Canadian-based exploration and development company Mistango River Resources has announced the start of a Phase 2 drilling program at its 100%-owned Kirkland West Gold Project, adjacent to Kirkland Lake Gold’s Macassa Mine in Ontario.

The Phase 2 program in the Baldwin Zone will include 5,000 metres of drilling and is designed to test exploration targets hosted by retained to provide permanent services to the mine. The company is currently processing approximately 4,000 tonnes of ore a day and blasting ore in mining areas four times a week, ramping up towards name plate capacity of 6,000 tonnes of ore a day. The company has also completed a further 6,000 meters of grade control

geological and structural environments that are determined to be highly prospective, based on comparison with gold deposits in the adjacent Kirkland Lake mining camp. New interpretations of geological and structural environments and exploration drill targeting in the Baldwin Zone are informed by the results of new 3-D inversion models of aeromagnetic and gravity data that are constrained by available geological data. Mistango is confident that the application of constrained modelling of geophysical data is the best approach to exploration drill targeting at the scale of the project area and will allow the company’s exploration program to advance most efficiently towards discovery at the Kirkland West Gold project.
