In addition to the sampling, geologic mapping revealed an area of highly complex structure to the east of historic drill hole AC-4, characterized by strong folding and faulting, which indicates good structural ground preparation for mineralizing fluids. The mapping program also indicates that the four historic holes drilled in 1986 had targeted strongly jasperoid altered outcrops which are distal to the main area of mineralization and all are situated outside the anomalous gold zone on surface. Despite this fact,historic hole AC-4 returned 18.3m of 0.23 g/t oxide Au (from 24.4m to 42.7m) and 24.4m of 0.56 g/t oxide Au (from 54.8m to 79.2m), including, 6.1m of 1.25 g/t Au (from 64.0m to 70.1m) (true thickness unknown) and terminated in gold mineralization (final two samples assaying 0.37 and 0.32 g/t Au)2.
Two large caps of post-mineral volcanic basalt interrupt the trend of mineralization in both soils and rocks on surface, however geological mapping indicates the thickness of the basalt to be less than 50 metres. The soils downslope from the basalt covered ridges have been heavily diluted by the weathered volcanic cover rocks and appear to be masking the true strength of the anomalous gold-in-soils in many places.
The next phase of work, planned to commence immediately, will consist of both extending and infilling the soil grid completed earlier this season with a focus on the strongly anomalous areas and having an improved understanding of the soil regions that have been diluted by post-mineral volcanic cover. Following the second phase of soil sampling will be a final phase of geologic mapping and rock sampling which will aim to select and define the best possible drill targets for the 2020 season.
