London- and Toronto-listed exploration and development company Solgold has begun scout drilling at the Blanca project, marking the establishment of advanced exploration in Ecuador’s newest copper/gold province.
In a drilling update on Friday, the company said that a man-portable drill machine had been on site since mid-September. The machine had completed two diamond drill holes for 800 m, testing the sub-horizontal veins, up to 0.4 m wide, containing up to 617 g/t gold.
