The project area, which consists of 740 claims covering about 150 sq km, presents at least two major drill-ready gold targets – the Vortex and West Porphyry Zones.
The Vortex Zone consists of a northwest trending gold-bismuth-arsenic-antimony anomaly measuring 1,600m by 700m that averages over 500ppb gold in soils covering a zone consisting of fine disseminated pyrite and arsenopyrite within a silicified hydrothermal breccia.
According to the company, grab samples taken within the Vortex Zone have returned values up to 6.5 g/t gold.
This zone contains a 500 by 300m core which is intensely brecciated and clay altered that averaged more than one g/t gold with peak values up to 10.4 g/t gold in soils.
The West Porphyry Zone consists of a series of east-southeast trending, steeply south-southwest dipping altered quartz monzonite dykes.
Rock chip sampling returned values up to 0.86 g/t gold over 20.8m, and anomalous values to 1.26 g/t gold were returned from dykes across 2.5 sq km, the company said.
