Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 18, 2024) - New Destiny Mining Corp. (TSXV: NED), (the "Company" or "NED") announces it has completed mobilizing crews and equipment and has started its 2024 drilling program at the Treasure Mountain project, near Princeton, BC.
The Treasure Mountain property is situated 38 km west of the Copper Mountain mine at Princeton in southern BC. and covers 10,819 hectares. Targets on the property include critical minerals in porphyry copper-moly deposits, and gold-quartz vein and polymetallic silver-rich vein deposits.
The 2024 drilling program has now started after a temporary exploration camp was constructed and crews and equipment were mobilized to site.
The drill program has started at the first target. The Railroad copper-silver mineralized zone was explored historically in several adits dating from at least 1937. In 2019, an average grade of 0.64% copper and 116.0 ppm silver was channel sampled over a 4.2 metre width in a trench. The drilling this year will drill test this zone down dip. The occurrence is interpreted to be genetically related to a concealed porphyry intrusion.
The next target planned is the Jim Kelly gold-quartz vein, which is exposed in a historic adit on the bank of Jim Kelly Creek. A 2018 grab sample returned a result of 11.3 grams per tonne gold. The vein will be explored for extensions by drilling, and trenching may be done depending on the thickness of overburden.
