Endurance Announces Winter Drill Program – Pardo JV, Ontario

About this update from Endurance Gold Corporation

[{"type":"text","content":"Endurance Announces Winter Drill Program – Pardo JV, Ontario(via Thenewswire.ca)\n \n \nVancouver, BC / TNW-ACCESSWIRE / Endurance Gold Corporation (EDG - TSX.V, \"Endurance\") announces approval of the Pardo Joint Venture Property (\"Pardo JV Property\") winter program for 2015. The Pardo JV Property is comprised of 16 claims located approximately 65 kilometres (\"km\") northeast of Sudbury, Ontario. Ginguro Exploration Inc. (\"Ginguro\") is the operator of the Pardo JV Property and holds a 64.5% ownership interest and Endurance owns a 35.5% ownership interest.\n\n \n \nThe Pardo JV Management Committee has approved a winter exploration program, which includes: i) diamond drilling, ii) a desktop mining study, iii) additional metallurgical test work, and iv) a detailed geological analysis of the gold hosting sedimentary units intersected in drill core.\n\n \n \nThe diamond drilling will primarily focus on the area encompassed by the relatively flat lying Godzilla and 007 Gold Zones, which were expanded through discovery this past field season. Winter drilling is scheduled to start later this winter and expected to be completed by the end of March.\n\n \n \nThe desktop mining study will be undertaken by WSP Canada with the purpose of completing a mining and infrastructure analysis. The study will include an environmental and permitting process review and a preliminary geologic interpretation on the Godzilla & 007 Zones. The desktop mining study will assist in advancing the Pardo JV project towards a bulk sampling and test mining decision.\n\n \n \nMetallurgical test work includes a whole-ore leach amenability test. If this test work is positive, the Pardo JV can evaluate the mining and gold recovery alternative of whole-ore leaching. If the whole-ore amenability testing is not favourable, future metallurgical test work will continue on optimizing the milling and standard gravity/leach gold recovery methods where initial test work has resulted in excellent recoveries.\n\n \n \nThe detailed geological analysis of the sedimentary units hosting the gold is known as a 'facies analysis' and is a standard methodology in modelling and interpreting paleo-placer gold resources. The outcome of this work will be incorporated into a 3-D geologic model for the Pardo JV property which will ensure confidence in any future re...
