Edgemont Gold Corp. announced that it has successfully completed a five hole Phase II drill program at the Dungate copper-gold porphyry project located 6 km southeast of the town of Houston, B.C. A total of 2,046 metres were drilled, following up on widespread copper and gold mineralization identified during Phase I drilling in 2021. The first hole of the program, DG22-08, was drilled to a vertical depth of just over 500 metres and tested a hidden intrusive identified by magnetic surveys under overburden to the north of the Quartz Feldspar Porphyry tested during Phase I drilling in 2021.

The target is a strong magnetic anomaly with a pronounced central u-shaped depleted magnetic signal. The hole intercepted approximately 350 m of quartz flooded and replaced volcanics with pyrite veinlets coincident with the depleted magnetic signature.
