EXPLORING A LOW SULFIDATION EPITHERMAL GOLD SYSTEM
Lemhi County, Idaho
Ophir Gold Corp. has an option to earn a 100% interest in the past producing Breccia Gold Property, located in Lemhi County, Idaho.
The Property was mined and exploited by at least eight adits during the 1930s and early 1940s, with several thousand tons of mineralized material extracted, targeting high-grade gold mineralization within quartz veins, hosted by a wide zone of brecciation.
Revisited in the 1980’s, exploration work included mapping and sampling, completion of at least two drill holes and the collection of a 4,621 ton bulk sample which reportedly returned an average of 0.335 ounces/t gold.
2021 drill results confirm the presence of gold and silver mineralization. Highlights of the drill results include, BG21-004, which returned 13.02 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 46.6 g/t silver over 7.4 metres and BG21-004, which returned 6,940 g/t Ag, over 9.5 metres*. The results are suggestive of a significant low-sulfidation, epithermal gold system with a very low level of erosion and strong potential for significant gold mineralization at depth. These encouraging results will help the Company design the 2022 drill program.
*The bottom 9.5 m of hole BG21-05 returned very poor core recoveries (less than 10 per cent), and the grade may not be representative of the interval.
