Drilling targeting was aided by 2011 geophysical surveys results. Higher grades within the NE-zone in hole 12-56 are associated with a chargeability high feature that suggests the mineralization continues at depth. Preliminary results of the 2012 geophysical survey are currently being interpreted.
"The Company is extremely pleased with these results and how they support our exploration model for identifying bulk minable gold targets at the Shotgun project. As reported previously, the geology logged in the drilling correlated well with previous work and looked very encouraging. The assays in the first hole have started to confirm this" comments John Harrop, VP Exploration.
About the Shotgun Gold ProjectTNR holds a 100% interest in the Shotgun property located 175 kilometres south of Donlin Creek within the Kuskokwim Gold Belt in southwestern Alaska. This area is emerging as a world-class gold district hosting more than 40 million ounces of aggregated gold resources. The Shotgun property includes a number of prospects, including Shotgun Ridge and nearby Winchester. Donlin is an intrusion-associated system and represents one of the largest undeveloped gold deposits in the world. The Company believes that there are several key similarities between prospects on the Shotgun property and that of the Donlin Creek gold deposit as well as other important intrusion-associated deposits.
