Not too long ago, seven major oil companies – commonly referred to as the Seven Sisters – controlled their market.

But that was then and this is now. Today, they’re scrambling to find new oil fields, while “smaller” companies rock the industry.

Hunt Gold Corp. announced that it has completed its 7th drill hole for its current drilling program at the “Mockingbird” Gold project in Arizona. The hole encountered a broad shear zone from 115 feet to 147 feet. The zone included multiple zones of hydrothermal alteration brecciation cemented with sulfide-clouded quartz.

The company is so encouraged with these results that it is altering the azimuth for the 8th and final hole for the current drill campaign. This hole will now have an azimuth of 180 degrees and will be aimed directly under the historic workings of the Dandy Gold Mine.
