Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 19, 2022) - Angold Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AAU) (FSE: 13L) (OTCQB: AAUGF) ("Angold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has commenced preparation work for its upcoming drill program at Iron Butte, Nevada.
温哥华,不列颠哥伦比亚省-(Newsfile Corp.-2022年4月19日)-安金资源有限公司 (多伦多证券交易所:AAU)(证券交易所:13L)(OTCQB:AAUGF) ("安金“或”公司“)很高兴地宣布,它已经开始为即将在内华达州铁巴特的钻探计划做准备工作。
Drill targets are the result of detailed coincident surface sampling, historic drilling, mapping and geophysical anomalies completed over 2021. Planned drilling will target coincident geochemical-geophysical anomalies in the newly staked Northern Extension Zone, lateral and depth extensions to Red Ridge and North Zone mineralization and targets in the lower plate of the Golconda Thrust, comprised of interpreted structural and disseminated targets.
钻探目标是2021年完成的详细重合地表采样、历史钻探、测绘和地球物理异常的结果。计划钻探的目标将是新划定的北部延伸带中符合的地球化学-地球物理异常,红脊和北区矿化的横向和深度延伸,以及Golconda逆冲断层下部板块的目标,包括解释的构造和浸染性目标。
With these new insights the Company has extended new drill targets along the range-front along a strike of over 6 km from the Red Ridge Zone through to the Northern Extension Zone. The Company is preparing pads and roadwork to commence drilling imminently.
有了这些新的见解,公司沿着靶场前线扩大了新的演习目标,沿着从红山区到北部延伸区的超过6公里的打击。该公司正在准备衬垫和道路工程,以便即将开始钻探。
Phase One drilling will be comprised of 5 holes, totalling 2,926 meters and may be expanded to 9 holes, totalling 5,502 meters upon exploration success.
一期钻探将由5个孔组成,总长2926米,勘探成功后可能扩大到9个孔,总长5502米。
Key Highlights
主要亮点
Multiple Targets: includes the Northern Extension Area as well as open mineralization along strike to the north and south of the historic resource area. Drilling is focused on expansion of known mineralized zones.
多个目标:包括北部延伸区以及历史资源区北部和南部走向的露天矿化。钻探的重点是扩大已知的矿化带。
Higher Grade: near paleosurface (shallow) level of exposure within the epithermal system and potential for higher grade gold mineralization at depth.
较高年级:近古地表(浅)的浅表热液系统内的暴露水平和深部较高品位金矿化的潜力。
Large Mineralized Strike: of approximately >6 km in length, with consistent gold mineralization along the entirety of the range front on the Company's claims.
大型矿化罢工:全长约>6公里,沿本公司声称的整个山脉前缘有一致的金矿化。
Geophysics: has identified shallow structures in the Northern Area Extension as well as at depth in the historic resource area.
地球物理学:确定了北部地区延伸区的浅层构造以及历史资源区的深层构造。
Geochemistry: coincident Au-Ag-Hg-Se-As anomalies extend north of known mineralization for 1.2km, at which point anomalous rocks become covered by relatively shallow surface gravels.
地球化学:Au-Ag-Hg-Se-As重合异常在已知矿化以北延伸1.2公里,此时异常岩石被相对较浅的地表砾石覆盖。
Historic Resource: Iron Butte boasts an historic resource of 606,186 oz Au at 0.62 g/t (not 43-101 compliant) with multiple opportunities for expansion.
历史资源:Iron Butte拥有606,186盎司Au的历史资源,每吨0.62g(不符合43-101标准),有多种扩张机会。
Angold's CEO, Mr. Adrian Rothwell, stated: "With historically long intercepts and excellent grades, a deep, intact oxide zone, as well as a total 2,210 hectares of prospective ground and new results demonstrating mineralized structures up to ~30m thick, Iron Butte continues to exhibit evidence of a large system. Excellent potential exists to increase the size of the deposit and historic resource with infill, lateral and deeper drilling."
