The Phase 2 exploration program will concentrate around an exploration target with promising gold and silver assay results recently reported from the Phase 1 prospecting and rock sampling program. The geological work will be carried out on a 100-hectare section of the property with grid-controlled detailed mapping and rock sampling focused on a 25-hectare central block covering the core of the gold and silver discovery area with additional mapping and sampling of the surrounding area.
The newly discovered area includes an exposure of intense oxidation and argillic alteration. Grab samples from this area returned a high value of 9.65 g/t Au and 515 g/t Ag and several samples with > 0.1 g/t Au and anomalous to highly anomalous base metal and path finder element values.
Silver Spruce is currently in year 1 of a 2 year agreement to earn 50% of the
A six-person team (two senior geologists, two junior geologist and two field assistants) and all necessary logistical support will undertake the Phase 2 exploration program, including rock sampling and geological mapping of known areas exhibiting significant alteration or mineralization, collection of structural data and alteration zoning to assist with vectoring toward potential Phase 3 drilling targets. The team also will investigate several known hyperspectral alteration targets identified from satellite imagery. All aspects of the exploration program will be conducted with strict adherence to COVID-19 protocols for personal safety.
