Larvotto Resources Limited announced it has commenced a combined Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) and Induced Polarisation (IP) geophysical survey at its Ohakuri Gold Project, located in the North Island of New Zealand. The Ohakuri Gold Project is a partially explored epithermal gold system that lies within the Taupo Volcanic Zone. Previous exploration by several companies dating back to the 1970s has delineated a large, lower- grade zone of gold mineralisation.

Significantly, feeder zones that generated this mineralisation were not targeted during these early phases of exploration. The aim of the current ERT/IP geophysical survey is to both infill and refine the previous broad scale geophysical survey work undertaken at Ohakuri, and to gain more detail at depth regarding the location of the potential Ohakuri and Maleme gold feeder conduits. These gold conduits have potentially provided mineralisation to the very thick zones of lower grade mineralisation that cover an extensive area within the central portion of the Project.

As highlighted previously, historic drilling into this broad scale mineralisation has produced gold hits including: 172m at 0.41g/t Au; 215m at 0.21g/t Au; 160m at 0.32g/t Au; 170m at 0.24g/t Au.
