Conquest Resources Ltd. has selected a contractor for the first phase of a two-phase drilling program at its Alexander Gold Project in Red Lake.
Boart Longyear Canada will carry out approximately 4,000-meters of drilling in six planned holes with work scheduled to commence in early September.
In late 2008, Goldcorp Inc. drilled four deep holes from its adjacent Red Lake mine property onto Conquest's 100 per cent-owned Alexander property, resulting in the deepest gold mineralization intersection on Conquest's property at vertical depth of 300-metres returning 14.26-grams per tonne (g/t) of gold over 0.61 metres.
