Target development for epithermal exploration utilising deep DCIP and MT

Challenges

The key objective was to accurately map the deep structure to depths well below 300m.

Solutions

The TITAN system was deployed across several lines. DCIP Imaging was provided to depths of 750 metres and detailed array based MT imaging was provided to depths of 1500 – 2000 metres across the block.

Highlights

The survey provided significant targetting capabilities across the tenure. Titan surveys have identified over 15 major chargeability high and resistivity low anomalies, that are consistent with vein-gold mineralized zones, and lie buried from 100-750m depth.

Anomalies are oriented along 5 linear trends (A-E) that extend across the property.

Zone A corresponds to the main Gralheira vein system. It is mapped from surface to >500-750m depths as an IP high feature. It shows potential deep extensions along L100W in particular, L700W and possibly 250E. Deeper ore shoots are implied between 400E and 300W along baseline. Additional secondary veins are indicated north of main Gralheira system.
