Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - April 15, 2021 – Bathurst Metal Corp. (TSXV:BMV) (“Bathurst” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the company has submitted the permit application for diamond drilling the Turner Lake Main Gold Zone. The company’s 100% owned Turner Lake Property consists of 3 mineral claims covering 3500 hectares, immediately north of and adjacent to the recently acquired TED, Iron Formation, gold project. These projects are located approximately 55 kilometres north -northwest of the community of Bathurst Inlet in the Kitikmeot District of western Nunavut, Canada.
Hardy Forzley, President and CEO of Bathurst Metals stated, “The Turner Lake project is known to contain significant gold concentrations along an iron/magnesium tholeiite contact with visible gold noted in almost every diamond drill hole crossing the structure. The drill permit once approved will allow the company to commence drilling testing the Main Gold Zone on a 50-by-50-metre pattern with the plan to conduct an NI-43-101 resource study upon its completion. The initial program is proposed to complete 8 diamond drill holes testing the down-dip plunge of known higher-grade gold mineralization. The Main Gold Zone remains open along strike and to depth.”
About the Turner Lake Project – Nunavut
The Turner Lake 3,500-hectare property contains the Main and East gold zones and the Nickel Knob massive sulphide mineral deposits. The gold zones are hosted along a classic Archean age, iron/magnesium tholeiitic contact with gold mineralization occurring mainly within a crackle fractured greywacke containing quartz veinlets to veins; visible gold is common. Discovered in the 1960s the Main gold zone has only had 22 diamond drill holes tested across the contact from Chevron minerals in 1986-1989, and Northrock Resources in 2008/2009.
