The Cs-Nb-Li- Ta assemblage traces the potential presence of lithium baring pegmatites and associated felsic intrusions. Typically, this suite of elements indicates the potential presence of lithium bearing granitic intrusions and pegmatites. At Ruby Hill East, a very strong anomaly underlines the southern boundary of the greenstone belt in an area where late intrusions can be observed in the magnetics intruding metavolcanics and adjacent gneissic terrains. Greenstone belt boundaries are a very favourable location for lithium mineralisation as, traditionally, lithium pegmatites develop from late differentiated fluids associated with granitic intrusions which find their way through the older and more brittle rocks forming the greenstone part of the belt. This structural environment is where most lithium pegmatite deposits are found.
The combination of Ni-Co-Cr-Cu highlights the presence of ultramafic intrusions and flows, prospective for magmatic nickel sulphides and potentially associated PGE mineralisation. Benz 2021 soils samples show strong Co-Cr-Ni-Cu anomalism to the south of the Ruby Hill West project. The magnetics indicate the presence of multiple late intrusions covering an area of approximately 3km x 2km. Coincidentally, this area is at the boundary between Archean greenstones and an interpreted gneissic terrain with younger intrusions, possibly granitic, a major fault zone and potential fluid path for mineralisation. There are also anomalous areas in the
The combination of Au-Ag-Bi-W is a signature for orogenic / intrusion hosted gold deposits. The extension of soils samples coverage highlighted strong gold potential along strike from the high grade Mine Horizon with several new areas highlighted by strong anomalism extending mineralisation potential. Previous exploration had identified gold occurrences over 10 km of strike. Soils samples results from this campaign add 2km of prospective strike with strong gold anomalism to the northwest and the southeast of the
The combination of A, Cd, Zn, Cu and Sb gives an assemblage typical of VMS settings. There is a strong anomalism over the extent of the Mine Horizon in the
Soils Sampling Campaign
Benz's 2021 campaign was designed to extend sample coverage into new areas where there was limited or no coverage of soils done by previous exploration. This strategy is in line with Benz's perception of the Upper Eastmain greenstone belt potential and its very low level of exploration to date. Newly collected samples extended areas of strong anomalism and uncovered new zones of interest, generally coincident with geophysical anomalies, enhancing the prospectivity of the whole greenstone belt currently owned by
