Gatling Exploration unveils additional gold mineralization at Larder project

Gatling Exploration Inc (CVE:GTR) (OTCQB:GATGF) has announced additional gold mineralization with continuity from surface at the Fernland deposit at its Larder gold project in Northern Ontario.  

The company said the results included 114.3 meters (m) of 0.8 gram per ton (g/t) of gold, starting at just 3.7m below surface in hole GTR-21-097, in Zone 3 of the Fernland deposit.

The drill hole is also located 650m East of Zone 1 and 300m East of Zone 2, where recent drilling intersected 170m of 1.5 g/t gold and 101.3m of 1.1 g/t gold within 30m of surface.

Gatling said the results confirm the presence of widespread near-surface mineralization over an increasing area at Fernland, which it said remained the most under-explored of the three gold deposits at Larder. 

The company added that with nearly 60,000m of drilling to be included in Fernland’s upcoming initial resource estimate - to be released in the second half of 2021 - it is “highly encouraged by the continued success of the current drill program”.

“Fernland continues to deliver robust drill results over long intersections thus far in the program, which is consistent with our company’s objective to develop the untapped open pit potential at Larder.  We expect to release follow-up results at Zones 2 and 3 in the coming weeks at Fernland before shifting focus to the Bear deposit later next month,” Gatling president and chief executive Jason Billan said in a statement.
