July 9, 2019 – Luckystrike Resources Ltd. (LUKY.V) is pleased to announce Drilling has commenced on its 100%-owned Lucky Strike Property, located in the heart of the White Gold District, Yukon. The program will focus on expanding on discovery hole DDLS-18-06 which intersected 4.55 g/t Au over 7.6m within a newly discovered, unoxidized lower zone at Monte Carlo, that is comprised of a broad gold-sulphide rich unit. This drill hole was the only one to test the IP anomaly and confirms the lower zone directly corresponds to the large, subsurface, strong IP chargeability anomaly that is defined for 1.8 kilometres and remains open in all directions. Drilling is planned to test an 800-metre section of this buried, multi- line chargeability anomaly, providing very strong potential to quickly expand the scale and geometry of Monte Carlo gold zone both along strike and to depth.
Luckystrike Highlights
- Diamond drill hole DDLS-18-06 intersected multiple gold-bearing zones at the Monte Carlo zone, returning 1.16 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) over 8.3 meters in the upper zone and 4.55 g/t Au over 7.6m in a newly discovered lower zone comprised of a broad gold-sulphide rich unit (see November13, 2018 news release).
- This drill hole confirms the lower zone directly corresponds to a large, subsurface, strong IP chargeability anomaly that is defined for 1.8 kilometres and remains open in all directions.
- The lower zone is considered highly significant, as drill hole DDLS-18-06 represents the only one to have targeted and confirmed the presence of a broad zone of high-grade gold mineralization within the IP
- 2017 drilling in the upper oxidized zone returned 5.36 g/t Au over 22m (see November 20, 2017 news release).
- Trenching at Monte Carlo returned 0.94 g/t Au over 30m including 1.14 g/t Au over 24m
- The 2018 trenching has also significantly expanded the strike length of known gold mineralization along the Monte Carlo trend from 400m to 560m, and the zone remains open to the northwest and southeast. Soil sampling, rock grabs, and IP indicate a larger footprint of 1800m x 450m on Monte Carlo, part of the 10 km Lucky Strike Corridor.
Message from William (Bill) Chornobay, President and CEO:
“We look forward to receiving the drill results from the newly discovered gold zone. Drilling will be focused on expanding on the 2018 discovery hole DDLS-18-06 to trace the zone both along strike and to depth, which remains open in all directions. With continued drilling success the Luckystrike Property is poised to quickly evolve into a significant gold discovery.”
