A 36-hole, 22,000-metre drilling program has begun on the Timmins-area Thunder Creek property, which is held as a joint venture between Lake Shore Gold Corp. and West Timmins Mining Inc.
Drilling will focus on expanding and infilling the recently discovered Rusk Zone, as well as testing a variety of other targets. Two drill rigs will turn on the site from nine to 12 months.
To date, the Rusk Zone has been traced for 260 metres down plunge, and continues to be open both up and down plunge.
Results from this zone returned in March include 8.57 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 9 metres, 27.21 g/t over 0.9 metres, and 6.33 g/t gold over 2.6 metres.
The property sits next to the Timmins West project fully held by Lake Shore Gold, which is the operator of the Thunder Creek project and holds a 60 per cent interest.
