TomaGold Corporation (TSXV: LOT) has unveiled its plans for current and future activities at its Obalski, Star Lake and Brisk projects in Canada.
Drilling programme completed at Obalski
Following the recommendations of Abitibi Geophysics of Val-d’Or at the end of 2022, the Corporation drilled four holes for a total of 1,386.4m between April 11 and April 24, 2023 on its Obalski property. This program targeted two priority areas:
- A north-northeast trending fault intersecting the A-Po Zone, which may contain remobilization of the A-Po Zone mineralization. Three holes (OBS-23-026 to OBS-23-28) were drilled on this structure for a total of 837.1m.
- The eastern extension of the A-Po Zone which had not been previously explored. A 550m hole (OBS-23-29) was drilled on this “Metal Factor” anomaly.
The samples were shipped to ALS in Val-d’Or at the end of April. Results should be available by the end of May 2023.
Re-analysis of historical samples on Obalski
The processing of approximately 300 samples from historical drilling is still underway. Final results are expected by the end of May 2023.
Prospecting programme on Star Lake and Brisk
The prospecting programme on the Star Lake and Brisk properties is scheduled to begin at the end of May. These two properties are favourably located in the same geological context as the projects owned by Winsome Resources and Patriot Battery Metals (Brisk) and Brunswick Exploration (Star Lake).
The work will be carried out by the Dahrouge Group. Approximately three weeks of work is planned and will consist mainly of identifying rock outcrops and collecting samples for analysis for lithium and rare earth elements. The teams will be equipped with a scintillometer and a portable XRF machine.
Upcoming drilling programme on Obalski
The 2017 drilling programme on Obalski outlined a significant NNE-SSW structure, which has not been followed up. Hole OB-17-002 had intercepted a 3.1m mineralized structure that graded 10.3g/t Au, 42.2g/t Ag and 7.8% Cu. The Corporation plans to carry out a 1,000m drilling program on this structure in early June 2023.
“Over the coming months, we will be active on our three main projects, all of which have excellent exploration potential,” President and CEO, David Grondin, said.
“Our exploration strategy is to gather as much data as possible to optimize our chances of success when we drill, and with the minimum investment possible. This strategy has allowed us to make important discoveries in the past such as Monster Lake, and we anticipate that it will also be successful for Obalski, Star Lake and Brisk.”
About the Obalski property
The Obalski property covers 345 hectares about 2km south of Chibougamau, Quebec. Discovered in 1928, the Obalski deposit produced 100,273t at grades of 1.14% Cu, 2.08g/t Au and 6.04g/t Ag from the A zone between 1964 and 1972, and around 9,000t at a reported grade of 8.5g/t Au from the D zone in 1984.
