They returned:
  • 46 g/t gold over 4.5 metres, 0.72 g/t over 9.0 metres and 0.44 g/t over 3.0 metres in hole DO-17-169; and
  • 19 g/t gold over 3.0 metres, 0.635 g/t over 7.5 metres, 0.55 g/t over 4.5 metres, 0.77 g/t over 1.5 metres and 0.65 g/t over 1.5 metres in hole DO-17-173.
Aurvista president and CEO Jan Lafleur was encouraged by the drill results. Significant numbers of  holes have returned quantifiable mineralization outside the pit constrained resource shells. Assays from 25 more drill holes are pending. Gold was discovered at Douay in 1976 and the property explored sporadically until Aurvista Gold acquired its 100% interest in 2011.  See the corporate presentation at www.AurvistaGold.com/en/pdfs/AVA-Corporate-Slide-Deck-Web-Version-Spring-April-2017.pdf for details.
