VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 25, 2019 / NV Gold Corporation (TSXV:NVX)(OTC:NVGLF) ("NV Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it recently completed an initial reverse circulation ("RC") drill program at its 100% controlled Slumber Gold Project, Nevada. The program consisted of seven (7) drill holes totaling 1,091 meters (3,580 feet). Assays are now pending and expected to be received in October 2019.
Holes SL-02, SL-04, SL-05, SL-06 and SL-07 encountered notable zones of moderate to intense silicification. Quartz veining, locally accompanied by fine pyrite, was observed within some intervals of silicification. Holes were angled to test a prominent, NE-trending, silicified ridge. Alteration halos around zones of silicification include proximal white hydrothermal-clay alteration and distal green propylitic chlorite alteration, a characteristic of other low-sulfidation epithermal deposits in the region.
"Our technical team has observed encouraging robust zones of alteration in the first drill holes from Slumber," commented Dr. Quinton Hennigh, Director of NV Gold Corp. "Alteration and silicification observed in these holes correlate well with our ground magnetic data collected earlier this season. Once we receive assays, we anticipate quickly identifying critical vectors to further explore for high-grade veins within this large, little explored, hydrothermal system."
