NUNAVUT - Drilling at the Meliadine West gold project near Rankin Inlet continues to return high-grade core assays, according to COMAPLEX MINERALS of Calgary. The property is owned 22% by MELIADINE RESOURCES and 78% by Comaplex, which is the operator.
The 27,750-metre, 102-hole drill program for 2007 was completed on Meliadine West in August and assays from the first 59 holes have been received. Highlights include 10.6 g/t Au over 17.4 metres in hole M07-695, 15.9 g/t Au over 26.9 metres in hole 713, 15.9 g/t Au over 26.9 metres in hole 714A, and 23.1 g/t Au over 14.8 metres in hole 719. The highest assay reported was 24.5 g/t Au over 3.9 metres in hole 698.
Drill core from both infill and shallow holes at the Tiriganiaq deposit is returning good assays, too, according to Comaplex. Underground work on a decline into that deposit has advanced roughly 100 metres, and the first mineralized zone should be reached in January 2008.
