White Knight Resources Ltd.: Barrick Commences Drilling on the Patty Indian Ranch Project Cortez Trend, Nevada
White Knight Resources Ltd.’s joint venture partner, Barrick Gold Corporation, has commenced drilling on the Patty project, formerly named Indian Ranch. The planned program comprises 1,850 metres (6,000 feet) of reverse circulation drilling in 3 to 4 holes.
Results from recent drilling provide the incentive for this drill program. Drill hole data from drilling executed between November 2005 and January 2006 show that a thick zone of gold mineralization is hosted within the Roberts Mountains Formation. Structural trends crossing this host will be tested with this drill program.
Previously released drill hole PIR05-10 reported an intercept of 9.1 metres grading 1.58 g/t within a broad zone of low grade gold mineralization in the Roberts Mountains unit. Several holes angled off the same drill pad also intersected significant gold at what is interpreted to be the same host sequence. Highlights of the program occurred in drill hole PIR05-12 which was drilled at an angle of 700 and an azimuth of 3500 from PIR05-10 and returned the following intervals:
– PIR05-12 676 ppb Au (0.023 oz/ton) from 1370 feet to 1460 feet (90 feet) including 15 feet grading 1,820 ppb Au (0.057 oz/ton) from 1380 feet to 1395 feet
Drill hole PIR05-16 also intersected anomalous gold in what is projected as a down faulted block to the south of PIR05-10. The assay interval from 2620 feet to 2,720 feet returned 219 ppb gold over 100 feet with a high of 500 ppb gold over 5 feet.
