Aurizon Mines has reported the latest results from its latest till sampling programme at its project in Canada's Quebec province.

Known as the Kipawa Gold-Uranium project, this sampling project was begun last autumn with the ultimate aim of finding and defining four gold dispersion trains and now the results of the 125 samples taken are in.

Some 34 of them have grades of 0.1 grams of gold per tonne or more with two outstanding samples returning 100 grams of gold per tonne and 8.6 grams of gold per tonne respectively.

Martin Demers, the principal exploration geologist at the firm, said that exploration results at Kipawa continue to exceed all expectations.

He added: "The gold exploration currently being performed by Aurizon is probably the first extensive field program in this area and the presence of fine native gold grains seen in till samples together with the associated high gold assays is very positive for the project."

Aurizon Mines is based in Canada and focuses on Quebec, and in particular the north-west area of it due to its prolific gold mining past.
