The Jackpot zone, discovered in June last year, is now known to extend to 205 metres below surface and have a strike length of 185 metres. Within the zone, there is a high-grade portion defined over 75 metres strike with mineralization starting at surface and extending to a depth of 100 metres. The above assays come from material in that high-grade portion.
The Jackpot zone is part of New Found’s wholly owned Queensway gold project 15 km west of Gander, Nfld. The company is currently working on a 500,000-metre drill program.
