Observations from drilling 3 holes (583 meters total) on Pad 15 all intersected significant intervals of sulphide mineralization up to 98.99 meters. It consists of stringers and aggregations of semi-massive to massive pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pyrite within veins, stockwork and breccia. Sulphide mineralization has been observed throughout the drill holes and remains open. This is a 1.5 km step out to the west at Pad 15 from Pad J located on the New Extension Target.
In addition, the
Drill hole GD-22-28
Drill hole GD-22-28 (azimuth 020-degree; dip -70-degree, EOH 112 m) intercepted a broad 15.89 meters interval of sulphide mineralization from 17.46 meters to 33.35 meters with a 57.83 meters envelope of veining and chlorite-epidote alteration with trace sulphides from bedrock to 62.50 meters. Mineralization mainly consists of stringers and aggregations of pyrrhotite up to 2 centimeters wide within quartz-chlorite-epidote veins and breccia and disseminated and fracture-hosted pyrite.
Drill Hole GD-22-28 targeted the projected plane of the
Drill hole GD-22-29
Drill hole GD-22-29 (azimuth 134-degree; dip -70-degree, EOH 270 m) intercepted 3 broad intervals of alternating sulphide mineralization and quartz-epidote-chlorite veining, stockwork and breccia from 4.46 meters (start of bedrock) to 53.89 meters (49.43 m interval), from 64.27 meters to 86.20 meters (21.93 meters interval) and from 106.15 meters to 175.46 meters (69.31 meters interval). Mineralization for the majority consists of millimeter- to centimeter-size aggregations and stringers of pyrrhotite/pyrite, disseminated sulphides and trace sphalerite.
Drill Hole GD-22-28 targeted the projected plane of the
Drill hole GD-22-31
Drill hole GD-22-29 (azimuth 235-degree; dip -65-degree, EOH 199 m) intercepted a broad interval of mainly disseminated sulphide mineralization associated with quartz-chlorite-epidote veining from 3.17 meters to 102.16 m meters (interval 98.99 meters). Stringers and centimeter-size domains of semi-massive pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite occur in the top part of the hole (to 18.38 m), where the drill hole intersected the Cloud 9 fault.
Drill Hole GD-22-31 targeted the projected plane of the Cloud 9 fault modelled based on surface measurements obtained from mapping and surface sampling.
Observed Mineralization
The rock observed in the core of all three holes completed on Pad 15 consists of a sulphide-rich plagioclase-phyric to porphyritic andesite with strong biotite, chlorite, sericite and epidote surrounding veins, brecciated domains and fractures. Mineralization primarily occurs as mm to cm stringers and aggregations of sulphides within quartz-biotite-chlorite-sericite filled fractures and veins throughout a strongly biotitized-chloritized and/or epidotized andesitic host rock and as disseminated grains throughout the altered andesite. The majority of the mineralization consists of pyrrhotite (locally up to 5%), pyrite (locally up to 2%) and minor chalcopyrite. Pyrrhotite is generally found throughout the core as millimeter- to centimeter-size stringers and aggregations within the strongly altered domains and disseminated within the host rock. Pyrite occurs throughout the andesitic rocks as millimeter-size disseminated crystals and in stringers and aggregations up to a few millimeters wide. The mineralized andesitic rocks show patchy biotite-chlorite and/or epidote alteration generally associated with veining, breccia and fractures containing sulphide mineralization. The biotite alteration and textures in combination with the chloritization, silica alteration/quartz veining, epidotization and sulphide precipitation all indicate fluid movement through the rock from a nearby intrusive source.
