StrikePoint Gold (TSX-V:SKP) has reported the final assays from its spring drilling program at the Hercules Gold Project in Nevada, US, including a 67.06m gold–silver intersection.
Hole H26005 at the SW Cliffs area returned 67.06m @ 0.53 grams per tonne gold (Au) and 11.69g/t silver (Ag), including 7.62m @ 2.93g/t Au and 54.48g/t Ag.
The hole also intersected 4.57m @ 0.16g/t Au and 0.9g/t Ag, 7.62m @ 0.18g/t Au and 2.24g/t Ag, and 32.01m @ 0.2g/t Au and 2.43g/t Ag.
StrikePoint says H26005 correlates with previously reported holes H26004, H26012, and H26014, potentially outlining a broad mineralised zone in the southwestern part of the Cliffs target. Further drilling is required to establish its continuity and extent.
Reported intervals are sample lengths, with insufficient data available to estimate true thickness.
Other results from the final batch of assays include 7.62m @ 1.28g/t Au and 2.02g/t Ag at North Hercules, 1.52m @ 3.74g/t Au at East Loaves, and 38.1m @ 0.32g/t Au and 1.09g/t Ag at Hercules.
CEO Michael Allen says H26005 supports the company’s interpretation of continuity at SW Cliffs.
“This material was logged as predominately oxide mineralisation, which complements our vision for the Hercules Gold Project as a potential future heap leach operation. This is the final batch of holes from our Spring 2026 drill program, where we had notable successes, notably on the Cliffs Target, where this program’s drilling returned 114.3m grading 0.63 g/t Au with 5.03 g/t Ag,” Allen says.
However, the potential suitability of the mineralisation for heap leaching has not been confirmed through metallurgical testing or an economic study.
The spring campaign comprised 29 holes testing several shallow oxide gold targets across Hercules. Previous results from the program included 114.3m @ 0.63g/t Au and 5.03g/t Ag at Cliffs.
StrikePoint says the Cliffs target remains open for further expansion.
