BTU Metals Corp. Provides Update and Identifies New Target Areas
Windfall Geotek, is in the process of completing a revised report based on new information available from both sides of the border, (Kinross's Dixie project and BTU's Dixie Halo). Additionally, the team recently returned from site and has mapped and sampled some previously un-surveyed areas. The team is currently planning the next field program expected to take place in the new year in order to hone in and prioritize targets within these areas. Because the Company focused on drilling wide spaced step-out holes targeting the geophysical signature at the time, there were few holes drilled in the immediate area of the discovery. The nearest drill holes along strike were drilled ~260 metres north and ~370 metres south of discovery hole 13, thus a minimum of ~630 m of strike length in the immediate vicinity of the discovery has not been follow-up drill tested along strike. To date, most of the work done following the TNT discovery focused on the area south of the discovery. Future work will focus on the relatively unexplored areas to the north of, and in the immediate vicinity of the TNT discovery. Anomalous gold was encountered in most of the drill holes in the TNT area and there are strong similarities between the rock units and alteration at the TNT area and the LP Fault area that hosts the world class gold mineralization on the Kinross Dixie project to the northwest. The extension of the LP Fault structure, if it continues to the southeast on the Kinross project and beyond would be through the area north of the TNT discovery and the associated broad alteration that accompanies the mineralization.
