Gold X2 Mining Inc (TSXV: AUXX) shares rose 5% to $1.76, on volume of more than 1.5 million shares, Tuesday after the gold project developer reported initial drill results from two drill holes targeting high grade mineralization at depth in the QES Zone at the Moss Gold Project in northwest Ontario, which included 117.0 metres (m) of 1.21 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 10.0m of 4.37 g/t gold.
The company believes that near surface intercept in the Superion Zone demonstrates the potential to add to near surface resources.
