[{"type":"text","content":"Aston Bay Drills 62.51 g/t Au over 1.39m and 35.61 g/t Au over 2.03m at its Buckingham Gold Property in Virginia, USATORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / June 5, 2019 / Aston Bay Holdings Ltd. (TSX-V: BAY; OTCQB: ATBHF) (\"Aston Bay\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the initial results of its recently completed drill program at the Buckingham Gold Project located in central Virginia, USA. Six large diameter (HQ) diamond drill holes totaling 878 metres (m) were completed with partial results received to date for four of these holes.Three of these four holes intersected significant near-surface gold mineralization, including 35.61 g/t Au over 2.03m in hole BUCK19-001, 20.44 g/t over 3.30m and 34.25g/t over 0.5m in hole BUCK19-003, and in hole BUCK19-004 24.73 g/t over 3.57m including 62.51 g/t over 1.39m. These results are presented in Table 1. Based upon multiple vein intersections, the estimated true width is 80% of the core interval. The assay results are based upon one kilogram pulp metallic screen analyses from HQ core for the mineralized intervals.Table1. 2019 Buckingham Project Drilling QuartzVein Intersection Summary.

That previous program consisted of three holes on the Buckingham Property, all of which intersected significant gold, including 15.57 g/t Au over 4.1m and 11.69 g/t Au over 3.1m. In addition to gold-bearing quartz veining, the previous drilling intersected a zone of sericite-pyrite alteration yielding 0.4 g/t Au over 24m (all historic intercepts are core intervals, i.e., not true width; see March 4, 2019 Aston Bay press release).The current drill program was designed to test along strike an...
