Vancouver BC, February 9, 2021 – MAS Gold Corp. (“MAS” – TSX-V:MAS) is pleased to announce that the 2021 Greywacke Lake drilling program commenced on schedule, with the first core drill hole collaring on January 28th and a second drill beginning February 5th. Drilling is currently focused on infill and step outs holes at the known Greywacke North deposit. To date MAS has completed five drill holes, with the first core samples in transport to TSL Labs Inc. in Saskatoon for assaying.
Mr. David Tupper, Vice President of Exploration for MAS states “Drilling is progressing very well and we are pleased with the rapid execution exhibited by our principal project contractor Axiom Exploration and drill contractor ITL Diamond Drilling Ltd.” Mr. Tupper continues “We are excited with what we are seeing so far and are expecting initial results back from the assay lab in early March.”
Site preparations are continuing on the Greywacke Lake property to allow moving the second drill to begin drilling by week’s end at the Lyons Zone, roughly 600 metres along strike to the southwest from the Greywacke North deposit area. In addition, site preparations have begun at the Preview North Property in anticipation of planned drill programs later in March at the North Lake deposit and Point deposit areas.
