Solitario reports low-grade gold hits in first three Golden Crest drill holes, no feeder zone cut
XPL•One hole intersects Precambrian rocks
PD-007 cut 1.3 meters grading 1.37 g/t gold in Precambrian rocks, missing a high-grade feeder structure.
Early assay results from Ponderosa drilling
Solitario reported early assay results from three core holes at the Ponderosa area of its Golden Crest gold project in South Dakota.
Holes PD-001, PD-002 and PD-007 returned low-grade mineralization of 0.02 to 0.40 g/t across multiple limestone intervals.
Next drilling update expected later this year
Phase-one drilling totaled 10 holes for 2,949 meters; assays for the remaining seven holes are expected in late September or October.
Drone magnetics outlined a 5 km by 1.5 km magnetic high, opening a new western-margin target interpreted as Homestake-style host rocks.
