A program of stripping, detailed mapping, channeling and sampling was performed in September on anomaly “A” on property in Currie Twp. located in northern Quebec between Val d’Or and Chibougamau, Norwood Exploration reports.
These works were undertaken to “open” an old trench wherein high gold grades (2.37 oz per ton and 0.22 oz) were obtained from selected grab samples, the company reports.
Hosted in balsaltic lava, the mineralized zone consists of felsic material and stretches at least 98 ft; a swamp at the west end prevents stripping in that direction. Thickness of the mineralized zone varies from 3-13 ft; the dip ranges from sub-vertical to 45 degrees south.
The zone indicates an abundance of shearing and the presence of numerous siliceous veins and veinlets. The well-drawn material contains 10-50% sulphides, disseminated to massive, including pyrite, pyrrhotite and an abundance of graphite and specularite; marcasite was identified at one point.
Preliminary findings in the old trenches suggest a gold-quartz vein association. Channeling and ensuing sampling also lead the company to believe the gold is associated with the sulphurous-graphitic masses.
Geophysical studies indicate magnetic and electromagnetic profiles which mark the presence of this anomaly along 1,000 ft. The structural control must be verified. The company has launched a drill- core campaign to evaluate the anomaly and its lateral extent.
