Drilling to define an open pit resource continues to encounter significant results from the Paymaster West Project. As drilling progresses to the east and closer to Goldcorp's Dome Mine, VG Gold's exploration has been intersecting encouraging gold mineralization. This most recent result is significant because it starts at a vertical depth of only 60 metres (200 feet) below surface and the zone remains open to the east. The hole successfully extended the mineralization along strike by over 150 meters (500 feet) to the east. The intercept occurs within the main porphyry zone, which is the primary target of VG Gold's drilling. |
