A trenching program by Jordex Resources (JDX-T) has returned encouraging results from a gold-in-soil anomaly at the Pontes E Lacerda property in the western Brazilian state of Mato Grosso. The soil anomaly is underlain by an induced-polarization (IP) chargeability anomaly.
The trenching exposed an 80-metre zone of stockwork quartz veining in sericite schists. The veins dip shallowly and indicate a true width of about 30 metres. Channel samples at 1-metre intervals returned an average gold grade of 1.13 grams gold per tonne over the 80 metres of exposure. The company notes that internal to the broad zone is a narrower interval carrying 3.07 grams over 21 metres, including a 12-metre section of 4.27 grams.
Reverse-circulation drilling will test the zone to a 50-metre depth. This program will be carried out over a strike length of 400 metres of the combined IP and soil geochemical anomalies.
In the meantime, trenching will test both the northern end of the drill target and two smaller soil anomalies to the south. Trenching also is planned for two more soil anomalies, some 500 metres to the east.
