Silverado has unearthed a five-meter continuous chip sample of grade 5.22 ounces per tonne of gold at the Solomon Shear zone of its Nolan gold mine in Alaska.
Because of the "exceptionally high content of gold assayed", a second sample was re-assayed and confirmed the value.
The discovery of the high gold assay in Trench H was supplemented by significant gold values found in Trenches G and J, with the antimony values reaching as high as 30 per cent.
"Solomon Shear is a highly mineralized gold-bearing system that extends over five miles on Silverado's Nolan property," a spokesman for the company said.
"It has been the focus of Silverado's extensive exploration program, which includes geophysical and geochemical surveys in addition to the trenching program.
Lightning cracks the blackened sky,
Hear the thunder chariot ride
All brave men with hearts of war
Ride the path of mighty Thor
