Newcore Gold has announced the start of a 5,000-metre discovery and resource expansion drill program at the company’s 100%-owned Enchi gold project in Ghana.

Approximately 5,000 m of drilling is planned and will include both diamond and RC drilling. Diamond drilling will focus on continuing to define the higher-grade sulphide mineralization at depth with a goal of delineating the potential for high-grade underground resources at Enchi.

RC drilling will target near-surface oxide and shallow sulphide mineralization with a goal of outlining additional resource growth along strike and depth at all deposit areas.

RC drilling will also be planned to follow-up on discoveries made as part of the recently completed 90,000 metre drill programmes. Additional exploration work is also on-going, including metallurgical test work and trenching of high-priority surface anomalies.

Luke Alexander, President, and CEO of Newcore stated:

“We are excited to continue to define the multi-million-ounce potential of our Enchi Gold Project through the drill bit. This next phase of drilling will continue to focus on a multi-pronged exploration approach, with drilling targeting resource expansion at existing deposits, continuing to identify the higher-grade potential at depth, while also defining the broader potential for Enchi to host a long-life gold camp through drilling of earlier stage targets. We look forward to continuing to unlock the large-scale potential at Enchi.”

This next phase drill program will follow-up on the accomplishments achieved with the recently completed 90,000 m drill program that was successful in highlighting the district scale potential across the 216 km2 property and the strong potential to delineate additional resources at Enchi.
