The company stated that Zone 2 has a surface gold anomaly covering approximately 14.6 square km, which is some 36 times larger than the gold anomaly at Million Mountain Zone 1 which measures approximately 0.4 square km in area. Million Mountain Zone 1 hosts an NI 43-101 compliant interim gold resource of 451,397 tr oz Au (388,456 tr oz Au Measured grading 1.0 g/t Au and 69,941 tr oz Au Indicated grading 0.9 g/t Au).
In addition to the expansive size of the Zone 2 target, empirical evidence suggests the potential for robust gold and copper mineralisation in the zone. Anomalous copper and gold values were encountered in a shallow drilling programme sponsored by the United Nations in the 1960s on the area now comprising Zone 2.
Additionally, Sacre-Coeur said that the scope of Phase 1 prospect drilling on Zone 2 will include up to 5,000 metres of NQ core and the Phase 1 drilling is expected to continue through summer 2009. All samples returning a value of 1.0 g/t Au or greater for the -200 mesh pulp will also have the +200 mesh screened fraction analysed for coarse metallics.
