VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 13, 2021 / Sassy Resources Corporation ("Sassy" or the "Company") (CSE:SASY)(FSE:4E7)(OTCQB:SSYRF) is pleased to announce that crews have mobilized for the start of 2021 drilling at the Company's Westmore gold-silver discovery where a first-ever series of relatively shallow drill holes last fall confirmed that widespread surface mineralization in quartz vein swarms and stockworks extends to a vertical depth of at least 200 meters and remains open in all directions.
Sassy is aggressively following up on this new grassroots discovery in Northwest B.C.'s prolific Eskay Camp while exploration crews are also preparing for a busy summer along the More Creek Corridor and Hanging Valley areas where upcoming results from a recently completed VTEMä Survey will serve as an important guide.
Mr. Mark Scott, Sassy CEO, commented: "This is an exciting time for Sassy as we carry out fully-funded exploration campaigns in Canada's two most exciting gold camps right now, Eskay and Newfoundland. Armed with the data gathered during the 2020 field season and our recently-completed Foremore VTEMä Survey, we now know the Westmore Intrusive to be much larger than originally thought and coeval with some of the significant economic deposits in the region. We look forward to following up this year on the extensive high-grade gold identified at surface, the very encouraging 2020 preliminary drilling at Westmore and the VTEMä results we're confident will generate a number of new targets for follow up across the Foremore Property."
Highlights:
- Phase 1 diamond drilling, beginning mid-July, will focus on the Westmore Discovery Zone and will be designed to test areas where 2020 surface sampling highlighted high-grade gold and silver values hosted in quartz vein swarms and stockworks that cut the Westmore Intrusive;
- 2019-2020 surface sampling at Westmore produced 860 surface samples with an average grade of 2.78 g/t Au. 145 of these samples (17%) were equal to or greater than 1.0 g/t and the top 20 surface samples from Westmore averaged 74.7 g/t Au and 574.7 g/t Ag (see table below);
- Sassy recently completed a 1,687 line-kilometer airborne VTEMä Survey of the entire Foremore Property. Preliminary interpretation of the data generated by this high resolution, deep penetrating survey is ongoing;
- Phase 2 diamond drilling will be guided by VTEMä results and will test several gold-silver plus base metal occurrences identified by Sassy in the More Creek Corridor, and the Hanging Valley area on the east side of the Foremore Property;
- Geological mapping and prospecting will continue at Westmore to define local controls to the gold-silver mineralization identified in 2020 and to define other gold-silver rich areas within the Westmore Intrusive.
