OAKVILLE, ON, June 20, 2012 /CNW/ – Giyani Gold Corp. (TSXV: WDG) ( “Giyani Gold”) is pleased to announce that an initial 1,000 metre drill program has commenced on its 100% owned Abbie Lake-Keating property located in Ontario.
Geophysical surveys conducted by Giyani Gold have identified numerous structures within a large regional deformation zone that management feels worthy of drill testing for gold. Initially a 4-5 hole drill program will be conducted on what management interprets as the wider shear zones outlined by the IP indicated disseminated sulphides.
The core will be logged at a secure facility near White River and split, and sent to Thunder Bay for assay preparation at ALS Chemex’s facility in Thunder Bay, prior to assaying in North Vancouver, BC. Assays will be carried out on 30 gm samples with Fire Assay (FA) and AA finish (atomic absorbtion). Trace pathfinder elements will also be examined. The results of the drilling program will be released when available.
This news release was read and approved by R.S. Middleton P.Eng. who is acting as the QP for Giyani Gold under the NI43-101 regulations.
