Key Highlights
Newly identified circular magnetic low Donut anomaly that was briefly ground-truthed by Troubadour field crews, produces 288 g/t silver from a grab sample.
New kilometre-scale Big Fir target, derived from coincident chargeable high and magnetic low anomalies with an overlapping high Calculated Time Constant, detected in an area recently logged.
Regional-scale NE/SW-trending structure coincides with known mineralization.
Grab samples are by definition selective. Grab samples are solely designed to show the presence or absence of mineralization, and are not intended to provide nor should be construed as a representative indication of grade or mineralization at the Project.
'The VTEM survey has produced very distinct and compelling targets. The Big Fir target may represent a buried mineralized intrusive body, and the Donut anomaly has already revealed silicified and mineralized brecciated volcanic rock discovered during a very short field visit. We are eagerly looking forward to the coming field season and will be deploying a crew for thorough follow-up work once conditions permit,' states
The Donut anomaly is a discrete circular magnetic low surrounded to the north by magnetic highs measuring approximately 450 m in diameter. The anomaly lays on the northern fringe of the kilometre-scale Big Fir chargeability high anomaly. A brief field visit by Troubadour's technical team to the Donut anomaly during 2021 resulted in three rock grab samples being collected that returned results ranging from 0.28 g/t to 288 g/t silver. The 288 g/t silver grab sample was of silicified, brecciated andesite with accompanying anomalous Cu and Zn values.
The geophysical responses from all of the surveys highlight a linear structure transecting the Property from SW to NE that coincides with alteration and sulphide mineralization observed both on surface and in drill core from prior Troubadour work programs. Of greatest interest, the calculated Tau measurements show a strong relationship between the linear structure and the Big Fir anomaly, potentially representing fluid movement along the structure.
Survey Details
In total, 625 line-km of geophysical data was acquired covering 55 sq. km. Traverse lines were flown due east-west and spaced 100 m apart, with tie lines flown north-south every 1000 m.
