/CNW Telbec/ -
TOMAGOLD CORPORATION (TSXV: LOT)
("TomaGold" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that its joint venture partner, IAMGOLD
Corporation ("IAMGOLD"), has started a new 5,000-metre drilling program on the Monster Lake
property, located 50 kilometres southwest of
Chibougamau, Quebec
.
The objective of the drilling program is to evaluate select targets along the structural corridor
associated with the 325-Megane deposit. The areas to be drilled include: south of the 325-Megane
zone where historical sampling from surface trenches returned up to 6.34 g/t Au over 3.1 metres and
4.26 g/t Au over 2.2 metres from trench ML-10-M1 on Megane 1 Showing; adjacent to the Big
Mama target where an east-west mineralized structure converges towards Hole ML-15-147 located
directly in the Monster Lake structural corridor which returned a mineralized interval grading 3.64 g/t
Au over 10.72 metres (see press release by TomaGold dated
June 25, 2015
); and in the area of the
Annie zone and its immediate extensions where a mineralized interval grading 237.6 g/t Au over 5.7
metres was returned from Hole M-12-60 (see press release by TomaGold dated
April 11, 2012
).
"This next phase of drilling could be a key milestone for the Monster Lake project, as it will test the
exploration potential of priority targets in the Monster Lake gold-bearing corridor outside of the 325-
Megane zone," said
David Grondin
, President and Chief Executive Officer of TomaGold. "We have
high hopes for this program, since the selection of new drilling targets was based on the compilation
of a significant amount of data gathered from the most recent exploration work and earlier drilling
programs."
