SolGold has reported drilling results of 8.0m at 1.1g per tonne (g/t) gold and 7.0g/t silver from its wholly-owned Rannes gold-silver Project in Queensland, Australia. This included 2.0m at 6.75g/t gold and 27.3g/t silver. The firm has been drilling outside the previously reported resource block model and is targeting potential higher grade zones. The intersections are interpreted to be from two parallel lodes, which combine into the main central lode to the northwest.
