Earlier this month, Mountain Lake announced multiple intervals of high-grade gold in its latest batch of drill results from its Leprechaun deposit, part of the joint venture Valentine Lake property in Newfoundland.
Valentine Lake, including the Leprechaun deposit, is a 50/50 joint venture between Mountain Lake and Marathon Gold (TSE:MOZ), which is the operator of the project.
Highlights from the latest 2012 analytical results include 7.23 grams per tonnes (g/t) gold over 20.9 metres including 48.99 g/t gold over 1.9 metres in hole VL-12-403 and 9.19 g/t gold over 13.5 metres. This includes 34.92 g/t gold over 1.8 metres in hole VL-12-407.
On April 17, the company also reported the completion of an initial NI 43-101 resource estimate for the Lunch Pond area of its Glover Island gold property in Newfoundland.
Compared to historical resources, the company said the NI 43-101 resource for Lunch Pond indicates a 27.8 percent decrease in grade, offset by a 57.4 percent increase in tonnage, resulting in a 14.1 percent increase in contained gold ounces.
At a cut-off grade of 0.5 grams per tonne (g/t), Lunch Pond has an estimated 66,400 ounces indicated gold grading 1.61 g/t, contained in 1.28 million tonnes. In the inferred category, the target has 196,900 ounces of gold grading 1.38 g/t, contained in 4.43 million tonnes.
