Otis Completes Drilling at Kilgore
14 December 2019 - 12:30AM
Otis Gold Corp. (“
Otis” or the
“
Company”) (
TSX-V:
OOO) (
OTC: OGLDF) is pleased to
announce the completion of drilling operations at its flagship
Kilgore Project, Clark County, Idaho. The program comprised 11
reverse-circulation (“RC”) holes totaling 8,415 feet (2,565 metres)
and was designed to step-off the current margins of the Kilgore
Deposit as defined by the 0.1 g/t gold grade shell (see Kilgore
2019 Drill Plan Map). All samples have been delivered to ALS
Geochemistry in Elko, Nevada and assay results will be released
when available.
The 2019 drill program was conducted by Alford
Drilling of Butte, Montana and Major Drilling of Salt Lake City,
Utah using Foremost 1500 and Schramm 450 reverse circulation drill
rigs respectively. Drilling was carried out using downhole hammers
with face sampling drill bits and continued with face sampling,
deep hole tricone bits when the hammer bits “watered-out”. All
holes were drilled without water injection.
All downhole surveys were conducted by
Intermountain Drilling Supply of Elko, Nevada using a downhole,
north seeking gyro survey tool. Final drill hole locations were
taken using hand-held GPS and will be resurveyed by sub-meter GPS
in the Spring. All holes were abandoned bottom-top and have been
located using cement-rebar monuments.
Alan Roberts, MSc, CPG, Vice President of
Exploration, serves as the Qualified Person for this news release
