Work completed in 2021 and 2022 has identified a large gold exploration target, which demonstrates the potential for a camp scale extension to this highly prospective mineralized region west of
The data highlights a compelling new gold target at Jolly,' stated CEO
Work completed by Transition in 2021 and 2022 included; the completion of a high-resolution airborne magnetic survey, property scale orientation mapping and prospecting, the completion of a 1,159 sample MMI soil survey covering approximately a third of the property and the mechanical excavation and detailed structural mapping and sampling of 4 trenches.
Discussion of Results
The airborne magnetic survey highlighted three major northeast trending fault systems transecting the property, trends of iron formation as well as a network of east by northeast cross structures parallel to those hosting gold at known showings between the Poshkokagan and
The MMI sampling highlights a 4-kilometer trend of elevated gold pathfinder elements in soil developed with gold values up to 50 times background. This soil trend appears to follow and underlying cluster of syntectonic intrusions.
Channel sampling in the vicinity of the Fat Beagle showing (located within this trend) exposed two zones of gold mineralization associated with east-west shearing. The Fat Beagle north showing consists of a 5 metre wide zone of veining exposed along strike in trench for 15 metres. The average of 29 samples cut across this shear zone representing 17.08 metres of select channel sampling returned an average grade of 5.23 g/t Au with the highest interval being 146.7 g/t Au over 0.45 metres. At the Roadside showing 1.2 kilometres along strike to the to the east, a much broader zone of elevated gold, copper and tungsten was exposed. Across 5-10 metre wide EW shear zone exposed along strike over 40 metres, 12 samples representing 8.94 m of select channel sampling returned an average of 0.28 g/t Au.
