- East Limb of A-Zone Yields Visible Gold
- Sixty North Gold Expands Exploration Success
- New Gold Intersections at A-Zone
Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – August 26, 2024) – Sixty North Gold Mining Ltd. (CSE: SXTY) (FSE: 2F40) (OTC Pink: SXNTF) has intersected the East Limb of the A-Zone, uncovering a significant 1.0 m wide quartz vein and silicified zone with visible gold. This discovery is accompanied by less than 2% sulphides, including pyrite, sphalerite, and galena. Galena is often linked with higher-grade gold in quartz veins.
The vein was identified within the 970 Crosscut East (970 XCE), located 50 m from the Main Ramp and 42 m east of the West Limb of the A-Zone, at an elevation of 212 AMSL. This location is 8 m below the East Stope, where 2,085 tonnes of ore graded at 25.57 grams per tonne (gpt) were mined, and 16 m below the West Stope, where an estimated 12,500 tonnes were mined at a reconciled grade of 30.7 gpt gold, as reported in the NI 43-101 Technical Report by Webb in 2023, highlighting the significance of gold stocks in the region.
The 970 XCE intersected the East Limb 10 m north of historical drill hole DDH 89-14, which recorded 25.37 gpt gold over 1.7 m, 18 m north of DDH 89-23 with 23.86 gpt gold over 1.2 m, and 9 m below DDH 89-7, which showed 45.95 gpt gold over 3.1 m.
The first set of samples from this intersection was submitted on July 24. These samples have been received, logged, and prepared, with fire assay fusion currently underway. The results are expected to be reported in the first week of September. A second batch of samples is being collected and will be submitted before the end of August, with results anticipated in the first week of October.
