EnGold discovers copper-rich skarn at Lac La Hache

VANCOUVER — EnGold Mines (TSXV: EGM) has mobilized another drill rig onto its Lac La Hache polymetallic property in central British Columbia, following the discovery of a new copper-gold-silver skarn zone in recent drilling. The company intercepted 26.6 metres of 1.76% copper, 0.27 g.t gold, 10.3 g/t silver and 35.8% iron at 337 metres depth, in a hole designed to test a poorly constrained, 1 km by 1.4 km wide gravity anomaly. … The hole was a diversion from the company’s current 6,200-metre drill program, which was intended to target the extensions of a gold-bearing structure at the project’s Aurizon South zone. EnGold president and CEO David Brett tells The Northern Miner during a phone interview that the gravity anomaly could reflect the presence of skarn mineralization similarly seen at the projects Spout deposit, 1.8 km northwest.
