Mining News: Northern Neighbors: Core drilling at Orion returns solid assays

Atac Resources Ltd. Sept. 12 provided results from the first three of 10 diamond drill holes planned for the Orion zone, located within the Nadaleen Trend at the eastern end of the company’s Rackla gold project, Yukon Territory. Orion was discovered with rotary air blast drilling in 2015. ARB-15-026, the discovery hole, returned 47.24 meters of 3.79 grams per metric ton gold and bottomed in mineralization. Atac followed up at Orion with RAB drilling earlier this year. High volumes of water, however, affected the quality and quantity of sample material. As a result, Atac further followed up with diamond core drilling. AN-16-010, the first hole of this diamond drilling, cut 61.29 meters of 2.75 g/t gold and successfully twinned and extended the 2015 Orion discovery hole. Step-out holes AN-16-011 and -012 returned 14.89 meters of 1.01 g/t gold and 5.85 meters of 1.09 g/t gold, respectively.
