INTERGOLD CORPORATION (OTC BB-IGCO) FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Newport Beach, California March 2, 1999
INTERGOLD CORPORPORATION REPORTS 5-FOOT ASSAY RESULTS
On behalf of the Board of Directors, Intergold Corporation ("the Company") announces assay results with respect to their drilling program on the Blackhawk property 38 miles north of Twin Falls in the State of Idaho. The Company has previously reported average Gold and Silver assays of .090 and .190 ounces per ton ("OPT") respectively. These averages were based on 4,000 feet of vertically drilled HQ cores (eight holes) assayed at 50-foot intervals each to a depth of 500 feet.
The Company is currently assaying these cores on 5-foot intervals. The mineralization is hosted by a relatively thick sequence of olivine rhyolite lavas of Pliocene age. These lavas exhibit an unequilibrated mineral assemblage and abundant partially digested crustal material in the form of quartzite and granite xenoliths indicative of a hybrid magma that may have been generated by mixing of molten crustal and mantle-derived materials.
AuRIC Metallurgical Laboratories has completed 5-foot interval assays for core holes 98C-14, 98C-27, and 98C-25 with results provided in the table below:
5-FOOT ASSAYS - Average of Fire Assay Values
Drill Core Number Gold Silver (Tr. Oz./short ton) (Tr. Oz./short ton)
98C-14 (0' to 500') 0.055 0.257 98C-27 (0' to 500') 0.051 0.260 98C-25 (0' to 500') 0.195 0.089
Average Over 1,500 feet 0.100 0.202
Hole 98C-25 reports average gold content of .195 OPT over the 500-foot vertical drill hole. Hole 98C-25 also reported average assay values of .838 OPT over an 85' section of the core from 300' to 385' in depth with individual assay values as high as 2.822 OPT.
