Au Gold Corp. to announced assay results from a trench sampling program completed at the Ponderosa gold project in British Columbia ("Ponderosa"). The program focused on the Tomahawk Zone, the highest priority of four target areas on the property. The results support the exploration thesis that Tomahawk represents the intact upper portion of an epithermal gold system and should be prioritized for future diamond drilling. Tomahawk Sampling Highlights; Trench TR-DP-04 returns 1.04 g/t gold across 5.25 m including 3.99 g/t gold and 14.9 g/t silver across 1.00 m; Variably altered volcanic host rocks yield up to 0.61 g/t gold across 1.25 m; Anomalous gold response from all trenches sampled; and Textures supportive of high-level position in the epithermal system.
