Carrying Out Pulse-EM Geophysical Survey In Four Drill Holes
TomaGold Corp. (TSXV:LOT) has confirmed it will conduct a four-hole Pulse-EM geophysical survey in preparation for a 10,000m drilling programme on its wholly-owned Obalski property, located three km south of Chibougamau in Quebec, Canada.
The survey will be carried out by Géophysique TMC of Val-d’Or and involves inserting a probe into the existing drill holes and identifying the sulphides present.
Combined with the historical drill results compiled in 2020, this will allow the corporation to better define the parameters of the next drilling programme.
The target zone lies at a vertical depth of 400m to 600m. The goal of the survey is to gather additional information on the sulphide zone, including its strike, dip and vertical depth.
“The goal of the upcoming drilling programme is to carry out the work as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible, and we are therefore conducting a Pulse-EM survey to optimize drill hole selection,” President and CEO, David Grondin, said.
“The survey and data compilation should take two or three weeks and then we will start drilling as soon as the drill rig becomes available. The high demand for drill rigs in the area has caused a delay beyond our control, but we expect drilling to start in the next few weeks.”
The corporation previously obtained excellent results from a 2,502m drilling programme conducted in the winter of 2020-2021, with several high-grade gold and copper values, including 47.4 g/t Au, 87.6 g/t Ag and 7.06% Cu over 1.1m and 67.1 g/t Au, 40.1 g/t Ag and 2.32% Cu over 0.5m in hole OBS-20-002; 12.45 g/t Au, 17.7 g/t Ag and 0.53% Cu over 0.65m in hole OBS-20-001; and 23.7 g/t Au and 24.5 g/t Ag over 0.5m in hole OBS-21-005.
