Expansion Of Gold-Copper-Iron Mineralization At Golden Hills


VANCOUVER - NSJ Gold Corp. reported completion of assay results from the recent drill program and future plans for its Golden Hills Project located in Arizona. The program targeted north-northwest trending geophysical anomalies and consisted of 16 drill holes.  In total, the drill program intersected 335 feet (102 meters) averaging above 0.4 grams per ton Au, 695 feet (212 meters) averaging above 0.1% Cu, and 680 feet (207 meters) averaging above 20% Fe. The geophysics defined broad zones of specular hematite that are related to major pre-mineral alteration zones, but did not identify gold/copper bearing structures or bedded mineralization. Future drilling should incorporate fences of holes across the hematite bodies which will allow much better definition of the gold/copper zones.

All findings from the recent drill program and geophysics will be used to plan the next phase. Holes will be planned to expand on and confirm previous high grade gold hits, including the twinning of previous holes. Some holes will be drilled at a 45 degree angle to the east through high grade zones previously intersected with westward drilling to help define the angle and thickness of high grade structures. Fences of drill holes are planned to expand on existing mineralization, with a resource report being generated after the next round of drilling. Metallurgical testing of the hematite is also planned to see how much the iron content can be upgraded. Drill testing of the intrusive target, located to the north of the current drilling, is planned after a district wide airborne geophysical survey is conducted.
