Guskin Gold Corp (OTCQB:GKIN) has initiated its 2022 ground geophysical work programme on the Kukuom Gold Project in the Sefwi-Bibiani Gold Belt, Ghana, Africa.
The company contracted Terranet Limited to carry out an Induced Polarisation (IP) and a Ground Magnetic Surveys over the Kukuom’s “Open Pit” prospect
Both ground surveys follow up on the highly favourable airborne geophysical target at the “Open Pit” area that the company previously announced on March 7, 2022 when the company completed an interpretation of the airborne geophysics survey coincident with high-grade grab and chip samples.
The report identified six high-priority target anomalies; the most promising covering the “Open Pit” is a 2,000 m long magnetic anomaly directly overlain and correlating to the previously announced high-grade rock samples, which tested up to 46.6 g/t gold in the area known as the “Open Pit”.
Terranet Limited is based in Accra, Ghana and will be conducting the survey over the Kukuom “Open Pit” prospect.
The field crew, will be starting the survey mid-August which covers an estimated area of 1.6 sq. kms, with approximately 16.8-line kms of IP, employing the pole-dipole array with a dipole spacing of 25 m using 8 dipoles. The Ground Magnetics survey will cover approx. 40-line kms. The survey is scheduled to take approximately six weeks to complete, followed by analysis and interpretation of the resulting data.
For the past years Terranet has been involved with acquiring, processing, interpreting, and evaluating a wide range of airborne and ground geophysical data throughout Ghana and West Africa, using this information for exploration purposes as well as in the preparation of large- and small-scale maps, from data capture (digitising), structuring, through to integration of processing and interpretation.
The IP/resistivity and magnetic surveys will be carried out across the area of the “Open Pit”, extending East and West of the favourable contact zones of the metasedimentary and metavolcanic units that hosts gold-quartz vein systems. The intent of extensions beyond the contact zone is to allow for deep penetration of the substrata, up to 400 m subsurface, and identify any buried mineralisation beneath the current 17-hole, 150 m proposed drill depth planned for later this season.
“The proposed exploration programme is designed to give us a better understanding of the subsurface gold mineralisation,” Director of Exploration, Francis Lovebridge, said.
“The purpose of the geophysics is to fingerprint and characterise zones of gold-bearing veins of suitable size to allow for their possible mining. We believe numerous zones may be identified and that could provide sufficient material for mining operations to begin, and hopefully continue for many years to come.”
