Detour Lake Exploration: Mine

Dec 22, 2013



The Detour Lake gold deposit offers significant potential to expand both the resource base and the mine life with future exploration. The current measured and indicated resources of 23.2 million ounces (678.8 Mt averaging 1.07 g/t) with an additional 5.7 million ounces in the inferred category (208.5 Mt averaging 0.86 g/t) are over a strike length of 4 kilometres (from section 16,500E to 20,600E) and the deposit remains open to the west and at depth. Open pit mining activities are underway and no exploration drilling is planned in the near term.

 
2011 Detour Gold Drilling Program
 
On March 20, 2012, Detour Gold reported the assay results for the last 75 holes totaling 45,485 metres (including 15 holes abandoned for 2,566 metres) from its 2011 drilling campaign at the Detour Lake gold project in northern Ontario. The 2011 drilling program totaled 86,644 metres and covered the western extension of the Detour Lake open pit deposit up to section 17,220E and the north wall of the open pit up to section 18,500E.
 
Approximately 30% of the holes being reported on March 20, 2012 (mainly holes DG-11-1185 to DG-11-1202) were excluded from the 2011 year-end global mineral resources, of which approximately 1,930 metres weren’t included in the open pit reserves of 15.6 million ounces (refer to press release dated January 25, 2012).
 
The gold mineralization is found along a known east-west, 200 to 300 metre wide corridor extending from the former pit to the west of the Calcite Zone (a distance of 3.3 kilometres). The mineralized corridor remains open to the west for several kilometres. Gold mineralization within the corridor typically consists of multiple, subvertical, five to 25 metre wide zones grading between 1.0 to 3.0 g/t gold. High gold values are generally characterized by clusters of visible gold in quartz veins and pillow selvages within potassically altered mafic flows that contain a higher percentage of sulphide minerals.
