Doubleview Gold Corp. has announced significant assay results from its 2025 drilling program at the Hat Polymetallic Deposit in northwestern British Columbia.
The results from drill holes H090, H091, and H092 include some of the most substantial intervals of high-grade copper and gold mineralisation encountered at the Hat Project to date and expand the footprint of mineralisation well beyond the area considered in the maiden Mineral Resource Estimate that was previously reported.
The recent drilling focused on the core Lisle Zone, where drilling intercepted what is interpreted as a potential porphyry feeder zone. The intercepts demonstrate both shallow and deep mineralisation horizons and provide further evidence of the Hat Deposit’s robust mineralisation profile.
Double View’s President and CEO, Farshad Shirvani, said, “We are very pleased to present initial assay data from our 2025 field season. Included in the data are several startlingly important features of high-grade mineralisation and expanded dimensions. We look forward to their inclusion in an MRE and Preliminary Economic Assessment in progress. Meanwhile, we await with considerable interest the receipt of additional assay data.”
Shirvani said the organisation was also watching with “great interest” the steadily rising prices for the firm’s principal metals, copper, gold, silver and scandium, as the world markets react to “this period of uncertainty, a new era of fractured trade relationships, global warming, inflation, and tariffs and the renewed emphasis on strategic metals”.
The recently announced possible merger of Teck Corporation with Anglo-American illustrates the active consolidation within the mining industry as established members seek to increase and buffer their positions, according to Shirvani.
“We believe that Doubleview will play an important role in Canada’s mining industry as we expand our resource and plan for a bright future,” added Shirvani.
Hat Project drill cores are processed at Doubleview’s camp, where they are photographed, measured and logged by our technical staff and then divided using a diamond-bladed saw. One-half is placed in a stout bag to form the assay sample that is forwarded securely to the independent analytical lab.
The remaining half core is stored on site, where it is available for further examination and sampling. The assay cores are subject to a Chain of Custody routine as they are shipped from camp to a bonded carrier for delivery to the lab.
Core samples are analysed at the North Vancouver facility of ALS Canada Ltd. using their PREP-31, PGM-ICP24, ME-MS61, and ME-ICP06 packages. Each core sample is dried, then crushed to 70% passing a 2mm screen. All material is processed in an automatic Riffle splitter to yield a 250g homogenised, representative sample.
This sub-sample is then pulverised to 85% passing a 75-micron screen. All samples are analysed for Au, Pt, and Pd by 50g fire-assay fusion/ICP-ES finish, using the PGM-ICP24 package. A separate 0.25g pulp split is analysed by Four Acid digestion/ICP-MS finish, reporting 48 elements.
Over-limit elements are analysed by Ore Grade Four Acid digestion/ICP-ES finish using the ME-OG62 assay package. All of Doubleview’s core samples are analysed or assayed at independent ISO 17025 and ISO 9001- certified laboratories.
When initial assays are received and accepted by our staff, a certain fraction of the samples will be sent to a second ISO-certified lab for a check assay and verification purposes.
