Greenheart Gold (TSX-V:GHRT) has intersected 7m at 5.82 grams per tonne gold (Au) during maiden diamond drilling at its Igab Project in Suriname.
The result from hole IGBD26-007 was recorded at the Koela target. Other Koela intersections include 8m @ 2.16g/t Au in IGBD26-003, 4m @ 4.68g/t Au in IGBD26-011, and 2.4m @ 6.42g/t Au in IGBD26-005.
Greenheart completed 17 holes across three target areas, comprising 12 at Koela, two at Lemon Tree, and three beneath historical artisanal workings at Desiberg.
The company interprets mineralisation at Koela as occurring along northwest–southeast-trending high-strain zones within folded volcanic, volcaniclastic, and siliciclastic rocks. Gold-bearing intervals are commonly associated with fine-grained pyrite, with local arsenopyrite and pyrrhotite.
Greenheart says it is reviewing the drilling and trenching results alongside structural mapping and core relogging to refine future targets and drill orientation.
Continuing trenching returned 22m @ 2.13g/t Au from the Cannibal Creek target, including 15m @ 3.01g/t Au. Koela East trenching also intersected 3m @ 11.59g/t Au.
The company says it plans to begin drilling selected Cannibal Creek targets in the coming weeks. Follow-up drilling at Koela East will test continuity around the existing intersections, while work at Koela West will target extensions northwest and southeast of IGBD26-007.
At Greenheart’s separate Majorodam Project in Suriname, the company has completed 160 reverse circulation holes totalling 11,748m. About 35% of the assays remain outstanding due to laboratory delays in Paramaribo.
The company notes it will review the Majorodam program and plan further exploration after receiving the remaining results. Reported intersections represent sampled lengths, with true widths yet to be determined.
