en.Wedoany.com Reported - Fortitude Gold Corporation has obtained new drilling results from the White Rock West area of its East Camp Douglas Project in Nevada, USA, with one hole intersecting 45.7 meters averaging 1.024 grams per tonne gold, including a 28.96-meter interval averaging 2.14 grams per tonne gold.
These results are part of the company's exploration program aimed at deepening the understanding of the project's geological conditions and advancing the definition of mineral resources at this property, which is considered to have significant potential. Current work remains focused on identifying new near-surface mineralized zones, which are expected to support project growth. The drilling data complements previous results, further confirming the gold potential of the White Rock West area as one of the primary exploration targets within the East Camp Douglas Project.
Allan Turner, Vice President of Exploration at Fortitude Gold, commented on the results, stating that the continued receipt of high-quality gold drilling results brings the company closer to establishing a resource in the White Rock West area. Turner also highlighted the continuity of mineralization observed during exploration, noting that the extensive high-quality gold near the surface is encouraging, and the company is working to delineate multiple resource definition areas for this highly prospective district-scale property.
Jason Reid, CEO and Chairman of Fortitude Gold, emphasized the significance of one interval in this drilling program. He pointed out that over 45 meters of gold grading 1.28 grams per tonne, including over 6 meters grading 5.24 grams per tonne gold, starting at a depth of only approximately 11 meters below surface, adds critical ounces to the area. Reid also discussed the next steps for the project and the approvals required to expand exploration activities, stating that the company currently holds only two drilling permits, and obtaining a Plan of Operations will allow for the opening of numerous additional drill sites on the East Camp Douglas property. The company explained that securing new permits would significantly increase the drillable area and help continue evaluating the project's potential. Fortitude Gold believes that the East Camp Douglas Project has favorable conditions to further expand the discovered mineralization and advance toward future development stages.
