Exploits Discovery Corp. (CSE: NFLD | OTCQX: NFLDF | FSE: 634) has started its 2023 sampling programme at Gazeebow South in central Newfoundland, Canada.
This programme will comprise 58 samples collected on a 500m x 500m grid pattern covering an approximately 5km-long segment of the interpreted Appleton Fault Zone that transects Exploits’ property.
“We are very excited about our Gazeebow South property, which covers an estimated 10km of Appleton Fault,” commented Exploits CEO and president, Jeff Swinoga.
“The results of this till sampling programme, together with prospecting, mapping, LiDAR & magnetic surveys, will help assist our geologists to identify, validate, and advance potential gold targets along the northern Appleton Fault Zone. Our field exploration programme this year is designed to generate and advance new gold targets along the northern prospective fault lines leading to a drilling decision later this year.”
The till sampling programme is a regionally successful method to determine the presence of gold mineralization within the study area by analyzing samples for indicator minerals, including gold.
The approximately 10kg samples will be collected from the immediately overlying bedrock, processed-tracked, and submitted to Overburden Drilling Management Limited (ODM) for analysis.
Once in the laboratory, the sample material will be thoroughly inspected for the presence of gold-indicator minerals. Gold grains that are identified within the samples will be counted, optically examined, and classified to ascertain the transport distance from their original bedrock source.
Upon completion of these bench studies, ODM will submit the heavy mineral concentrates (HMC) to an independent laboratory for assaying.
The goals of this programme are to follow up on gold-in-till signatures identified by Torq Resources (2017-2018) that are proximal to the interpreted Appleton Fault Zone and to test previously unexplored areas for indications of gold mineralization
ODM’s laboratory facilities are based in Ottawa, Canada. ODM’s experienced staff have performed similar studies from tills sourced from central Newfoundland and ODM holds a certificate of authorization from the Professional Geoscientists Ontario.
