Shore Gold Inc
2016 CORE DRILLING PROGRAM UPDATE
Shore Gold Inc. has completed the NQ (48 millimetres) core drilling, consisting of five holes and totalling 1,257.97 metres of drilling, on the Star West portion of the Star kimberlite located within the claims of the Fort a la Corne joint venture (FALC-JV). This core drilling is required to further expand the internal stratigraphy of the Star kimberlite, extending and infilling geological continuity from the previous programs. The core drilling program was conducted by Newmac Industries Ltd. of Prince Albert, Sask. Shore geologists are responsible for the supervision of the drilling programs and subsequent detailed core logging. The drilling of these five holes has been challenging, as the holes are situated on the western extremity of the Star kimberlite, and two layers of kimberlite are separated by poorly consolidated sediments. This drilling on Star West aimed to delineate the extent of all kimberlite units, particularly the lower unit, which is high-value Cantuar kimberlite (CPK).
