Drilling primarily focused on the
Highlights of the drilling include: TOG-22-71 returned a downhole intercept (324.63 - 336.77m) of 1.13 grammes per ton (g/t) gold (Au) over 12.14 meters (m), visible gold was noted in this intercept. A second zone of mineralization (284.95 - 286.00m) was intercepted returning 12.3 g/t Au over 1.05m.
This hole was drilled to further define gold mineralization associated with the TOG fold structure. This zone contains moderate to strong albitization, strong silicification and local fuchsite within an altered felsite unit. Fine-grained disseminated cubic pyrite is the dominant sulfide throughout as well as locally within white quartz-carbonate veinlets. Pyrite ranges from 1-5%, with trace arsenopyrite and several fine specks of visible gold.
TOG-22-72 returned a downhole intercept (354.34 - 356.35m) of 4.71 g/t Au over 2.01m. A second zone of mineralization was cut (373.00 - 376.40m) returning 1.67 g/t Au over 3.4m. This hole was drilled 25m east of hole TOG-21-65A which returned a downhole intercept of 9.20 g/t Au over 4.47m to facilitate a better understanding of potential shallow dipping gold mineralization associated with secondary structures. Alteration consists of moderate to strong albitization and silicification within an altered conglomerate unit with local fuchsite. Fine-grained disseminated cubic pyrite occurs throughout and locally within white quartz-carbonate veinlets. Pyrite ranges from 1-5% along with trace arsenopyrite.
TOG-22-73 returned a downhole intercept (346.25 - 351.86m) of 4.24 g/t Au over 5.61 m. This hole was drilled 25m west of hole TOG-21-65A which returned a downhole intercept of 9.20 g/t Au over 4.47m. Like that of hole TOG-22-72, this hole was drilled to further define shallow dipping gold mineralization associated with secondary structures. A strongly altered felsite of intense albitization and silicification with associated wispy fuchsite alteration was intersected with fine-grained disseminated cubic pyrite throughout. Pyrite ranges from 1-5%with trace arsenopyrite and local fine specks of visible gold.
