ICG Silver & Gold (CSE:ICG) has intersected 24.3m of 10.14 grams per tonne gold (Au) at its Tuscarora District Project in Nevada, US.
The company released assay results from the first six of 12 reverse circulation drill holes completed as part of its 2026 phase one drill program at the project in Elko County.
Hole T26RC-04 at the Battle Mountain target intersected 24.3m of 10.14g/t Au and 3.4g/t silver (Ag) from 181.4m downhole, including 4.6m of 51.84g/t Au and 10.2g/t Ag, and 1.5m of 137g/t Au and 25.7g/t Ag.
A second hole, T26RC-05, intersected 15.2m of 0.73g/t Au and 2.2g/t Ag from 224m downhole, including 7.6m of 1.27g/t Au and 1.5m of 3.2g/t Au and 2.3g/t Ag.
All six holes between the Silica and Battle Mountain targets encountered gold and silver mineralisation.
“This is a significant result for ICG and an important validation of our approach at Tuscarora,” CEO Steven Sirbovan says.
“T26RC-04 intersected high-grade gold mineralisation over a substantial drilled interval, with grades increasing significantly within the broader zone.”
The drilling identified a new ‘high-grade’ gold zone at the Battle Mountain target. Meanwhile, work has also provided additional information on the broader, ‘lower-grade’ mineralised system surrounding it.
The company is “particularly pleased” with results from holes T26RC-04 through T26RC-06 as these three holes are within the newly staked, 100%-owned footprint of the Battle Mountain target.
ICG will incorporate results from the first six holes into its three-dimensional geological and structural models to refine targets for follow-up drilling. Results from six additional drill holes remain pending.
ICG Silver & Gold is a Canadian precious metals explorer focused on advancing the brownfield Tuscarora District Project in northern Nevada.
