Drill Agreement Signed For Upcoming Program At Herbert Gold Project


VANCOUVER - Grande Portage Resources Ltd. has signed a drill agreement for its upcoming 2023 diamond drill program at the Herbert Gold project in S.E. Alaska. NASCO Industrial Services and Supply has been engaged to drill up to 20,000 feet of diamond drill core on the Herbert gold project. The upcoming drill program, subject to regulatory approval, is expected to start within 90 days and will consist of one rig utilizing up to six pads to drill approximately 15 holes.

Ian Klassen, CEO, said, ”We are very excited to start this season's drill program. The 2023 drill program will continue to test a mix of infill and new targeted areas. We have prioritized and will target many geologically promising high value targets at the Main, Goat, Deep Trench, Ridge and Sleeping Giant veins from multiple locations. Our geologists have gone to great lengths to ensure that this upcoming program targets the type of success we have enjoyed over many years building the high-grade Herbert Gold Project."

The Herbert Gold Project is host to abundant composite vein-fault structures containing ribbon structure quartz-sulfide veins and lies prominently within the 100 mile long Juneau gold belt, which has produced millions of ounces of gold through a total depth range of thousands of feet. Individual veins and vein systems can be traced for over 500 m on average along strike and from surface (130 m above mean sea level) to depths of 350 m below sea level (open).
