[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 1, 2020 /CNW/ - Sassy Resources Corporation (\"Sassy\" or the \"Company\") (CSE: SASY) is pleased to announce that vein sets recognized at surface at the Westmore gold target, including visible gold in quartz veins, have been intersected at depth in ongoing first-ever drilling at this newly-discovered gold-silver target. Westmore is part of the Company's 146 sq. km Foremore Project in Northwest B.C.'s prolific Eskay Camp. Over 800 chip, grab, and composite samples have been collected since July over a mapped exposed surface area of 400 meters x 400 meters with initial assay results (see table below) confirming high-grade gold values in samples where visible gold was observed and not observed. Highlights: The associated galena plus pyrite mineralization observed on surface at Westmore has been recognized in the quartz veins subsurface and to drill hole depths to 270 meters; Visible gold (\"VG\") has been noted in the first two drill holes completed to date; Mineralized alteration zones consisting of abundant quartz veins having a stockwork-like appearance occur over drill hole widths of multiple meters; The extent of the alteration halo consisting of increased silicification and pyrite mineralization associated with the quartz veining has been impressive and for the most part was not seen on surface; The first two drill holes were completed from the same platform and drilled toward the south at dips of -45 degrees and -60 degrees (core lengths were 211 meters and 304.5 meters, respectively) to test sample numbers COO12623 and COO12624 (see table below). Additional drilling is planned to test the unknown depth extent of the Westmore system. Mr. Mark Scott, Sassy President and CEO, commented: \"It is rare to have a grassroots target turn into an early-stage discovery like this after only a few months of field work followed by the first two drill holes, but this speaks to the energy and boldness of our team and the prolific nature of this district. We will push the drilling as far into the fall as possible as we have multiple high-quality targets to test thanks to extensive mapping and sampling.\" Surface Sampling Returns 157 g/t Au In Metallic Check Assay Assay results are now being received for sampled quartz veins occurring 100 meters to 300 meters south of the original surface discovery reported September 4,...
