Renaissance Gold Inc. announced the commencement of drilling on its Ferguson Mountain Project, under an earn-in agreement with Hochschild Mining plc and its Fat Lizard Project, under an earn-in agreement with OceanaGold Corp. The initial drill program will test several targets associated with mapped mineralized structures and newly recognized structures interpreted from the CSAMT and their potential intersection with favorable stratigraphic horizons at depth. The Fat Lizard project, Nye County, Nevada is a low-sulfidation epithermal target with no historic drilling.Target generation work conducted by RenGold and OceanaGold consisted of geologic mapping, geochemical sampling and a gravity survey. Mapping and sampling has documented the presence of silicified ridges and hydrothermal breccias containing anomalous gold (up to 0.5 g/t) and trace elements (Sb, Te, As, Hg). In addition, observations of alteration and vein textures further support the interpretation of a high-level exposure of a low-sulfidation epithermal system with the potential to host high-grade veins associated with boiling horizons at depth. The current drilling program will test the deeper portions of the system with 1,240 meters in 3 core holes.
