Scott Anderson, Vice President Exploration, commented: “Drilling to date confirms the Gunnar porphyry as a compelling exploration target, with its continuity now established both along strike and to depth, demonstrating significant scale potential.
The principal exploration targets in the Tinney Project area are arranged along the Gunnar porphyry – a large synvolcanic intrusion that has been traced along strike on surface for 2.4 kilometres and hosts, at its southern extent, the historical high-grade Gunnar deposit .
Intensely fractured, veined and altered porphyry with anomalous gold values has been intersected over thick, continuous intervals in several drillholes, with localized high-grade gold associated with quartz-sulphide veins in the porphyry and at its contacts , indicating that it was a significant conduit for gold-bearing fluids.
Sample handling, preparation and analysis are monitored through the implementation of formal chain-of-custody procedures and quality assurance-quality control in Ancastor, Ontario, for preparation by crushing to 80% passing 2.0 millimetres, riffle splitting to obtain 250-gram aliquots, and pulverizing to 95% passing 106 microns; the pulverizer bowl is cleaned with sand after each sample.
