Drill hole IN17-03 encountered 125 meters (405 feet) of strongly brecciated jasperoid hosted in the Devonian Horse Canyon formation (an important host for gold in Carlin-type deposits) starting at a depth of 435 feet and extending to 840 feet. Within this formation:

-- 85.4 meters (280 feet) returned assays of 0.64 grams/tonne of gold.

-- This included 50.5 meters (165 feet) of 1.00 grams/tonne gold.

-- This also included 13.7 meters (45 feet) of 2.27 grams/tonne gold.

"This new discovery is hosted in a long interval of the very favorable Horse Canyon formation located in a northwest striking cross-faulted structure, both of which are classic characteristics of the major gold deposits of the Cortez trend, such as the neighboring Goldrush, Cortez Hills, and Pipeline deposits,” said Derick Unger, chief geologist for NuLegacy Gold. ...
