Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 6, 2018) - Advance Gold Corp. (TSXV: AAX) ("Advance Gold" or "the Company") is pleased to provide an update on exploration plans for its Tabasquena project near Ojocaliente, Mexico. Based on the phase 2 drilling program, and historical work completed by the geological survey of Mexico, a dual track drilling program is being planned.
The recently completed drilling in phase 2, has identified a series of epithermal veins (more than 30), which have only been drilled above the boiling point and remain open at depth and along strike. Approximately 1000 metres to the northeast, the SG3 target area, is a structural intersection mapped and sampled by the geological survey of Mexico which is a feeder system type target.
Allan Barry Laboucan, President and CEO of Advance Gold Corp. commented: "Now that we have established that there is a large cluster of epithermal veins at Tabasquena, we are also eager to explore for feeder system type targets. Our plan to drill deeper into the vein system to look for the boiling point in our epithermal veins, combined with stepping out into other areas of the property gives us a good chance to open things up.
"Past work by the geological survey of Mexico, at the SG3 target area, has mapped a key structural intersection to the northeast of the vein system and a coincident gold anomaly.
"The more work we do on the property, the more it becomes clear that we are looking at a large epithermal vein system, and other compelling targets on the project. We are looking forward to more drilling to test these targets in our phase 3 drilling."
