Commencing in September, 2020 a program of mechanized stripping and channel sampling was conducted at surface to test an area of multiple quartz-carbonate veins within a system of shear zones on the east side of the Caswell prospect. Initial orientation of the more intensive work was obtained with the collection of 21 grab samples of quartz vein material which were assayed for gold. Of the 21 samples collected 8 graded above 0.1 g Au/t, 5 assayed more than 2 g Au/t and 3 assayed greater than 5 g Au/t with a highest assay of 5.43 g Au/t. This was consistent with results of other previous sampling campaigns where it has been found that a consistently high portion of quartz vein material is well mineralized with gold. For example, four samples for 18% of the samples assayed returned more than 4 g Au/t.
In addition, a newly discovered vein near the
Results from the geochemical sampling of the first batch of gold in till sampling are expected circum month end January as are the gold particle counts from the second batch of samples. The final batch of 41 till samples for this season has just been submitted for analysis this week. Results of the channel sampling program are to be reported in context with the geochemical analyses currently in process expected to be returned within days.
2021
The work on synthesis of data from a number of airborne and ground magnetic surveys is underway and should be completed by end of January. LIDAR work over the entire property to be conducted in the Spring will be commissioned shortly.
An IP inversion study on the Herrick deposit has been initiated with a deep anomaly being detected. In addition to outlining the Herrick deposit over a 400m strike length, previous drilling encountered intermittent gold mineralization in several holes for intervals exceeding 100 metres. For example, drill hole HP10-44 intersected intermittent gold mineralization over an interval of 142.4m but also continuous mineralization of 46.3m grading 0.65 g/t Au.
A program of linecutting and IP is being designed and will be implemented within COVID-19 safety guidelines for the province of
Geochemistry Overview
Through geochemical analyses of fines in the till samples
The property as a whole covers a 21 km length of the Ridout-Tyrrell deformation zone ('RTDZ') which is largely unexplored and less accessible than the old Shining Tree mining camp. This area has potential to host a Tier one gold deposit.
The longer term and high priority RTDZ area will be explored using progressively applied gold in till work, linecutting and IP over the priority gold in till targets then channel sampling and/or drilling. High definition magnetic data and LIDAR will aide this process to move ahead swiftly. Recent staking and merging of boundary cells has increased the size of
