VANCOUVER (Yosefardi) – Barisan Gold Corporation’s activities at Upper Tengkereng are at an all time high with two deep (1,750-metre) drill rigs operating 24 hours per day. Tengkereng gold-copper porphyry discovery is located in the Province of Aceh, Indonesia.
Meanwhile final assays for hole UTD-006 have been received from the laboratory. On a whole, UTD-006 is the highest-grade hole drilled so far at Upper Tengkereng.
Upon further review of the core, UTD-006 intersected two distinct but continuous mineralized zones from 142 to 736 metres that returned significant mineralization.
Following the results of UTD-006, Barisan Gold has now identified three distinct high-grade zones at Upper Tengkereng, all of which are open in all directions and at depth.
Drilling over the next few months will look to expand these high-grade zones, delineate them in more details and target the potential for additional high-grade zones.
Drilling at hole UTD-007 began on May 7, 2014. As of June 3, 2014, drilling at UTD-007 had reached 486 metres. Drilling has been slower than anticipated due to the unusually high rainfall experienced at site during most of the month of May.
Hole UTD-007 is being planned to a maximum depth of 1,500 metres or until UTD-007 exits the high grade zone vertically or horizontally.
Drilling at hole UTD-008 began on May 23, 2014. The hole is being drilled with an azimuth of 235 degrees and an inclination of 80 degrees from the same drill platform where holes UTD-005/006 were drilled. As of June 3, 2014, drilling at UTD-008 had reached 462 metres. Drilling has been faster than anticipated, averaging over 40 metres per day.
From surface until approximately 62 metres in length, UTD-008 intersected strong argillic-advanced argillic hydrothermal breccia mineralization. Hole UTD-008 is being planned to a maximum depth of 1,500 metres or until UTD-008 exits the high-grade chalcocite-chalcopyrite rich zone vertically or horizontally.
