Ardiden Drills Pickle Lake Upside Confirmation

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Ardiden Limited (ASX: ADV) informed the market on initial gold assay results from the company’s Pickle Lake gold project in Canada.

Ardiden reported the first three holes to be assayed of its current 7000m Western Hub drill program at Pickle Lake demonstrated visual gold and massive sulphide intervals and included assay results of:

Esker Prospect

WP22-03
148 grams per tonne gold and 57g/t silver (70.29-70.59m)

Tonsil Prospect

DD22-04
33.6g/t gold (117.5-117.8m); and

DD22-03
9.45g/t gold (107.5-108.2m).

Ardiden claims to have noted visual gold, sulphides and alteration in initial drilling at four gold prospects (Esker, Tonsil, Dobie and Dorothy) with 29 holes and 4,000m of the 7,000m program completed to date.

“We are extremely pleased to report these high-grade gold results from the first three holes assayed of the 7,000 metres program along the Western Hub,” Ardiden managing director and CEO Rob Longley said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“We will have results from another 26 completed holes to report progressively, and at least another 3,000 metres of drilling to go in this program.

“This confirms our targeting strategy along the Golden Patricia trend and supports our broader vision for what we anticipate at Pickle Lake as we better understand the controls of gold mineralisation and opportunities to make significant discoveries.”

Ardiden also reported receipt of two additional exploration permits from the Ontario Mines Department (MDMNRF) to work on the Meen-Cooper area, northwest of Dorothy, and the East Patricia area, east of Esker.

Ardiden now has a fully permitted 60 kilometres strike length of highly prospective brownfields gold opportunities along the Western Hub across its plus-100km-wide gold project.
