2016

August 11, 2016 – The Premier property covers more than one hundred square kilometres near the town of Stewart in northwest BC, and includes the old Premier Mine, a past producer of 2.1 MOz Au and 44.9 MOz Ag.

Highlights of Release:

  • In its latest set of results from its 2016 drill program the Company announces hole P16-1047 in the Glory Hole area which intersected an uncut average of 69.40 g/t gold and 2,300.0 g/t silver over a core length of 1.34 meters within a broader interval grading 5.93 g/t Au and 175.0 g/t Ag over 20.50 meters. The Glory Hole area is the heaviest mined portion of the Premier system yet a large amount of higher grade material was left unmined as shown by these new results. Historic production data is incomplete but during 1922-1928 mining in the Glory Hole area produced 1.20 MT grading approximately 28.6 g/t Au and 600 g/t Ag.
  • With its recent $20 million financing Ascot has expanded its drill program to test a much larger portion of the Premier system. At present, four of the five Ascot rigs are testing the central Northern Lights portion of the system on 60 to100 meter centers. This area, which is approximately 900 meters north of the Glory Hole area, has seen relatively little exploration. Early results are encouraging and include 53.00 g/t Au over 1.00 meter in P16-1038 and 52.80 g/t Au over 1.30 meters in P16-1049.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control
Analytical work is being carried out by ALS Lab Group. Quality assurance and quality control programs include the use of analytical blanks and standards and duplicates in addition to the labs own internal quality assurance program. All samples were analyzed using multi-digestion with ICP finish and fire assay with AA finish for gold. Samples over 100 ppm silver were reanalyzed using four acid digestion with an ore grade AA finish. Samples over 1,500 ppm silver were fire assayed with a gravimetric finish. Samples with over 10 ppm gold were fire assayed with a gravimetric finish. Identified or suspected metallic gold or silver are subjected to “metallics” assays. Also for extreme high gold grades a concentrate analysis is performed with a fire assay and gravimetric finish accurate up to 999985 ppm Au limit (ALS Au-CON01) method. Sampling and storage are at the company’s secure facility in Stewart with bi-weekly sample shipments made to ALS Labs Terrace prep site.
