Castle Peak Mining has announced additional assays that have shown a wide anomalous gold halo with high-grade structures of gold. The company completed 36 m of sampling additionally on the hole NKDDH016 situated on the Apankrah target.
Extension of former mineralized interval was from 16 m encountering 3.3 g/t gold to 20 m of 3.1 g/t gold. Grades over the background have outlined the anomalous zone, which may contain small sub zones. This NKDDH016 is a 100 m step out hole and yielded 7.2 g/t gold over 7.5 m.
Currently, the work ongoing at the Nkwanta concession has included prospecting and mapping of further structures, which have the ability to house high-grade shoots and veins. The primary sampling works from artisanal miners at the Nana target’s ENE end has yielded 6 g/t gold as sample value from a quartz vein. Further grab samples from artisanal workers’ tailings piles have encountered gold values of 6.6 g/t.
Darren Lindsay, Castle Peak Mining’s CEO and President, has commented that the extensive anomalous corridor containing the high-grade shoot and 100 m step out, down plunge show the abundant prospects of the Apankrah target.
The company intersected 17.4 g/t gold over 2.8 m, 12.5 g/t gold over 4.0 m, 3.13 g/t gold over 20.0 m and 1.26 g/t gold over 52.0 m in the hole NKDDH016, located at the Apankrah target.
