Leviathan Gold Ltd. announced the completion of preliminary drilling works at Vales Reef ("Vales"), within the Company's Avoca property. This initial phase of work, which comprised 1,999 meters of diamond drilling across 11 holes, was designed to target strike and depth projections of mineralizing structures observed by Leviathan's geological team during mapping of surface mine workings. At least five such structures are noted over a strike extent of approximately 450 meters, within a lateral corridor of up to 110 meters in width. Visible gold was recorded in drill core in twenty-two instances. Partial results for Vales have now been received, highlights of which include intervals of 1.06 meters at 25.5 g/t Au in hole 21VAR008, 0.95 meters at 18.2 g/t Au in hole 21VAR008, 0.75 meters at 18.5 g/t Au in hole 21VAR004, and 0.34 meters at 9.56 g/t Au in hole 21VAR007. Extensive, sheared quartz veining was observed in drill core in all projected structures, which signifies the presence of a structurally-controlled mineralizing system at Vales, and supports the structural understanding of Leviathan's geological team. Interpretation is ongoing; further drill results are pending and will be reported in due course. Similar such interpretation is being carried out at a number of other targets within both the Avoca and Timor properties with further drilling expected to commence imminently. Leviathan is also reported the completion of a high-resolution LIDAR survey of its entire Victorian landholding. LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a low-cost airborne tool for collecting accurate, high density topographic data, its application in the context of Leviathan's Victorian programs being the rapid identification of abandoned mine workings and potential mineralizing lineaments - and ultimately the definition of further drill targets. Initial processing and interpretation of data covering approximately 20% of the total survey area has led to the identification of at least 23 kilometers of potentially mineralized structural lineaments and historic mine workings. Further results of Leviathan's LIDAR survey will be reported in due course.
