The two intercepts tested the Ted-Mint offset vein, which is in a faulted contact between the Ted and Mint veins to the north and south.
Based on the release, the 67.6-metre interval reported today is the widest vein interval reported from the property to date, and is made up of a semi-continuous quartz-carbonate vein. The Ted-Mint vein system remains open at depth and along strike.
There are 12 known mineralized quartz-carbonate epithermal veins at 3Ts, with a 2014 resource estimate for Tommy and Ted-Mint defining 5.5 million inferred tonnes, at 2.52 g/t gold and 71.5 g/t silver, for a total of 441,000 gold oz. and 12.5 million silver ounces.
The 3Ts project is 185 km southwest of Prince George and 20 km from Artemis Gold’s Blackwater gold project.
