Silver Lake Resources (ASX: SLR) has gained Bank of Nova Scotia as a substantial shareholder with the financial institution earning a 6.1% undiluted stake in the company.
Bank of Nova Scotia acquired 12.6 million shares in the four months prior to 30 November for an average per share price of A$2.84, valuing the shareholding at around $35.7 million.
Silver Lake is in an interesting position, having intercepted high grade gold at the Mount Monger operations, which importantly includes some bonanza grade strikes outside of the current resource.
A diamond drilling campaign has been undertaken at the Haoma underground mine, with extensional drilling returning strong intercepts of:
- 1.1 metres at 93.3 grams per tonne (g/t) gold;
- 1 metre at 86g/t gold; and
- 3.4 metres at 18.9g/t gold.
The continued gold discoveries by Silver Lake during 2011 help support the company's goal of an annual 200,000 gold ounce production rate by 2014.
