Odyssey Resources reported in a press release that diamond drilling has resumed at the Altintepe gold property in northeastern Turkey.  

 

Recent drilling in the area of Karakis ridge, intersected a new gold zone with hole ATD-10 having intersected gold values averaging 2.2 grams of gold per metric ton (g/t) over a 20 meter interval, between 35-55 meters. 

 

Within this interval a five meter zone of breccia averaged 4.94 g/t; the entire interval is oxidized. Drill road development near ADT-10 has recently exposed at least two breccia zones several meters thick each, within a wider, steeply dipping zone consisting of massive or brecciated iron oxide-rich silica and intensely clay-altered, silicified volcanic rocks. The entire package is at least 30 meters wide at this location. — (menareport.com)
