Lake Shore Gold of Toronto has drilled new zones of high grade gold mineralization that it hopes will allow it to increase reserves at the Bell Creek mine near Timmins, ON. Drilling below the 925 level – where assays included 9.98 g/t over 10.3 metres, 5.60 g/t over 16.9 metres, 9.79 g/t over 9.6 metres, and 3.09 g/t over 23.3 metres including 6.81 g/t over 7.4 metres – is of particular interest in this respect. Grades and widths of zones close to active mining have been confirmed, as has high grade mineralization within untested gaps of the Labine deposit North A and NA2 zones from the 775 to 925 levels.
