Golden Ridge Resources Announces Plans for 2019 Phase I Drilling Program at the Hank Project in BC'S Golden Triangle
![Golden Ridge Resources Announces Plans for 2019 Phase I Drilling Program at the Hank Project in BC'S Golden Triangle](https://www.minenportal.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
A summary of the 2019 drill targets, is as follows:
Williams Zone Target
The Williams Zone porphyry target was originally discovered in 2017 by Company geologists following up on a coincident Cu-Au soil and airborne magnetic anomaly in a low-lying overburden covered area of the Property. HNK-18-001, the inaugural hole, intersected 327m* grading 0.31% Cu, 0.35g/t Au, and 1.94g/t Ag with follow up hole HNK-18-013 intersecting 318.73m* of 0.42g/t Au, 0.34% Cu and 2.20g/t Ag. Both holes ended in mineralization and were limited by the depth capabilities of the lightweight, heli-portable Hydracore 2000 drill rigs used during the 2018 drilling campaign. The 2019 drill program is aimed at testing the Williams Zone discovery at depth and to the northeast where it currently remains open.
Boiling Zone Target
The Boiling Zone epithermal target represents a new drilling discovery made by the Company in 2018 with a highlight intercept of 20.00m* of 11.63g/t Au and 13.8g/t Ag in hole HNK-18-010. Prior to receiving analytical results in 2018, two other holes were drilled nearby to the BZ discovery, which did not intersect the stockwork style Au-Ag mineralization encountered in HNK-18-010. Post-season analysis revealed the zone trends northeast-southwest, which is opposite to the other two holes drilled in the zone in 2018. Indications are that the Boiling Zone is open to the northeast and southwest, which will be tested during the 2019 drill program.
Creek Zone
The Creek Zone represents a new 2019 target in an under-explored area of the Property, as indicated by a very strong gold-arsenic soil anomaly revealed in late 2018. The zone is highlighted by a roughly 600m x 300m soil anomaly with values up to 6.8g/t Au-in-soil (6800ppb Au) situated near the valley bottom of the Property. Similar to the Williams Zone, the Creek Zone does not have outcrop exposure and therefore was not investigated by previous operators.