AnGold的首席执行官Adrian Rothwell先生表示:“由于具有历史上较长的截距和优良的品位、较深、完整的氧化带,以及总计2210公顷的远景地面和新的矿化结果表明矿化结构可达约30米厚,铁帽继续显示出一个大型系统的证据。通过填充、横向和更深的钻探,存在着极大的潜力来扩大矿床的规模和历史资源。”

NEW DRILL TARGETS
新的演练目标
Geologic mapping and geophysical surveys at Iron Butte has produced a new structural understanding, resulting in numerous new drill targets.
铁巴特的地质测绘和地球物理调查产生了新的构造认识,产生了许多新的钻探目标。
Newly identified structural intersections at Iron Butte allow targeted expansion of the historic resource on the project. There is excellent potential to expand the size of the historic resource by testing areas beyond the currently defined mineralization and by completing infill holes where drilling was too widely spaced to be classified as a resource.
新确定的铁钉结构交叉口允许有针对性地扩大该项目的历史资源。有极大的潜力扩大历史资源的规模,方法是测试超出目前定义的矿化范围的区域,并完成钻探间隔太大而不能被归类为资源的填充孔。
Four target areas are being evaluated for drilling (Figure 2). First, in the Red Ridge resource area, several structural intersections and mineralized veins project below the extent of drilled mineralization and were not fully tested by the historic drilling. Second, two prominent intersection zones in the North Zone have not been drilled at depth, with many historic holes ending in mineralization. Third, the drilling gap between Red Ridge and the North Zone contains several structural intersections and deeper geophysical targets that have not been adequately drill tested. Limited drilling has been completed historically in this area. And fourth, the Northern Extension Zone offers the greatest potential for growth in near surface oxide mineralization and significant higher-grade mineralization at depth.
四正在对目标区域进行钻探评估(图2)。首先,在红岭资源区,几个构造交汇处和矿脉项目低于已钻探的矿化程度,且未经历史钻探充分测试。第二,北区两个突出的交汇区没有深入钻探,有许多历史悠久的洞以矿化告终。第三,红岭和北区之间的钻探空隙包含几个构造交叉点和更深的地球物理目标,这些目标具有没有经过充分的钻探测试。历史上,这一地区完成的钻探数量有限。第四,北部伸展带提供了最大的近地表氧化物矿化和深部显著高品位矿化的增长潜力。

OPPORTUNITIES
机遇
Angold completed an extensive surface and sub-surface program over the past year that has identified multiple opportunities to be tested by drilling. These opportunities include:
AnGold在过去的一年里完成了一个广泛的地面和地下项目,该项目确定了多个可以通过钻探进行测试的机会。这些机会包括:
covered near-surface, bulk mineable oxide potential under cover in the Northern Extension area, along with associated more structurally controlled mineralization at depth along the range front.
bulk-mineable sulfide mineralization within large and continuous resistivity anomalies at depth, some with coincident chargeability anomalies, or just chargeability anomalies, below the Golconda Thrust and within either Overlap (Cedars Sequence) or Upper Plate (Roberts Mountains Allochthon) siliceous rocks. This target zone is nearly continuous over 6 km with several high "hot spots" and represents the best potential to develop a multiple-million-ounce gold deposit.
offsetting open mineralization at Red Ridge and North Zone, especially laterally to the south and at depth at Red Ridge; at depth to the north at North Zone.
deeper high-grade vein potential at depth along several parallel and closely spaced NNW, NNE to NE striking, north to west dipping veins that display crude banding, bladed quartz after calcite, some opaline silica, and rock chip grades of 1-12 g/t Au and 20-600 g/t Ag.
deep high-grade vein potential within resistivity anomalies where they are coincident with depth projections and intersection zones of surface mineralized faults-veins.
