Wesdome discovers new Falcon zone at Eagle River mine
Surface exploration drilling returned 73.5 grams gold over 1.3 metres starting from 209 metres downhole and 18.5 grams gold over 5.8 metres from 170 metres downhole.
The results from the early season program come just two weeks after Snowline released similarly strong results from the first two drill holes of this year’s program.
The Na-Cho Nyäk Dun Nation had called for a pause to all mining and an independent investigation after the landslide at the facility where cyanide is used to extract gold.
