The program aimed to expand a upon a previous soil grid covering the western portion of the Property, conduct geological mapping and prospect for gold and silver mineralization.
Numerous highly anomalous results from grab sampling grading up to 6.4 g/t Au, identified a new area of gold mineralization and confirmed gold mineralization in the area of historic diamond drilling. These two gold targets, separated by a distance of 1.2 km, are connected by a trend of Au-Bi-Te-W anomalous soil samples.
News Highlights
New Gold Zone Identified. A total of 69 grab sample results were collected at the Shabu property with numerous highly anomalous results grading up to 6.4 g/t Au. These results confirm historic gold mineralization and identified a new area of mineralization 1.2 km to the southeast.
2 km Trend of Anomalous Soil Results. Results from the 2022 soil survey yielded 2 km northwest-southeast long trending of gold-bismuth-tellurium anomalies. This anomalous area correlates to known gold mineralization in bedrock. In 2022, 501 soil samples were collected, bringing the total database to 1024 soil samples. The highest gold in soil sample was 1.1 g/t Au.
New Targets Identified. Several targets for future exploration programs have been identified as a result of the 2022 exploration program. Next steps include additional prospecting to test the extent of known gold mineralization along the 1.2 km trend, investigating the eastern portion soil anomalies that are unaccompanied by known mineralization in bedrock, and extending the coverage of soil sampling throughout the Property.
