Gold 79's targeting strategy resulted in the collection of 2,926 soil samples along 100m spaced grid lines at 25m stations covering the entire mineral claim block. The results reveal a four square kilometre circular gold-in-soil anomaly. The highest Au-in-soil value was 4,470 ppb Au and anomalous values were distributed as follows: twenty-nine samples returned greater than 500 ppb Au; ninety-nine samples were greater than 200 ppb Au, 234 samples were greater than 100 ppb Au and 631 samples were greater than 20 ppb Au.
The silver-in-soil contour plot reveals a smaller 1.2km by 1.1km anomaly positioned within the gold anomaly. Both the gold and silver anomalies suggest a strong northwest response to the Jefferson Canyon fault.
The highest Ag-in-soil value was 339 ppm Ag and anomalous values were distributed as follows: fifty-six samples returned greater than 10 ppm Ag; one hundred and thirty-seven samples were greater than 5 ppm Ag, two hundred and eighty-eight samples were greater than 2 ppm Ag and four hundred and twenty-six samples were greater than 1 ppm Ag.
Based on the 2,926 soil samples analysed, gold has a moderate positive correlation with Pb and As both having a 0.556 r values. The correlation between Au and Ag is moderately positive at 0.44. Silver reveals a strong positive correlation to Cu, Mn and Pb, with r values of 0.797, 0.717 and 0.638, respectively.
Au correlates well with Ag, As, Pb, Sb and Ag correlates well with Cu-Mn-Pb. Many of the high silver rocks samples contained MnOx in veins.
Based upon 46 rock samples from the
