Labrador Gold Corp. (TSX.V:LAB | OTCQX:NKOSF | FNR: 2N6) (“LabGold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the latest results from recent drilling targeting the highly prospective Appleton Fault Zone over a 12km strike length. The drilling is part of the Company’s ongoing 100,000 meter diamond drilling program at its 100% owned Kingsway Project.
Drilling Results
Highlights of the drilling include an intersection of 20.88 g/t Au over 5 meter that included 124.21g/t Au over 0.81 meter and 7.41 g/t Au over 1.0 meter in Hole K-22-206, and 6.04 g/t Au over 1.20 meter in Hole K-22-208. Both holes were drilled at the north end of Big Vein.
“We continue to follow up on the success of last year’s drilling at Big Vein with another high-grade intersection at the north end of the zone. Big Vein has now been drilled over a strike length of approximately 520 meter along the west side of the Appleton Fault Zone and remains open to the northeast and to the southwest,” said Roger Moss, President and CEO. “Drilling is ongoing at both ends of the zone to extend the strike length of the mineralization.”
Quality Assurance and Quality Control
True widths of the reported intersections have yet to be calculated. Assays are uncut. Samples of HQ split core are securely stored prior to shipping to Eastern Analytical Laboratory in Springdale, Newfoundland for assay. Eastern Analytical is an ISO/IEC17025 accredited laboratory. Samples are routinely analyzed for gold by standard 30g fire assay with atomic absorption finish as well as by ICP-OES for an additional 34 elements. Samples containing visible gold are assayed by metallic screen/fire assay, as are any samples with fire assay results greater than 1g/t Au. The company submits blanks and certified reference standards at a rate of approximately 5% of the total samples in each batch.
