Exploration drilling at the Eastford Lake gold property in Ontario, Canada, has intercepted new gold mineralisation, the company carrying out the work has said.

Explor Resources said a total of six holes were completed to a combined depth of 3,071 metres as part of the fourth phase of its drilling campaign, returning "numerous" gold assays.

The 785-metre hole designated EG-08-05 included a number of gold intersections, with highlights including 1.62 g/t gold over 3.5 metres, 1.07 g/t gold over one metre and 0.31 g/t gold over three metres.

Additional intercepts were graded at 0.22 g/t gold over one metre and 0.16 g/t gold over one metre.

Explor said the "diverse" types of mineralisation encountered at Eastford Lake is reminiscent of the region's major gold camps, such as the Hollinger-McIntyre system and the Dome Mine in the Porcupine gold district.

Explor Resources is a Canadian exploration firm with properties in the provinces of Ontario, Quebec, Saskatchewan and New Brunswick.
