11:11 AM EST - Marathon Gold Corporation : announced the results of drilling in the Sprite Zone, Valentine Lake Property. Drill holes VL-14-567 to VL-14-570 were designed to step out from mineralization intersected during previous winter 2014 drilling. Drill holes VL-14-571 to VL-14-577 were designed to target shallow quartz-tourmaline-pyrite (QTP) veining located directly beneath areas of anomalous channel intervals encountered in recent trenching. Best drill intervals included 2.80 g/t Au over nine metres true thickness (TT) in VL-14-567, 2.48 g/t Au over 5.1 metres (TT) in VL-14-569 and 1.53 g/t Au over 11.2 metres (TT) in VL-14-575. The information from this shallow drilling has identified areas for further drilling and also yielded additional information about the structural controls on gold mineralization in this area of the Sprite Zone.
