Client Update – Evolving Gold
Posted by Peter Grandich at 9:17 PM on Sunday, January 17th, 2010
Here’s my latest assessment of Evolving Gold (EVG-TSX-V $1.05)
Finances
- The company is well financed with about C$17 million in the bank.
- Well positioned entering into the next year.
- Allows decisions to be driven by technical demands not limited by finances.
Rattlesnake Hills Discovery Property
- Focusing efforts on two areas, North Stock and Antelope Basin.
- Continue to define the North Stock body, higher grades now to at least 250 meters depth.
- Zone is still open along strike and to depth.
- Numerous holes in main zone still await assay.
- Late holes potentially in higher grade zones designed to fill gaps of knowledge for model.
- Assays for remaining 23 drill holes should be in by second week of February.
- Some holes for Antelope Basin not well positioned leaving target open for expansion.
Porphyry Target
- Mineralized dikes in RSC-027, 35.1m at 1.74, including 15.2m at 3.11.
- Broad stockwork mineralization may be halo above the mineralized porphyry.
- This is an exploration target and needs to be tested for size and mineral potential.
- The porphyry may be the driver for all the mineralization they have explored so far.
- Can’t know the importance of this target yet. It needs more testing.
Other Targets
- They’ve five other exploration targets with essentially no drilling.
Rattlesnake Hills going forward
- Updated technical report to address geometry, economics, metallurgy, mining.
- Permitting for drill program to start again, 3-4 core rigs, May 2010.
- Drill and define extensions of known mineralization.
- Test the porphyry target.
- Test the five other exploration targets.
Nevada Programs
- Very excited by results from drilling at Carlin.
- Five major properties, four under agreement with Newmont, one 100% owned by EVG.
- Expanding land position.
- Improving drilling efficiency and costs.
- Using geophysics to identify the more shallow targets.
- Focusing on neglected in and near the Carlin Trend, structural repeats, covered areas.
- Underground mining is the future of the Carlin Trend, nearly 1Moz per year production.
- Program driven by detailed knowledge of geology.
- Testing the future of the Carlin Trend.
I remain very positive and believe the 2010 drill program should tell the story.
