A2Gold completes initial drill program at Eastside project in Nevada
A2Gold has finished a five-hole drilling program at its Eastside gold-silver project. Laboratory assay results are expected in the coming months.
A2Gold Corp. has completed a 1,936-meter reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at the Pente target within its Eastside gold-silver project near Tonopah, Nevada. The exploration effort focused on three structural corridors identified through previous geological mapping.
Preliminary observations from the site include signs of significant hydrothermal breccia and alteration. CEO Peter Gianulis noted that while drilling encountered difficult ground conditions that necessitated an early conclusion to the program, the data gathered provides necessary insight into the site's mineralization potential.
The collected samples are currently undergoing assay testing. A2Gold management anticipates that results may take several months to process due to current backlogs at laboratory facilities. Future exploration strategies at the Pente site will be determined once these results are integrated with the existing geological findings.
