West Oak Gold Corp. Completes 2023 Work Program at Hedgehog

About this update from Eastfield Resources Ltd.

West Oak Gold Corp. Completes 2023 Work Program at Hedgehog (TheNewswire) Vancouver, BC - TheNewswire - November 22, 2023 - Eastfield Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:ETF) (OTC:ETFLF) is pleased to provide an update on 2023 exploration completed at the Hedgehog project located near Barkerville, B.C. by option partner West Oak Gold. The 2023 program was designed to expand on results from the 2022 program which had identified a strong arsenic soil anomaly with strong spot gold values on the southeastern portion of the property.  The 2023 program consisted of prospecting and rock sampling over an area of one square kilometer encompassing the bulk of the arsenic soil anomaly.  During prospecting a total of 37 rock samples were collected for analysis.  No significant gold or base metal values were returned.  Several rock samples with elevated barium +/- arsenic were present but the rock sample results do not explain the large arsenic soil anomaly, with further exploration required.

Very limonitic soil with anomalous arsenic (155ppm) and anomalous gold (45 ppb) was encountered under a blow down at one sample station. Three anomalous gold in soil samples occur at the south end of the grid south of the creek.  The 748 ppb location was visited and the soil hole located.  All of the material in the hole and nearby was rounded fine and coarse float.  The two 68 ppb Au samples both occur near creek and gullies.  It appears that these samples are situated in river gravels and are probably alluvial in origin. The Hedgehog Project, which is fully permitted, is located approximately 12 kilometres north of the community of Barkerville, BC.  Exploration models at Hedgehog include lode gold similar to the Cariboo Gold Project owned by Osisko Development Corp., and massive sulfides (“Cyprus Style”) similar to Chu Chua, BC.  Osisko’s Cariboo Gold Project is an advanced stage feasibility le...
