🤩 Argus Main Hits

Onyx Gold Corp. (TSXV: ONYX) (OTCQX: ONXGF) has returned assay results from nine new holes at Argus Main, highlighted by visible gold, located in Ontario, Canada.

Highlights:

  • 67.0 metres of 1.7 g/t gold, including:

    • 6.0 metres of 13.2 g/t gold.

    • 1.0 metre of 73.4 g/t gold.

  • 144.5 metres of 0.7 g/t gold, including:

    • 75.0 metres of 1.1 g/t gold.

  • 21.2 metres of 2.1 g/t gold from previously reported drilling on the same trend.

Argus Main is increasingly defining higher-grade plunging zones within a broad mineralised envelope, while step-out holes at Argus West extended the corridor roughly 100 metres to the west-southwest.

The Argus Gold System now spans approximately 1.4 kilometres of strike and more than 700 metres vertically, with the company's 110,000 metre drill programme about 75% complete.

👏 Tommy High-Grade

Independence Gold Corp. (TSXV: IGO) (OTCQB: IEGCF) (FSE: 625) reported high-grade gold and silver at the Tommy Vein System within its 3Ts Gold and Silver Project, located in British Columbia, Canada.

Highlights:

  • 31.04 metres of 9.07 g/t gold and 70.56 g/t silver, including:

    • 9.77 metres of 18.24 g/t gold and 90.69 g/t silver.

  • 27.63 metres of 5.86 g/t gold and 51.83 g/t silver, including:

    • 5.07 metres of 16.20 g/t gold and 126.23 g/t silver.

The two holes, drilled roughly 50 metres apart, intersected multi-stage quartz-carbonate veining and brecciation at an interpreted intersection of radial and arcuate structural features.

The company noted the results support a structural model that may help identify wider, higher-grade zones elsewhere within the vein system.
