Northern Tiger Resources Reports Assay Results at Sonora Gulch Property, Yukon Drill hole SG-11-58 Intercepts 0.45 g/t gold and 3.0 g/t silver over 234.0 metres
|
| | November 7, 2011: Northern Tiger Resources Inc. ("Northern Tiger" or the "Company") (NTR: TSX-V) announces assay results for all nine holes (2,649 metres) drilled in 2011 at the Sonora Gulch Project in the central Yukon. The 2011 drill program focused on the Gold Vein Zone - a 1.4 kilometre long by 500 metre wide geochemical anomaly averaging 161 ppb gold-in-soils. Thick intercepts of gold bearing sulphide mineralization were intercepted in three drill holes and the mineralization remains open. Key results include:
- SG-11-57 - 0.42 g/t gold and 3.8 g/t silver over 94.0 metres
- SG-11-58 - 0.45 g/t gold and 3.0 g/t silver over 234.0 metres
- SG-11-59 - 0.44 g/t gold and 2.6 g/t silver over 110.0 metres
"This was Northern Tiger's first significant drill test of the Gold Vein Zone and we intersected broad zones of mineralization in holes 57, 58 and 59," says Greg Hayes, President of Northern Tiger. "Thick sequences of disseminated mineralization from surface suggests that Sonora Gulch has bulk tonnage potential in addition to the high-grade vein and skarn type mineralization we encountered in previous drill programs."
Gold mineralization in Holes SG-11-57 and SG-11-58 is hosted by quartz-feldspar porphyry, and in in Hole SG-11-59 by metasedimentary rocks cut by quartz-feldspar porphyry dykes. The rock units exhibit argillic alteration and are strongly fractured to brecciated, contain 5% fine grained disseminated pyrite, and are cut by a stockwork of narrow quartz-carbonate-pyrite veinlets. The quartz-feldspar porphyry also contains narrow arsenic-lead-antimony sulphide veins. Most holes in the 2011 drill program were drilled at azimuths of 95o to 115o to test whether more subtle north-south structures provided important mineralization controls in addition to the much stronger northwest-trending structures previously recognized and generally targeted in prior drill programs. The thick zones of mineralization in Holes SG-11-57, 58 and 59 occur at the intersection of a north-trending magnetic low with the northwest-trending contact of the Dawson Range Batholith. The orientation of the mineralization cannot be determined at this time due its disseminated/stockwork nature at the intersection of two structures.
