VANCOUVER, March 1, 2018 /CNW/ - Tres-Or Resources Ltd.
("Tres-Or" or the "Company") (TSX-V: TRS, OTCPK: TRSFF) is pleased
to announce 2018 exploration plans for a new 5,500 m drill program on its wholly owned
Fontana Gold Project. Fontana is the Company's
flagship project located 10 km northeast of Amos, and 65 km north of Val-d'Or, Quebec.
The Company commenced this program with 4 drill holes into the
intersection of the Hooper and Bunkhouse zones which confirmed
high-grade gold mineralization (e.g. 46.1 g/t Au over
0.5 m; 15.9 g/t Au over
1.0 m; and 10.1 g/t Au over
1.0 m; see NR December 8, 2017 for details). Currently,
the Company is integrating the vast amounts of historical data into
3D models to identify the highest priority zones to focus the
planned 2018 drill program (www.tres-or.com).
"Tres-Or plans to resume drilling the Fontana Gold Project with
a substantial drill program in 2018. Fontana is the heart of
the Amos gold district and recent
geologic compilation studies appear to point toward a promising
gold opportunity." said Laura Lee
Duffett, Tres-Or's President.
Based on the ongoing 3D modelling, Tres-Or plans a 5,500 m drill program focused on: 1) Zone
27; 2) Bunkhouse and Hooper Zones; 3) Fontana shaft zone and
4) the "Toughie" Zone (see Map 1 and NR February 21, 2018 for more details).
Drilling will start at Zone 27, where historical intersections
include: 6.53 g/t Au over 8.3
m; 58.40 g/t Au over 1.8
m; 114.0 g/t Au over 0.9
m and 0.43 g/t Au over 31.5
m (see www.tres-or.com for listing of composite
intervals from 32 drill holes 1945 to 2013).
Fontana was originally discovered in the 1930s, and has been the
subject of considerable historical work including drilling, bulk
samples and underground workings, which have led to identification
of multiple priority gold zones. Tres-Or is engaged in a program of
confirming and extending the historical mineralization. Drill
holes are being designed in relation to the ongoing 3D modelling,
as illustrated on the cross sections 1 and 2 below.
