VANCOUVER (Yosefardi) – Barisan Gold Corporation continues to extend the high-grade zone at its upper Tengkereng porphyry discover, located in the Province of Aceh, Indonesia.
Since mid July, Barisan Gold has embarked on an 18-month drill program with the objective of producing a maiden mineral resource estimate in accordance with NI 43-101 that will cover the high-grade zone identified near-surface in the south-central part of the deposit at Upper Tengkereng.
Assay results have now been received for the first three holes of this drilling program (holes UTD-009/011/012).
Drilling has continued to extend the high-grade zone with hole UTD-009 pushing the boundaries in a northerly direction and hole UTD-012 in a southerly direction.
UTD-012 in particular returned some of the highest grade intercepts to-date at Upper Tengkereng with a 412 metre intercept of 0.9 g/t gold + 0.5% copper (1.0% copper equivalent at current market prices), which includes the highest-grade 100 metre intercept drilled to-date at Upper Tengkereng with 100 metres of 1.6 g/t gold + 0.7% copper (1.7% copper equivalent at current market prices).
Drilling at Upper Tengkereng continues with UTD-013 having recently been completed and UTD-014 set to begin shortly.
