Project highlights:
- Completion of the 2000 m reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at Kelly's Prospect, Ragged Range.
- Six holes tested the Kelly's Ridge area following up on rock chip samples returning up to 15.5 g/t Au and 535g/t Ag, and a historic drill intercept of 1.5 m @ 22.97g/t Au (DDHK2 drilled in 1969).
- Two holes were drilled beneath the high-grade Kelly's historic copper workings, testing potential chalcopyrite extensions at depth (historic production: 609 t of cupreous ore with a grade of 19% Cu, mined 1955-1970).
- Two holes tested a new conceptual target called Kellys NE. § RC drilling at the Sterling Prospect has returned anomalous gold results up to 6 m @ 0.2g/t Au from 83 m (22RRC010) associated with extensive sericite-sulphide alteration.
Nicole Galloway Warland, Managing Director of Thor Mining, commented:
"We are pleased to report that the 2000 m drilling program at the Kelly's Prospect, Ragged Range is now complete. The program was designed to follow up on prospective rock chip samples, including a high-grade, historic drill intercept. We look forward to reporting the results of the program in due course.
"Drilling at Sterling has highlighted several zones of intense alteration with anomalous gold warranting detailed structural mapping and sampling, including veining associate with the 6g/t rock chips at Sterling central "Kink" area."
