Juggernaut Exploration (TSX-V:JUGR) has commenced a 10,000m inaugural drilling program at its Big One Gold Project in the Golden Triangle in British Columbia, Canada.
The fully funded program will deploy two drill rigs to test the largest veins within the 22km2 Eldorado zone, where surface samples have returned up to 263.7 grams per tonne gold equivalent (AuEq) and channel cuts assayed up to 4.89g/t AuEq over 5.21m.
The drilling targets three primary zones where visible gold has been identified in surface samples: the Whopper Zone, Big Mac Zone, and Gold Dome Zone.
At the Big Mac Vein, grab samples have assayed up to 113.92g/t AuEq, with a continuous channel cut yielding 4.89g/t AuEq over 5.21m.
The Whopper Vein has delivered grab samples up to 43.94g/t AuEq, with channel sampling returning 6.89g/t AuEq over 4m.
At the Gold Dome Zone, the XXXL Vein system has produced grab samples up to 139.21g/t AuEq, with channel cuts assaying 5.86g/t AuEq over 3m.
The company has identified more than 400 mineralised veins up to 10m wide hosted in shear zones up to 50m wide, exposed on surface for over 1km with more than 1km of vertical relief.
“Based on the geologic and structural information that we have to date, we expect to encounter additional unmapped new mineralized shear zones and veins at depth,” COO Manuele Lazzarotto says.
The Big One property sits near multiple significant deposits, including Galore Creek, KSM, Shaft Creek, Brucejack, and Trophy. The company holds a five-year drill permit valid until March 2031.
Juggernaut Exploration is a Canadian junior explorer focused on advancing its portfolio of gold and precious metal projects in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle.
