Drilling to commence in gold belt north of La Ronge

Jan 26, 2021 | 5:00 PM

The commencement of drilling programs are expected to begin soon at Mas Gold Corporation’s Greywacke Lake and Preview North properties.

In a public announcement made Jan. 26, the company stated it has received permits to start core drilling in those two areas. Work has already begun in Preview North to re-establish access trails and clear drill sites for a 12-hole program on the North Lake deposit.

Crews are also in the field re-establishing historical drill access trails on the Greywacke Lake property in preparation for an initial 15-hole core program focused on expanding the Greywacke Lake North deposit.

“We are very pleased to be moving ahead with a program designed to confirm, upgrade, and expand the resources at both the Greywacke North and North Lake gold deposits,” Mas Gold Corp. Vice-President of Exploration David Tupper said. “We also are designing a core drill program to support the definition of a resource at the Point deposit.”

The Greywacke North deposit, which hosts several known stratabound, high-grade gold-bearing zones, has 255,500 tonnes. The North Lake deposit located at Preview North Property is estimated to contain 417,000 contained ounces of gold.
