[{"type":"text","content":"EnGold Drilling Further Extends Aurizon South Gold Zone, Cuts 263 Grams Per Ton Gold (8.45 Ounces per Ton) Over 0.1 Metres* in Narrow Quartz VeinsVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 23, 2016 / David H. Brett, President & CEO, EnGold Mines Ltd., (TSX-V: EGM) (\"EnGold\" and the \"Company\") reports assay results from five drill holes with new intersections of high gold, silver and copper values within the Aurizon South Gold Structure, and new visible-gold-bearing quartz veins. The new quartz vein assays offer the highest grades ever encountered on the project. The Aurizon South is located within EnGold's 100% owned Lac La Hache Property located in BC's Cariboo region. \nHighlights of the new results include hole AZS16-59 with an intercept grading 14.25 gpt Au, 2.3 gpt Ag & 0.19% Cu over 1 metre, hole AZS16-57 with an intercept grading 7.96 gpt Au, 4.65 gpt Ag & 0.24% Cu over 2 metres, and the intersection of a narrow quartz vein in holes AZS16-56 & 57 grading respectively 263 gpt (8.45 opt), 90.5 gpt Ag & 1.74% Cu over 0.10 metres and 77.2 gpt (2.48 opt) Au, 31.5 gpt Ag & 0.63% Cu over 0.21 metres. *Note: Reported intervals are core lengths and not true width, as true widths in this section have not yet been determined.\n\"The Aurizon Gold Zone continues to demonstrate strong high grade gold potential,\" said EnGold CEO David Brett. \"The discovery of bonanza grade gold in quartz veins proximal to the main Aurizon structure adds a whole new dimension to our exploration strategy.\" \nThe fall 2016 program at Aurizon Zone South (10 holes, 3,000 m) is primarily designed to extend higher-grade mineralization within a portion of the gold-rich AZS structure, using 50 to 100+ metre step-outs from previous intersections. Nine of these holes have been completed to date. Assays have been received for eight drill holes, including 3 previously reported (DDHs AZS16-52, 16-53, 16-54; see NR Oct 26, 2016) and five drill holes reported in this release (Table 1). \nResults in holes 16-55, 56, 57 and 58 extend high gold-copper-silver grades more than 50 metres below previous drilling at the 170 metre level. Mineralization occurs within sulphide-rich (pyrite, chalcopyrite) hydrothermal breccia, and where dark grey silicification and/or quartz veining are developed. \n\n \n \n Table 1: Drill core assays, Aurion South Gold Z...
