Diamond drilling at the the South Claims joint venture held equally between Kirkland Lake Gold Inc. and Queenston Mining Inc. has expanded gold mineralization deeper into the property.
Four holes of the five holes returned gold showings, including 1.04 ounces of gold per ton (opt) over a core length of 21.6 feet, and another featuring 1.82 opt over a length of 9.3 feet.
In July 2008, the joint venture announced an indicated mineral resource of 43,000 tons grading 11.1 opt, and an inferred mineral resource of 73,000 grading 1.24 opt.
An advanced underground drill program is still underway to expand the high-grade mineral resource further east and south.
