Intersections Extending Strike Of Falcon Gold Zone
SUDBURY - Northern Superior Resources reported the latest step-out drilling results from the Falcon Gold Zone at the Lac Surprise Gold property. As with the first 8 holes of the Phase 2 program the next 6 holes reported here all intersected the Falcon Zone, including the best gram meter intersection drilled to date in the Falcon Zone in hole LCS21-032 which intersected 2.02g/t AuEq over 42.6m. Hole 32 was drilled 650m west of the property boundary extending the current strike of the Falcon Zone to 650m from 450m reported on May 27th, 2021. The Company has now intersected the Falcon Zone in all of the first fourteen holes of the 26-hole, Phase II Stage 1 Program targeting the Falcon Zone.
All six holes intersected mineralized intervals at the Falcon Gold Zone. Importantly, the results from these six holes extends the strike length of the Falcon Zone by another 200m, to a total of 650.0m west of the northeastern boundary. In addition, there are excellent vertical continuity across the entire 650m strike length defined to date, with sections such as holes LCS19-010ext, LCS21-34 and LCS21-035 showing 170.0m of vertical continuity (middle of LCS19-01ext. to surface is 250.0m) and previously released section compromising holes LCS19-005, LCS21-025 and LCS21-024 which showcased 229.0m of vertical continuity. The Falcon Zone remains open towards surface and at depth.
The mineralized material that the Falcon Gold Zone is hosted in consists of coarse clastic materials (mainly greywacke) with moderate to strong Pyrite content varying between 2% to 6% mostly in thin dissemination, fractures, veinlets controlled and often in stringers) spatially related to moderate to strong silicification and sericitization. Presence of quartz-molybdenite-pyrite veins may be an indicator of high-grade gold zones. The host rock and mineralization style are similar to the Nelligan Gold Deposit. As such, the Falcon Gold Zone is thought to represent its western extension. The Falcon Gold Zone remains open along strike to the West and to depth.
