Falcon Gold gets to work on its prospective Gaspard gold project in British Columbia

Falcon Gold Corp (TSX-V:FG, OTC:FGLDF) announced it has started field work on its Gaspard gold project in British Columbia. Located near Spences Bridge, the property includes three mineral claims covering 3,955 hectares in the Clinton Mining District of the province and close to several flagship gold projects in the region’s gold belt. Vancouver-based Falcon will be conducting prospecting, field reconnaissance mapping and sampling as part of its exploration program.

Historical work on the property revealed anomalous heavy mineral concentrate stream sediments that returned grades between 94 parts per billion (ppb) gold to 5,910 ppb gold, according to Falcon. A continuous gold anomaly was also defined over an upstream distance of 1.8 kilometres, Falcon added. Gaspard has year-round access with an all-season road and a good network of active logging roads, Falcon told shareholders. "We are excited to initiate boots on the ground sampling and mapping at the Gaspard Gold Project,” CEO Karim Rayani said in a statement. “The (Spences Bridge Gold Belt) is a highly prospective, underexplored gold belt that has proven to host high-grade gold and silver veins. Historical stream and soil sediment sampling has highlighted a large anomalous area that warrants follow-up. We look forward to receiving the results of this highly anticipated exploration program." Falcon's flagship project, the Central Canada Gold Mine, is approximately 20 kilometres south east of Agnico Eagle's Hammond Reef Gold Deposit. The company holds six additional projects.
