Highlights of the Holes Disclosed in this News Release
Hawkmoon received the highest gold grade for the Program in HMW 21-28 at 83.6 grams per tonne ('g/t') gold over one metre; This high-grade sample is a discovery of a new gold zone at the Midrim. This discovery is approximately 50 metres south of all previously known gold mineralization at Midrim. HMW 21-28 also extended the Midrim to the east; A secondary intercept in HMW 21-28 extends a historical intercept in hole V-1 (1.2 metres @ 21.70 g/t gold). V-1 is situated approximately 30 metres to the west. The variations in grades demonstrate the prevalence of the 'nugget effect' commonly seen in Archaean aged gold mineralization; Hole HMW 21-27 extended a gold zone about 30 metres to the east. This gold zone was present higher up-hole than expected in HMW 21-27. The zone was situated immediately below the casing. Follow up work is recommended in this area to examine if this gold zone is thicker by drilling a new hole collared further to the north and Hawkmoon has expanded the Midrim to the east, west and south.
Gold mineralization is open in all three of these directions at the Midrim.
Mineralization Setting and Style
The Midrim is situated where a volcanic tuff contacts a gabbro or dioritic intrusion. The most prospective areas of the Property are along the contacts between volcanic tuffs and intrusions. The Midrim can strike either northeast-southwest or east-west. Rocks at the Midrim dip sub vertically.
The Holes intercepted Midrim mineralization (the 'Mineralization'). This Mineralization is characterized as a beige to pale grey coloured volcanic tuff which has been strongly foliated, sheared, fractured and altered. Mineralization at the Midrim is associated with strong silica, sericite and calcite alteration. Ankerite and chlorite alteration are present to a lesser degree. The Mineralization often displays a striped appearance due to abundant parallel laminations. This appearance is most dramatic in areas with quartz veins intruding areas of increased local chlorite alteration. Pyrite is the dominant sulphide mineral. Chalcopyrite is observed to a lesser degree with visible gold being present locally. Quartz veins as well as quartz veinlets occupy a significant portion of the Mineralization. These veins contain sulphide minerals and are orientated parallel or sub parallel to the foliation.
