[{"type":"text","content":"Banyan Drills 116.4 Metres Of 0.75 G/T Gold, Including Multiple High-Grade Intervals, At AurMac Property, YukonVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 17, 2020 / Banyan Gold Corp. (the \"Company\" or \"Banyan\") (TSX-V: BYN) is pleased to release, the first analytical results of diamond drilling from the 2020 exploration program at the Airstrip Zone, AurMac Property, Yukon.Highlights of the Airstrip Zone drill results to date include:0.63 g/t Au over 46.0 m from 88.1 m in MQ-20-660.75 g/t Au over 116.4 m from 20.2 m in MQ-20-710.52 g/t Au over 38.7 m from 37.5 m in MQ-20-750.75 g/t Au over 32.5 m from 32.5 m in MQ-20-760.82 g/t Au over 20.5 m from 84.5 m in MQ-20-770.64 g/t Au over 65.2 m from 5.8 m in MQ-20-78\"These results not only demonstrate the continuity of the AurMac gold deposit, but the long intervals will add meaningfully to the Resource. Grades of up to 19.50 g/t Au have been reported to date as well as multiple intercepts over 3.00 g/t Au\", stated Tara Christie, President and CEO, \"We continue to methodically execute the AurMac exploration program based on the application of our geological and resource models. We plan to drill late into the fall.\"The results received to date have demonstrated a continuity of gold grade within the projected mineralized zone of the Airstrip Deposit, on strike and down dip. Long intervals of Airstrip style grade (average ~ 0.5 g/t Au) have been intersected repeatedly within these undrilled portions of the deposit and will serve to add to the geological and resource models. Importantly, these holes have extended the strike length of the mineral zone by ~300m to the west and down dip within the conceptual pit limits used to constrain the 2020 Airstrip mineral resource estimation.High Grade Highlights from the Airstrip Zone include:8.33 g/t Au over 1.4 m in Hole MQ-20-663.22 g/t Au over 0.9 m in Hole MQ-20-7019.5 g/t Au over 0.7 m in Hole MQ-20-713.13 g/t Au over 1.6 m in Hole MQ-20-7119.4 g/t Au over 0.2 m in Hole MQ-20-713.94 g/t Au over 1.0 m in Hole MQ-20-717.93 g/t Au over 1.1 m in Hole MQ-20-713.07 g/t Au over 0.3 m in Hole MQ-20-744.35 g/t Au over 0.8 m in Hole MQ-20-754.16 g/t Au over 0.3 m in Hole MQ-20-758.64 /t Au over 1.5 m in Hole MQ-20-767.11 g/t Au over 1.0 m in Hole MQ-20-773.40 g/t Au over 1.5 m in Hole MQ-20-78The Airstrip Zone is an on and near-surface gold deposit open ...
