This is a positive sign because we have discovered high-grade placers both at the surface and at a deeper levels in the quarry pit, which suggests that the Ditton placer gold channel could be a substantial deposit.\" Mr. Levasseur also stated, \"This development has increased our goal to assess the possibility of an economically viable placer gold deposit, as well as to look for signs that could lead to future discoveries of bedrock lode gold.\"Image: Samples SB-100, T-13-3, SB-101 and SB-102To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/6198/166267_bditton.jpg.Dredge Sampling ResultsThe industry reporting standard unit of quantity for placer gold is grams per cubic meter.TrenchDredged Vol. LitersGrains Au g/m3Fine - Non-Visible Au g/m3Grade SB-100280.4531.712.16 g/m3SB-101300.5960.04520.64 g/m3SB-102250.0560.630.69 g/m3T-13-3320.61-0.61 g/m3 Grades are indicative only. Due to grade variability of placer deposits, a larger volume of samples is necessary to obtain a better representation of the gold content. Samples collected using a Keene Dredge model 2004 attached to a ¼ screen, which could affect measured flowed volume.North American Placer MinesProjectsLocationYearAvg.
