Drill results from B2Gold’s (TSX: BTO; NYSE: BTG) Goose project in Nunavut, which is under construction and expected to yield first gold next year, may point to a longer mine life and bigger resource base, the company said Wednesday.
Drill hole 24GSE-683Z1 at the Nuvuyak deposit at Goose cut 28.8 metres at 6.39 grams gold per tonne from 982.2 metres. It had a higher-grade interval of 23.49 grams gold over 6.5 metres from 1,005 metres depth. This extends high-grade mineralization by 150 metres to the north-northwest.
“These results affirm the continuity of high-grade zones at Nuvuyak, suggesting a larger resource base and potentially extending the Goose project’s mine life,” CEO Clive Johnson said in a statement. The company is in the midst of a US$28-million, 25,126-metre drill campaign at Goose that has found more high-grade gold at Nuvuyak deposit and the Mammoth target at the property. This points to expansion potential beyond the current mine plan, the company said.
