[{"type":"text","content":"Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Endurance Gold Corporation (EDG – TSX.V, “Endurance”) is pleased to announce that it has commenced its summer exploration program with the execution of a contract to complete a time-domain pole-dipole induced polarization (“IP”) with resistivity and proton magnetometer (“Magnetics”) ground geophysical survey. The geophysical crew is expected to mobilize to the Elephant Property before the end of June. Further soil and rock sampling, trenching and prospecting will also be completed on the Company’s Elephant, Trout and Wolverine Properties this summer and fall. Results from the ground geophysical program will be used to plan a drill program, which the company hopes to commence in the fall. The three properties that form the Elephant Mountain Project consolidate at least six (6) kilometre-scale gold targets associated with a Cretaceous aged intrusive complex and associated alteration that extends over a strike length of about twelve (12) kilometres (“km”). A map showing the location of the properties and targets is available at www.endurancegold.com. Five (5) of these km-scale gold targets are associated with gold in soil (greater than 100 parts per billion (“ppb”) gold with peak values up to 1,880 ppb gold) and rock grab samples up to 11.98 grams per tonne (“gpt”) gold. For a descriptive summary of the gold targets on the Trout and Wolverine Properties, please refer to the Company’s news release dated April 3, 2017. The Elephant Mountain Project area can be accessed by the all-weather Elliott Highway about 76 miles (123 km) northwest of Fairbanks within the Rampart-Eureka-Manley Hot Springs placer gold mining district near Eureka, Alaska. \"We are pleased to start exploration at the Elephant Mountain Project with the execution of a ground geophysical contract” commented Robert Boyd, President and CEO of Endurance. \"This survey will provide information required to efficiently plan the drilling on three of the six known targets. We are confident in planning step-out holes at the South Zone target but the IP will be critical to planning drill holes to test for higher-grade gold bearing feeder structures at the Central and North Zones. Furthermore, our other exploration activity will be focused on discovering additional km-scale intrusive related gold targets on the Elephant t...
