Eclipse Gold Mining Corporation reports it will commence the next phase of drilling at its Hercules Gold Project in Nevada's Walker Lane trend. The Company has secured a drill rig and begun mobilization for its Phase Two drill program. Drilling will commence next week and is planned to include up to 18 reverse circulation holes, totalling approximately 6,750 metres. Drilling will test: Potential extensions of known gold mineralization to the east of Cliffs; The newly defined Hercules Structural Zone that runs north-south through the Northeast and Hercules targets; Geophysical targets generated by the Company's recent IP geophysical program between the Cliffs and Hercules targets. Eclipse is the first to aggregate data and look at Hercules through a district-scale lens using a systematic, science-focused approach. The Company has created an 85-square-kilometres, district- scale land package, through claim-staking and ownership consolidation, that is known to host a low-sulphidation epithermal gold-silver system of undefined size. Recent drilling has highlighted the strength and continuity of the mineralized system at Hercules, intersecting broad intervals of near-surface oxide gold-silver mineralization in all target areas tested to date, some greater than 50 metres. Results from a recent ground IP survey identified a new "Hercules Structural Zone," a potential feeder structure, that extends more than 2,000 metres along strike, and remains open for expansion. Of note, Phase One drilling has shown an apparent increase in thickness and grade of mineralization of the low sulphidation epithermal gold-silver system to the south, indicating the property-wide system could be larger than previously imagined.
