- Gold 50’s preliminary soil sampling program has outlined a 2 km zone of key pathfinder parts for Carlin-type gold deposits on the White Caps Undertaking
- Gold, arsenic, mercury antimony, and thallium are all strongly anomalous
- One-third of the 276 soil samples returned > 0.1g/t gold ( > 100 ppb)
- Gold averaged 0.527 g/t and mercury (Hg) averaged 4.44 ppm throughout these 92 samples. Better than 1 ppm Hg in soils is taken into account extremely anomalous
- This program represents step one in making use of fashionable exploration methods on the property in additional than 20 years
- Excessive-grade White Caps Mine produced greater than 125,000 ounces at circa 30g/t gold
- A number of untested near-mine and district targets stay to be drilled
- Trenching of the two km zone to start in early March, 2023
The soil sampling program outlined a strongly anomalous zone over 2km alongside strike from the high-grade White Caps Mine on patented claims (personal land). Arsenic, mercury, antimony and thallium – the important thing pathfinder parts for Carlin-style gold deposits had been all very anomalous.
Gold 50’s Managing Director, Mark Wallace, commented:
“Our preliminary White Caps exploration program has exceeded our expectations by confirming that the mission is extremely potential for Carlin-style gold mineralisation.
“We already knew that the White Caps Undertaking space had the proper rocks and buildings for Carlin- type gold deposits. Historic work had by no means confirmed the presence of the Carlin-style path finders and the consistency and scale of those outcomes outperform even our most optimistic expectations.
“Our plan is to outline drill targets by trenching throughout the potential zones, finishing a drone magnetic survey, and endeavor discipline mapping. Engaged on our Patented claims means workflows could be accomplished shortly.
“G50 has the workforce in place to proceed working up White Caps and we stay up for updating the market quickly on assays from our preliminary two diamond drill holes at our flagship Golconda Undertaking in Arizona. RC drilling is to begin by the tip of the month.”
Determine 1 – Plan summarising outcomes from White Caps Soil Sampling
The soil sampling program comprised 276 samples collected on Gold 50’s patented claims. This system focused structural intersections throughout the west-northwest hanging Cambrian White Caps Limestone unit and cross-cutting north-south faults.
Of the 276 samples, 92 (33%) of the samples assayed larger than 0.1ppm or 0.1g/t gold, which is taken into account to be extremely anomalous. The common gold content material throughout these 92 samples was 0.527 ppm (= 0.527g/t). The ten greatest samples ranged from 0.9g/t to 7.5g/t gold.
Carlin-style pathfinder parts together with arsenic, mercury, antimony, and thallium had been all current and extremely anomalous. The numerical averages of the assays for all 276 samples and the subset of the 92 extremely anomalous samples are offered in Desk 1 beneath:
Desk 1 – Averages of White Caps Soil Pattern Outcomes
The outcomes for mercury are significantly encouraging as any assay with > 1ppm mercury is taken into account a robust end result. The common mercury response throughout the 276 samples of 1.59 ppm is extremely anomalous.
Determine 1 above reveals the placement of the 276 soil samples and in depth zones with > 50ppb gold over roughly 2km of strike.
The seven goal zones recognized for follow-up are focussed on probably the most anomalous assays for the pathfinder parts famous in Desk 1. Goal Zone 3 additionally has elevated sulphur, copper, zinc, and bismuth.
The White Caps Gold Mine is positioned between Goal Zones 5, 6, and seven, which was not sampled as a consequence of important floor disturbance. The soil sampling program took nice care in avoiding disturbed areas and 33 deliberate samples weren’t collected as a consequence of floor disturbance and potential contamination, primarily brought on by historic mining.
Images exhibiting the pattern pit, pattern quantity and consultant pattern materials had been taken at every pattern website using a theodolite-type app that captured the day, time and coordinates for every location.
Mineralisation on the White Caps Mine is concentrated alongside structural intersections throughout the Cambrian White Caps Limestone unit which averages 20m in thickness. Quite a few cross-cutting north-south faults localise mineralisation throughout the host carbonates. The soil sampling program and extremely anomalous soil outcomes lengthen effectively outdoors of the White Caps Limestone, growing our understanding and focusing on of the district potential of the White Caps Undertaking.
