Tri Origin eyes Timmins area gold

Junior Tri Origin Exploration (TOE-T) has outlined several promising gold targets at its English gold property near Timmins, Ont.

The announcement follows a program of geochemical prospecting and soil sampling in which 79 rock and 1,095 soil samples were taken. The company also surveyed 15 line km by ground geophysical methods.

At the northern end of the property, Tri Origin found six separate gold-in-soil anomalies. Each is coincident with an induced-polarization anomaly and all are within a 7.5-km-long segment of the contact between the Deloro and Tisdale groups, the latter of which hosts several gold deposits nearby.

Also discovered were several gold showings at the southern portion of the property. These yielded between 1 and 6.6 grams gold per tonne in grab samples and were found along structures that transverse the Larder Lake Break, a regional fault associated with gold deposits in the Kirkland Lake district, 100 km to the east.

In addition to gold, the property is considered promising for base metal mineralization. The geophysical survey detected two areas of high conductivity in felsic pyroclastic rocks along the Deloro-Tisdale contact.

Each area is interpreted as being a buried body of massive or disseminated sulphide mineralization. Drilling will begin shortly.
