Independence Gold Corp. announced the commencement of a summer exploration program at its 100% owned 3Ts Project ("3Ts" or the "Project"), located approximately 185 kilometres ("km") southwest of Prince George, British Columbia and situated 16 km southwest of Artemis Gold Inc.'s Blackwater Project. Exploration work will focus on expanding the potential of the 3Ts Project following a successful winter drill program that resulted in the discovery of the Ian and Johnny Veins as well as the extension of the Tommy Vein System. The summer exploration program will comprise of trenching, geological mapping and prospecting, which will be followed by a drill program. Mechanical trenching will be utilized to define the vein orientation of the new vein systems as well as to refine other drill targets, while prospecting and geological mapping will be undertaken over the eastern side of the Project area.
Historic exploration programs discovered anomalous surface quartz veins samples to the east of the known vein systems but have yet to be followed up by detailed exploration. The underexplored area extends for 3km to the east of the Ted-Mint Vein System and includes high-grade samples of up to 89.8
g/t gold and 592 g/t silver. he 3Ts Project is comprised of fifteen mineral claims covering approximately 5,200 hectares in he Nechako Plateau region of central British Columbia. The 3Ts Project covers a low sulphidation pithermal quartz-carbonate vein district within which more than a dozen individual mineralized veins, anging from 50 m to more than 1,075 m and true widths up to 20 m, have been identified.
