Mining News: Northern Neighbors: New resource coming for Klaza gold property

Rockhaven Resources Ltd. Oct. 7 released results from the final 14 holes drilled at its Klaza gold-silver property in southern Yukon Territory during 2015. Highlights from this drilling at the BRX zone include: 14.88 grams per metric ton gold and 162 g/t silver over two meters of hole 271; 18.7 g/t gold and 489 g/t silver over 1.05 meters of hole 264; 9.97 g/t gold and 471 g/t silver over 1.26 meters of hole 274; 15.36 g/t gold and 482 g/t silver over 0.96 meters of hole 256; and 5.89 g/t gold and 75.6 g/t silver over 4.43 meters of hole 291. Rockhaven said these holes further delineate areas of high-grade mineralization within and below current resource. Results from the 56 holes drilled at Klaza during 2015 will be incorporated into an updated resource estimate scheduled for completion later this year. In addition to expanding the mineral resource, a substantial portion of this year’s program at Klaza focused on the collection of environmental and engineering data that will be used in future mining studies and permitting applications.
