EnGold Drilling Extends Gold Rich Quartz Veins at Lac La Hache
EnGold Drilling Extends Gold Rich Quartz Veins at Lac La Hache
For Immediate Release. May 6nd, 2019. Vancouver, BC. David H. Brett, President & CEO,
EnGold Mines Ltd., (TSX-V: EGM, “EnGold” or the “Company”) reports drilling at EnGold’s
100% owned Lac La Hache property in the Cariboo region of BC has successfully extended
high-grade gold bearing quartz vein mineralization near the Aurizon Gold Deposit.
The March campaign at Lac La Hache consisted of 7 short holes designed to test continuity and
extensions of two mineralized quartz veins at surface west of the Aurizon Gold Deposit. The
veins include a series of narrow, quartz-carbonate, gold-silver-sulphide rich veins in several new
showings resulting from follow-up to 2018 soil geochemical anomalies, lying in the hanging wall
west of the main Aurizon structure. Additional near-surface grab sampling along the PG Vein
was also conducted.
The 7 hole, 463.3 metre drill program extended the “Main Vein” to 180m total strike length,
which remains open. Drill hole AZS19-74 tested the northwest end of the Main Vein 10 m
beyond the nearest at-surface exposure, cutting 21.2 gpt Au over 0.30 m. Hole AZS19-79
intersected the vein more than 180 m to the SE, about 50 m beyond the previously defined end,
cutting 6.3 gpt Au, 0.48 % Cu, 11.8 gpt Ag over 0.50 m. DDH AZS19-76 tested the Main Vein
below its initial surface exposure, intersecting 164 gpt Au, 0.95 % Cu, 69.6 gpt Ag over 0.15 m.
In addition to the drill campaign, grab samples from trenching on strike of the previously
identified “PG Zone” returned gold values of 40.6, 57.6 and 96.1 gpt, copper values of 1.1, 1.2
and 3.6%, and silver values of 169, 207 and 212 gpt. Full tables of the drill and trenching results
are inserted below. Also, please see inserted image for the location of the holes and grab
samples. Drill intervals reported are core lengths and not true widths as the geometry of the
zone has not yet been determined at the depths reported.
“Although the mineralized hanging wall structures encountered to date are narrow, the high gold
grades are encouraging,” said EnGold VP of Exploration Rob Shives, P.Geo. “and the potential
to extend them laterally and to depth is good. The Aurizon Deposit becomes thicker at depth,
with increased precious metal values locally associated with silicification, perhaps these
hanging wall veins behave similarly. EnGold’s exploration plans here include expanding the
initial soil sampling in search of possible parallel structures, as well as drilling at depth.”
“These gold-rich quartz veins add new excitement to the already compelling exploration
potential at Lac La Hache,” said EnGold CEO David Brett. “We’re looking forward to following
up on our many top-priority targets this year.”
