Guyana Frontier Mining has inked an agreement to drill at the Marudi Mountain gold project during 2012. This project is situated in southern Guyana of South America.
The company has engaged Versa Drilling of Guyana to conduct the diamond drilling for a minimum of 3,000 m at the Mazoa Hill and Marudi North target regions. The company is expecting to mobilize the drill equipment during the first week of January, 2012.
The company has prepared drill pads for the campaign at the Marudi North target, wherein drilling of at least 12 holes have been proposed. The objective of the drilling campaign is to examine gold mineralization present in the outcrops, which were open in trenches of 2011. The trenching program by the company at Marudi North during the fall of 2011 discovered these targets depending on the strong association with mineralized gold at the contact with metachert-quartzite rocks group.
Guyana Frontier has planned to drill confirmation holes at the south Mazoa Hill target region, where extensive gold mineralization was found by the early explorers in the 1990s. The company has re-logged and re-sampled the split core at the historical hole 91-60 of Mazoa Hill that yielded 2.61 g/t gold over 151.80 m and 2.96 g/t gold over 111.05 m, during July 2011.
