The state-of-the-art geophysical survey will cover the Lost Ace and POW zones, the two main gold (Au) mineralized zones at Justin, as well as the highly prospective area between them. Historic drilling at the POW zone has returned 1.25 g/t Au over 60.0 m (JN11-009) and 2.52 g/t Au and 29.5 g/t Ag over 12.0 m (JN11-010). Surface chip sampling at the Lost Ace zone returned high-grade gold values ranging from trace to 20.8 g/t Au over 4.4 m. Gold mineralization at the POW zone is hosted within and adjacent to the Justin Stock, a mid-Cretaceous intrusive body located at the southern end of the prolific Tombstone Gold Belt. Lost Ace is located 2 kilometers northwest of the POW zone along strike of the local NW-SE faults that have acted as conduits to the robust hydrothermal system.

About QMAGT
The QMAGT system is a helicopter-borne magnetic survey system that measures the magnetic field in a robust and detailed manner. The SQUID (superconducting quantum interference device) sensor measures the complete gradient tensor (second-order) of the earth’s magnetic field (otherwise known as full tensor magnetic gradiometry – FTMG). This FTMG measurement provides directional information about the magnetic field which is not available from total field sensors, which have been the industry standard for many years.
The SQUID sensors are developed by
The QMAGT system is deployed in a custom-built airfoil beneath a helicopter. This ‘bird’ effectively reduces motion noise, allowing for the recovery of high-quality data. As a lightweight system, QMAGT can be deployed in most operating environments.
QMAGT Benefits
Resolution and Detectability
- extremely low-noise FTMG measurements (<10pTRMS/m)
- provides benefits of vector surveys without disadvantage of extreme sensitivity to orientation
- higher spatial resolution (~ 2X) (Rasmussen & Pedersen, 1990)
Improved geologic modelling
- Reduces non-uniqueness of potential fields
- Better model results, accurate, detailed 3D models
