Avidian Gold Corp. reported the results from its 2017 drilling program at the 100% owned Golden Zone project, Alaska. 2017 drill intersections in and within the immediate vicinity of the Breccia Pipe Deposit include: 67 m of 4.93 g/t Au (sulphide breccia); 70.6 m of 2.03 g/t Au (silica breccia); 28 m of 2.19 g/t Au (sulphide breccia); 50 m of 0.73 g/t Au (host monzodiorite intrusive); 64 m of 0.65 g/t Au (BLT shear zone). The latter two intersections occur outside the presently defined mineral resource. 2017 drilling discovered a previously unknown mineralized conglomeratic unit in hole GZ17-10 approximately 300 m northeast of the Breccia Pipe Deposit; this unit returned 21.6 m of 1.46 g/t Au, is open in all directions and represents a new mineralized stratigraphic target. A 2017 drill hole at the Riverside occurrence returned multiple intercepts of > 1 g/t Au along with 3.4 m of 4.23 g/t Au (including 1.0 m of 12.2 g/t Au) associated with a quartz feldspar porphyry that can be traced over 1 km in length that has not been drill tested.
