorse Silver achieves from the Harrison Gold Project   Bayhorse Silver has achieved 94.7% plus gold recovery from a composite quartz sample from the RN Mine Zone at the Harrison Gold Project, Harrison, BC. The Harrison Gold Project is permitted for drilling and bulk sampling. Three quartz samples totaling 82.18 kg were taken from the prominent gold-bearing quartz veins from the historically mined RN underground workings. The head grade of the samples was 13.2 g/t Au. Historical reports indicate that a total of 642.82 tonnes (708.58 tons) of mined material was shipped from the RN Zone that contained 30,443 grams of gold (978.89 ounces), 11,000 grams silver (300 ounces) and 616 kilograms of copper.  Mineralization at Harrison consists of free milling gold, with gold sizing from 0.2 to 2.0 mm sized grains, within quartz veins ranging from less than a cm to several tens of cm in width.   Bayhorse CEO Graeme O'Neill comments, "Gold recovery from the metallic screen assays resu
