2021 BoT/ToB drilling and follow-up diamond drilling confirm structural and geophysical model and identify multiple mineralized corridors along second order structure network.
Highlights - Paubacken Target
Final 117 additional BoT/ToB holes from fall 2021 drill program at Aida, Belle and Harpsund target areas
Follow up results at Aida target extended Au and pathfinder anomalism 500 metres (m) north along the shear zone, and discovered new Au and pathfinder anomaly on a sub parallel structure.
Initial BoT testing of Harpsund Ionic Leach till anomaly show elevated gold and additional pathfinder indications.
In total 7.7% of bedrock samples from the 2021 BoT/ToB drilling program showed anomalous Au values over 0.1 ppm and elevated pathfinder anomalism coincident with interpreted structural corridors and gold in till anomalism
Results from final 2 drillhole results from maiden 5 hole 670m diamond drilling program at Aida target (PAU21004 and PAU21005)
Paubacken Property
Previous highlights from Paubacken BoT/ToB drilling included a 3-meter sample of bedrock with 3.99 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) and a 1.5 metre sample with 1.425 g/t Au at the Aida target, demonstrating the presence of a blind previously unrecognized bedrock-hosted gold mineralization in the area.
Previously unreleased drillholes PAU21004 and PAU21005 were drilled southeast along strike of PAU21003. Although significant mineralization was not encountered, PAU21004 intercepted similar structure, alteration, and geology. Two zones of low-grade mineralization correlate to the zone encountered in PAU21003 situated 60m along strike to the north. PAU21005 was situated 220 m southeast of PAU21004 parallel to the main structural trend and did not intercept same geology or structure. In total 670 m were drilled in 5 diamond drill holes.
In addition to BoT/ToB results previously announced in Gold Line News Release
All targets occur along identified structural features identified from magnetics data and BoT geology, with the anomalism broadly related to zones of structural deformation.
Harpsun Target: New BoT/ToB results show a cluster of 8 anomalous bedrock samples of >0.1 g/t Au (21% of the holes) and elevated As anomalism. The drill program was designed to test a large Ionic Leach till anomaly and large area of coincident demagnetization located in an interpreted flexure within the Harpsund structural corridor. These results correspond to a 400 m portion of a 1900 m gold and associated pathfinder element Ionic Leach till anomaly and interpreted structural corridor.
In total, 201 BoT/ToB holes have been drilled at Paubacken for 2623m in 2020/2021 (170 in 2021 and 31 in 2020). Of these, 7.7% of the 402 bedrock samples collected returned with anomalous gold values of >0.1 g/t Au, all of which correspond to interpreted structural corridors.
Further BoT drilling and follow up diamond drilling is planned in the 2022 exploration program to infill and extend along identified structural corridors and confirm bedrock sources of till anomalies.
