[{"type":"text","content":"Banyan Drills 70.7 Metres of 1.06 G/T Au, Including 15.1 Meters of 3.05 G/T, At the Aurex-Mcquesten Gold Project, YukonCALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / October 24, 2018 / BANYAN GOLD CORP.(TSXV: BYN) (\"Banyan\" or \"The Company\"), is pleased to announce analytical results from the first four holes of the recently completed twelve-hole diamond drill campaign on the Aurex-McQuesten Property, Central Yukon.Assays from the first four of twelve diamond drill holes, all of which targeted the down dip extension of the McQuesten Gold Zone on the Aurex-McQuesten Property are presented in the summary table below. The McQuesten Gold Zone represents the surface expression of an approximately 90 metre thick calcareous package that transects the area and is interpreted to host to gold mineralization preferentially within retrograde skarn altered horizons.

The results from the first four drill holes from this program achieved this goal and have demonstrated the potential for a near-surface gold mineralized target with economic potential.\"Completion of 2018 Exploration Program – Aurex-McQuesten Gold ProjectThe 2018 drill program at Aurex-McQuesten consisted of twelve diamond drill holes totaling 1,414 metres of NTW sized core completed from 11 dri...
