10:13 AM EST, 02/27/2020 (MT Newswires) -- MacDonald Mines Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V: BMK) was at last look up near 40% on Thursday after announcing a "strong start" to its 2020 definition drilling program in the North Pit area. According to a statement, Hole SM-20-026 intersected 59.2 g/t gold over 19.07 metres in the Bristol Structure, 18 metres north-east of the intersection of 52 g/t gold over 12 metres in SM-19-001. BMK added the on-going 2020 drilling program is well underway with 9 holes drilled so far, and results will be released as they are received.
Quentin Yarie, MacDonald's President and CEO, in the statement said: "The first hole of our 2020 drilling program confirms the presence of significant high-grade gold mineralization in the North Pit area of the Scadding Deposit. Holes SM-19-001 and SM-20-026 indicate continuity for a zone of exceptionally high-grade gold mineralization discovered in the North Pit area. This reinforces the potential for a near-surface high-grade gold resource in the North Pit area as our on-going 2020 drilling program continues to expand the footprint of gold mineralization."
