Riva Gold Corporation announced Friday, last, that to date, results from its mapping, trenching and diamond drill programme on its Honey Camp Property located in Guyana were encouraging.
“Three historical vein systems, the Rainbow, Alma and Camp veins, located within a 2.4 kilometres by 0.9 kilometre area on the Honey Camp Property were tested by mapping and trenching followed by 16 diamond drill holes totaling 2,886 metres (of which two holes were abandoned due to poor ground conditions).
Two additional historical vein systems within the Area, the Brian and Brenda and Sobers Hills veins, were examined by mapping and trenching.
The five historic vein systems are all hosted in sheared, quartz-carbonate alteration zones, cross-cutting lavas, tuffs and sediments,” the release on Friday said.
“We are encouraged by the surface results that we have received from the historical vein systems we have been focusing on,” commented Richard Warke, Riva’s chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
“However, more work needs to be completed on the Honey Camp Property to help us more fully understand the geological structure of the area and is an important step in order to determine our focus going forward,” he said.
Riva is a Canadian mineral exploration company focusing on opportunities in Guyana and controls a total of 125,799 acres of land which includes the newly acquired and prospective Nine Mile and Honey Camp Properties.
