REBgold Corp.: High Grade Drilling Results Announced on Finnish Asset under Letter of Intent
The text below is quoted directly from Belvedere's press release and is provided for information purposes.
Highlights
- S Lode System extended to surface with BELOSI026 intersecting 6 m @ 11.1 g/t Au
- S Lode System extended down plunge with BELOSI032 intersecting 13.49m @ 5.72 g/t Au
- Several new hanging wall shears intersected in BELOSI025 e.g. 0.53m @ 8.1 g/t Au, 4.42m @ 2.74 g/t Au
David Pym (CEO of Belvedere) comments "We are pleased to see such good results so early in the program. Results to date have provided excellent support for the model of a series of high grade chutes within the lower grade envelope of the main shear. The chutes appear to be continuous down-plunge over hundreds of meters. The hanging wall shear zones encountered in BELOSI 25 are an exciting new development and more drilling is required to test their orientation and extents."

Table 1: Significant intersections using a 0.7 g/t Au cut-off. No top cut is applied. Maximum grade is 29.3 g/t Au over 0.78m, one of four individual samples over 15 g/t Au (0.5 oz/t). Intersections are estimated to be 90% of true width.
This drill program is focused on infilling previous drilling to 40 meter centers between the bedrock surface and 100 meters vertical. The Osikonmäki gold mineralization is associated with a 45 ° south dipping shear zone between 4 and 30 m thick. A series of higher grade chutes pitch at shallow angles across the plane of the main shear, plunging 20° to the ESE. The drill intersections in BELOSI 26, 27 and 32 were targeted to infill and extend one of these chutes called the S Lode and have demonstrated its continuity from surface to more than 350m down plunge. Holes BELOSI 25, 28, 29, 30 and 31 tested the margins and interpreted gaps between the high grade chutes, to help constrain their dimensions. BELOSI025 successfully targeted the main shear at 93m downhole on the southern margin of one of the lode systems. Importantly it intersected three new hanging wall shears and one footwall shear which require follow up with further drilling.
The drilling was undertaken by Drillcon SMOY of Finland, providing 42 mm diameter core. Samples are comprised of half diamond core. Intersections are estimated to be 90% of true width. No top cuts are applied with the highest individual assay being 29.3 g/t gold over 0.78 metres. Core samples are sawn in half on site, prepped and assayed by 30g fire assay with an AAS finish at the Internationally accredited laboratories of ALS Chemex in Finland. The quality assurance-quality control (QAQC) program of Belvedere consists of the insertion of certified standards of known gold content every 20 samples, with blanks at the beginning of each batch. In addition, ALS Chemex inserts a number of blanks and standards into the analytical process. Standards, blanks and duplicates make up approximately 15% of the samples assayed. The remaining half core is retained on site for verification and reference purposes.
