In a Sept. 4 research note, Haywood analyst Mick Carew reported that GT Gold Corp.'s (GTT:TSX.V) recent drill results from the Saddle North discovery at its Tatogga project in British Columbia are "positive overall."
"The results complement earlier results from Saddle North and demonstrate continuity within both high-grade core and lower-grade, near-surface mineralization," he added.
Carew reviewed the new drill results, which are from the completed first phase, consisting of 10,000 meters (10,000m), of the Saddle North program.
Assay highlights included 1,206 meters (1,206m) grading 0.57 grams per ton (0.57 g/t) gold, 0.26% copper, 0.96 g/t silver from 18m downhole, including 51m grading 4.05 g/t gold, 0.3% copper and 3.06 g/t silver.
Mineralization extended downplunge and along strike. Specifically, hole TTD126 extended copper-gold mineralization at depth to about 1,400–1,500m downplunge. At that depth, the higher-grade core spans about 250–300m in width by about 250–300m in strike length.
Hole TTD125 suggested the potential for near-surface, open-pit mining as it showed lower-grade, near-surface copper-gold mineralization. It extended this shallow zone 200m to the northwest. Carew pointed out, however, that the bulk of the Saddle North deposit would likely require underground mining if an economic resource were defined, and such an approach can be capital intensive.
Carew noted the next steps for GT Gold and Saddle North. The company is now in the drill program's second phase, which will consist of a total of 15,000m of infill and expansion drilling along with drilling of peripheral targets around Saddle North.
Once phase two is completed, likely in October, GT Gold intends to pursue preparation of an initial resource estimate. Already management has started "to consult with external engineering groups and others to garner a better understanding of what is required for an initial resource estimate as well as the economic potential of the project," added the analyst.
GT Gold is trading today at around CA$0.98 per share.
