Two breccia pipes containing gold, silver and zinc mineralization have been discovered by Aurogin Resources (AUGX-C) north of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.
According to the junior, its wholly owned Batchawana property in the Lake Superior Basin is part of an ancient geological rift with associated mineral deposits.
The breccia discoveries, called Mountain and Richards, were defined by airborne geophysics and will be drill-tested later this autumn.
The Mountain breccia is a strong resistivity anomaly, flanked by induced-polarization anomalies, a mere 3.5 km southwest of the past-producing Tribag copper mine. Shallow drilling tested the target, intersecting numerous veinlets with zinc, copper, arsenic, lead and molybdenum mineralization.
Assays are awaited for three holes that encountered 6-to-8-metre-long sections of massive sulphide veins.
The first two holes drilled to test the surface outcrop of the Richards breccia encountered 14-metre-long and 42-metre-long sections, which averaged more than 1% copper, plus gold and silver values.
Aurogin intends to conduct a major exploration effort on the breccias and other nearby targets.
