GoldHaven Resources Corp. (CSE: GOH) has prioritised a follow-up campaign including soil grid extensions at newly identified target areas as well as prospecting and mapping of extensive newly acquired contiguous land positions in the belt at Smoke Mountain in British Columbia, Canada.
GoldHaven CEO, Justin Canivet, said given preliminary results from its summer work programme at Smoke Mountain, VTEM and LiDAR airborne surveys for the newly staked ground have also been scheduled for completion in October 2022.
“Our exploration results at Smoke Mountain this summer have prompted a high priority follow-up field programme,” Mr Canivet said.
“The objective of the campaign is to obtain geologically-based vectors to porphyry and epithermal targets on this highly prospective and exciting property. Lab results and airborne survey interpretation from our summer program are expected in the coming weeks and we look forward to further leveraging these data and adding shareholder value.”
GoldHaven has re-engaged Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd. to complete a comprehensive follow-up exploration programme at Smoke Mountain. This programme is focused on extending soil sampling grids at priority target areas defined in the recently completed 2022 summer program. Furthermore, the field work will focus on prospecting and mapping newly staked contiguous land positions. Detailed geological mapping, along with the soil geochemical work will improve the interpretation of the geophysical datasets and constrain target locations.
The company also has engaged Geotech Ltd. to conduct Helicopter-Borne VTEM and Magnetic Geophysical Surveys for the purpose of investigating the mineral potential over the extensive contiguous land position at Smoke Mountain. The proposed survey is approximately 721 line-kms over 1 block with a planned start date of late October. The survey will take 5-7 days to complete with the intention of targeting intermediate sulfidation polymetallic vein systems.
GoldHaven will be benefiting from Geotech Ltd’s Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM) geophysical system, which is excellent at locating discrete conductive anomalies as well as mapping lateral and vertical variations in resistivity.
Full waveform recording will also be employed to achieve very clean early-time measurements to effectively resolve near surface structures. GoldHaven will benefit from Geotech’s Concentric Transmitter – Receiver geometry, which ensures positive anomaly location and results in huge time and costs savings as there will be no need for ground follow-up. The technology has successfully been deployed globally for targeting work in epithermal precious metal districts.
Application for Drilling at Smoke Mountain in 2023
GoldHaven management is planning to acquire a Multi-Year Area-Based Exploration Permit for drilling in Q2 2023. The extensive geological, geochemical and geophysical campaigns from 2022 are yielding excellent preliminary porphyry and epithermal-style targets. GoldHaven is planning to carefully evaluate all of the obtained data during late 2022 and early 2023, with the objective of defining drill targets for testing going forward.
GoldHaven’s Smoke Mountain land position was recently doubled from 4,190 hectares to 8,645 hectares based on promising preliminary results from geological, geochemical and geophysical surveys conducted during the 2022 Smoke Mountain summer exploration program. The resulting large, contiguous land position defines a commanding land position in an emerging BC porphyry-epithermal belt. Copper, gold, and silver mineralisation is extensive in the region with several promising new discoveries and extensions to mineralisation
