VANCOUVER (Yosefardi) – Barisan Gold Corporation reported the final assay results have been received for holes UTD-007 and UTD-008 at its Upper Tengkereng gold-copper porphyry discovery, located in the Province of Aceh, Indonesia.
UTD-007 was a vertical hole drilled in the eastern part of the deposit to test the vertical extensions of the high-grade zone discovered in that area in holes UTD-002/003/005 whereas UTD-008 was drilled in the southern portion of the deposit to test the newly discovered near surface high-grade zone located in that area.
Hole UTD-008 is the best hole drilled so far at Upper Tengkereng, returning the highest grades intercepted over the entire length of a hole as well as the longest intercept above 1% copper equivalent of any hole drilled so far at Upper Tengkereng.
Similarly, hole UTD-007 was the second best hole drilled so far at Upper Tengkereng, after hole UTD-008.
Drilling continued throughout the summer at Upper Tengkereng, save for the Idul Fitri holiday period in late July/early August. Holes UTD-009 and UTD-011 have since been completed and hole UTD-012 has recently started. Unfortunately hole UTD-010 was abandoned.
UTD-012 began last week and is in the same direction as UTD-011 but with a steeper dip of 85 degrees allowing for a more vertical definition of the high-grade zone in the southern edge of the deposit. As of September 1, 2014, UTD-012 had reached 244 metres in length.
