VANCOUVER, Nov. 19, 2019 /CNW/ - GATLING EXPLORATION INC.
(TSXV: GTR, OTCQX: GATGF) (the "Company" or
"Gatling") is pleased to announce that it is adding a third
drill to its 35,000 meter drill program at the Larder Gold Project
(Figure 1). The additional drill rig will focus on two
important goals: potential extensions of high-grade mineralization
near surface at the Fernland deposit and also testing the
continuity of mineralization between Fernland and Cheminis to
establish a 4.5 kilometer strike length across the three deposits
(Figure 2). Recent drill results have already confirmed the
continuity of 2.5 kilometers of mineralization between the Bear and
Cheminis deposits (see Gatling news release dated October 15, 2019).
Larder Gold Project Highlights
- Accelerated Push for Continuity of 4.5 kilometer Mineralized
Trend. Gatling considers the Fernland, Cheminis and Bear
deposits to be part of one, large mineralized system with a strike
length of 4.5 kilometers. Multiple drill holes from the ongoing
35,000 meter drill program have now established continuity over 2.5
kilometers of strike length by connecting the Cheminis and Bear
deposits. Drilling will continue to test the continuity of
mineralization over 4.5 kilometers using a minimum of three
drills.
- Historical Exploration at Fernland. More than 20,000
meters have been drilled historically at Fernland, establishing
gold mineralization near surface and up to 850 meters depth.
Historic drill results include 22.2 g/t Au over 1.8 meters
in FL-98-5 and 7.6 g/t Au over 1.8 meters in FL-99-40
(Figure 2). In 1938, a shaft was sunk at Fernland to
a depth of 547 feet with three levels where two mineralized gold
zones were outlined. The historic drilling at Fernland is not
included in the historic resource estimates for the Larder
project.
- Recent High-Grade Surface Sampling at Fernland. Gatling
has collected numerous surface grab samples at the Larder Gold
project including samples at Fernland within the South Flow zone
returning values of 7.9 g/t Au and 3.5 g/t Au. These results
confirm historical sampling at the Fernland deposit.
