At the Coleman Canyon property in Nevada, held by Aur Resources (AUR-T), seven large backhoe trenches have uncovered disseminated gold in sedimentary rock.
Most of the trenches intersected multiple mineralized zones, the largest being 115 metres wide. The grades, ranging from 0.3 to 3.8 grams per tonne (0.01 to 0.11 oz. per ton), are among the highest yet encountered at the property; they occur in the Southern zone, where trenching late in 1995 revealed significant widths of low-grade gold mineralization.
The mineralization occurs in sedimentary rocks intruded by granitic dykes and by a larger intrusive body. In contrast to mineralization in the northern part of the Coleman Canyon property, which is mainly held in veins in a granitic intrusion, gold in the southern zone appears to represent a Carlin-type replacement deposit in the sediments.
Next spring, Aur will drill the showing, as well as carry out trenching between the northern and southern showings.
