Edgemont Gold Corp. announced that field crews and drilling equipment are now on site at the Dungate copper-gold porphyry project. The first drill pads have been built and drilling is expected to begin shortly. The Dungate project is located 6 km southeast of the town of Houston in the Omineca Mining Division of B.C. This Phase I drill program will be comprised of six 500 metre drill holes to test several large high chargeability IP anomalies identified by Edgemont in 2020 that have never been drill tested at depth. Prior to this drill program, the last drilling at Dungate was comprised of only a limited number of shallow holes (<100 m) completed in 1976. The first four holes to be drilled at Dungate will test a strong cohesive high chargeability IP anomaly (greater than 60 mv/v) approximately 1.2 km in diameter. Subsequent drilling holes will test, for the first time, another possible intrusion, much larger in size, under overburden to the north of the initial Dungate showing The only deep hole (333 m) reported on the property, DDH C75-1, was drilled by Cities Service in 1975 and drill logs reported 142 m of "abundant chalcopyrite" at the bottom of the hole. No assay results are available. The drill log also indicates that a 24 m zone of quartz-pyrite ("Qtz-Py") breccia was intercepted about 90 meters downhole with similar characteristics to that reported by Sun Summit at the nearby Buck high-grade gold discovery this January. This zone appears to be potential high grade gold target within the larger copper-gold porphyry and will be tested early in the drill program.
