- One step-out drillhole encountered nearly thirty metres with consistent gold mineralisation
- RC drilling campaign started in April; company picked up more acreage nearby in May
Felix Gold’s (ASX:FXG) share price has bucked the current sell-off trend in lunchtime trades as the share price rises over 13% on gold intercepts in Alaska.
Assay results returned for two step-out drill holes on-site provide evidence of a new zone of mineralisation some 200m away from the NW Array target at trasure Creek.
The new mineralised zone is open to the south, east and west.
The Treasure Creek project is located in the lauded Fairbanks Gold Mining District of Alaska, which the company notes as world-class.
A number of high-impact producing entities listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange are nearby Felix’s project envelope.

Drilling program ahead of schedule following April launch
At this time, Felix Gold is currently drilling at a pace of 146m a day, above the targeted rate of 100m a day.
The Treasure Creek drilling program commenced on April 25 2022, and since then, some 6,400m of RC drill cores are already pending assay return.
The Treasure Creek drilling program is scheduled to last five months; at this time, the company is less than halfway through.
Busy progress since listing on the ASX
Felix Gold is still a relatively fresh entrant to the Australian bourse, having listed back in February.
The company has not been spared from the Q2 2022 sell-off season driven by world inflation and interest rates, with YTD performance down 26%.
However, Felix has had no reason to slow down operations in the busy gold district.
Last month, the company added 6,200 acres to its total Alaskan landholdings, having acquired a new MHT tenure in between the Treasure Creek and NE Fairbanks project envelopes.
Five key historic prospects are located within the boundaries of the MHT Tenure which is nearby the Elliot Highway, a major sealed road through the Alaskan Northern Slope Oilfields.
