Derek White, President and CEO of Ascot commented, 

“With seven assays grading over an ounce per tonne gold in just these twelve holes, we are pleased with the high-grade tenor of the drill results, and better than expected sizes and grades in the Prew Zone.

 

“Development work recently commenced on the Premier portal and decline which will access the Prew Zone anticipated in early 2024 prior to mill start-up and initial gold production.

 

“Intercepting more high-grade gold in existing stope shapes and finding extensions and new lenses of mineralization is encouraging, especially for an area so near term in the mine plan.

 

“The Prew Zone of the Premier deposit will be Ascot’s second mining area and will help compliment the existing mining at the Big Missouri deposit, which was initially developed last year.”
