Leagold Reports Initial Drilling Results for Bermejal Underground Program

Neil Woodyer, CEO stated “these drilling results show the consistency of mineralization along the contacts of the Bermejal intrusive and sill. Infill holes are tightening up the drill hole spacing and will enable an upgrade of the resource classification. These holes are also filling in gaps in the resource model which, when combined with the step-out holes, will increase the overall mineral resource. To date, 18 of the 20 holes drilled have intercepted high-grade mineralization – this high success rate also indicates the potential for both the consistency and expansion of the deposit. In addition to the drilling program, Leagold is also progressing with engineering studies in preparation for underground development. Work to date confirms that Bermejal is a valuable mine development project that will enhance production and extend mine life at Los Filos”.
