WPG Resources Ltd. announced further encouraging gold assays from the third fan of drill holes in its phase 2 drilling program in Challenger Deeps announced on 22 September, 26 October and 6 December 2017. These holes were designed to target the M2 lodes at the 70mRL, which are three levels, or 65m, below the lowest production level at Challenger. Some drill holes also intersected the M1 lode towards the end of the drill holes. Intercepts on the M1 and M2 lodes are: 17CUD2238: 0.83m (true width) @ 9.33g/t Au from 74.9m downhole on M2, 0.34m (true width) @ 22.52g/t from 106.45m downhole on M1 and 0.37m (true width) @ 8.78g/t from 111.80 downhole on M1. 17CUD2239: 0.78m (true width) @ 5.62/t Au from 40.0m and 1.8m @ 19.33g/t Au from 89.14m down hole both on M2 shoot. 17CUD2241: 0.75m (true width) @ 7.39g/t Au from 90.08m downhole and 0.93m (true width) @ 16.43g/t Au from 130.76m downhole on M1 17CUD2243: 0.62m (true width) @ 24.13g/t Au from 32.0m downhole, 2.08m (true width) @ 6.74g/t Au from 54.10m downhole and 0.27m (true width) @ 15.23g/t Au from 68.60m downhole all from M2. The intersections observed on the third fan to date are very similar to the results received on the top two fans for the Phase 2 deeps program released on 26 October and 6 December 2017 and are very similar to those in levels above the shear where multiple folds have been successfully mined at grades in excess of 5 g/t Au. These additional folds, outside of those assumed in mine planning, also have the potential to increase the ounces per vertical metre above those used for initial planning purposes.
