Triple Nine Ships all Four Corners Drill Core for Assaying
Triple Nine Resources Ltd. of Stephenville, NL reports that it has completed sampling of the 957.8 metres of NQ size drill core retrieved during the September drilling program on it’s vanadium – titanium, enriched magnetite mineralized Four Corners Project along the Burgeo Highway in southwestern Newfoundland.
The company advises that all 5 holes drilled to test a 400 metre section of the Keating Hill mineralized target intersected disseminated to massive magnetite mineralization, encountering mineralization from surface to the final depths of each hole. The 5 holes each tested between 180 and 232 metres of the down dip extension of the surface mineralization exposed in surface trenching completed earlier this summer with the deepest hole FCP-04-10 drilled at a dip of 85 ° testing down to a vertical depth of 220 metres. Holes FCP-03-10 to FCP-05-10 all finished in semi-massive to massive magnetite mineralization.
Triple Nine completed its planned drilling to stay within its budget and to achieve these drill intersections in its first phase of drilling is highly encouraging. Upon completion of the drill holes the drill casing penetrating the overburden was left in the hole to allow the company to continue deeper drilling at a later stage.
430 samples, most of which range between 2 and 4.5 metres in length have been shipped to Actlabs in Ancaster Ontario for Assaying. The results from the initial 2 sample shipments sent early in October and representing approximately 50% of the total samples should be available for release in early November to coincide with the Canadian Institute of Mining Meeting in St. John’s on November 4 & 5th, 2010.
