Discovery Africa Limited announced commencement of initial field works at the Chulitna Project in Alaska, USA. The Company engaged an Alaskan professional geological (and associated) services group to conduct a comprehensive review of historical exploration works and results from selected priority prospects within the project area, including a review of geophysical survey data. From this, an initial exploration program was prepared and arranged, with the primary target at the Partin Creek prospect selected. The review of historical data at Partin Creek identified previous rock-chip sampling along 600m of exposed skarns and veins with anomalous gold, copper and silver mineralisation. The mineralised exposure at Partin Creek occurs along a steep south facing spur ridge that extends for ~1.4km, whilst airborne geophysical data shows a strong continuity of the lithologic basalt/limestone host to Partin Creek mineralisation that extends for ~10km within the project area. The initial exploration program will aim to duplicate the known gold occurrences at Partin Creek and expand to the northeast (toward McCallie Creek prospect) and to the southwest, to target a robust and coherent gold system with considerable strike length. The fieldwork will comprise a two-week, helicopter supported rock sampling, geological mapping and reconnaissance sampling program at the Partin Creek prospect, with the target of extending the current gold mineralisation along the ~1.4km strike length area. In addition, samples will be collected along the ~10km strike of the basalt/limestone host, and further sampling at the other priority prospects that host structurally controlled Au/Ag bearing quartz vein-stockwork.
