Tempus (ASX:TMR) strike big at Elizabeth Gold

Tempus Resources has reported up to 28.1g/T over more than 28 metres at the Elizabeth Gold Project in Southern British Columbia.

The five drill-holes include multiple bonanza grade zones, including:

• 167.1g/t gold over 1.35m from 94.65m;
• 175.2g/t gold over 1.08m from 97.00m; and
• 35.2g/t gold over 3.65m from 104.35m, and
• 4.2g/t gold over 6.75m from 209.55m, including 35.6g/t gold over 1.31m from 209.55m

The No.9 Strike wide high grade zone remains open at 150m with open target areas to the south and south-west of the current drilling.

“Today we released the assay results for five drill-holes including No. 9 Vein drill-hole EZ-22-20, which was extraordinary, intersecting 28.1g/t gold over 28.5 metres, certainly one of the best intersections I have seen during a +30 year career.

“Hole 20 sets a new record in terms of combined grade and thickness for our Elizabeth Project.

“The bonanza and high-grade zones of both the No.9 Vein and the Blue Vein have now been extended to over 150 metres each in strike.

Structurally it is possible that the No. 9 and Blue Veins join together with the potential for additional gold mineralisation to cumulate in the area of the intersection and with further extensions along strike to the south-west.”