在北部延伸区被盖层覆盖的近地表、大量可开采的氧化物潜力,以及沿山脉前缘的深部相关的更多构造控制的矿化。
在戈尔孔达逆冲冲断之下、在叠置(雪松层序)或上板块(罗伯茨山脉异型体)硅质岩中,在深部连续的大型电阻率异常中有大量可开采的硫化物矿化,其中一些具有重合的可充电性异常,或仅可充电性异常。这一目标区几乎连续超过6公里,有几个高“热点”,代表着开发数百万盎司金矿的最佳潜力。
抵消红岭和北带的露天矿化,特别是横向向南和红岭的深度;在北带的深度。
沿NNW向、NNE向至NE向平行分布的几个平行、密集的深部高品位矿脉,北向西倾,呈粗条带状,方解石后呈片状石英,部分蛋白石硅石,岩屑品位为1-12g/t Au和20-600g/t Ag。
电阻率异常内的深部高品位矿脉电位与地表矿化断层-矿脉的深度投影和交汇带重合。

GEOLOGY
地质学
Gold-silver mineralization is believed to be controlled by a series of north-south, north-northeast and east-west structures that host silicification and epithermal quartz-pyrite-gold-silver mineralization within Pennsylvanian to Permian siltstones and argillites of the Cedars Sequence (Havallah) and Oligocene felsic volcanic rocks. Mineralization is completely oxidized from surface up to 175 metres depth and continues as sulphides to depths beyond 250 metres. Mineralization is also disseminated between veins, silicified structures and brecciated zones, and can occur as silicified breccia zones at the contact between volcanic and underlying sedimentary rocks. Opaline silica, bladed quartz-chalcedony after calcite, polyphase banded quartz veins and natroalunite veins are exposed at surface, supporting the deduction the epithermal system at Iron Butte is largely intact. Surface rock chip and soil sampling assay results also support this deduction, with highly elevated mercury, selenium and arsenic present. Quartz textures, alteration and mineralogy described support a low-sulfidation epithermal model, which will be used to guide-inform future exploration efforts at Iron Butte.
金银矿化受一系列北-南、北-东北和东西向构造控制,这些构造赋存于宾夕法尼亚-二叠纪粉砂岩和雪松序列(哈瓦拉)和渐新世长英质火山岩中的硅化和低温热液石英-黄铁矿-金银矿化。矿化从地表到175米深度被完全氧化,并以硫化物的形式持续到250米以上的深度。矿化还分布在矿脉、硅化构造和角砾岩带之间,并可作为硅化角砾岩带出现在火山岩和下伏沉积岩的接触处。地表露出乳白色二氧化硅、方解石后的片状石英玉髓、多相条带状石英脉和钠长石脉,支持铁角岩低温热液系统基本完好的推断。地表岩屑和土壤采样分析结果也支持这一推论,汞、硒和砷的含量都很高。所描述的石英结构、蚀变和矿物学支持低硫化浅成热液模型,该模型将用于指导未来在Iron Butt的勘探工作。

QAQC Statement
QAQC声明
All Angold Resources' soil geochemical sample assay results are monitored by our Exploration Manager through a quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) protocol, which includes inserting blind certified reference materials (CRMs or Standards) and blanks at regular intervals, typically every 80 samples. Due to their very selective nature, rock chip samples are typically submitted alone without insertion of CRMs or blanks. Drill hole samples and pulps re-assayed have a QA/QC protocol which includes insertion of CRMs, blanks and duplicates at regular intervals, typically every 20 samples. When a failure of a CRM occurs the entire oven batch (84 samples), which includes samples before and after the CRM, is reanalyzed until returned results are within expected limits.
我们的勘探经理通过质量保证/质量控制(QA/QC)协议,定期插入盲目认证标准物质(标准物质或标准物质)和空白,通常为每80个样本,对AnGold Resources的所有土壤地球化学样本分析结果进行监控。由于其非常有选择性的性质,岩石芯片样品通常是单独提交的,没有插入标准物质或空白。重新分析的钻孔样品和纸浆具有质量保证/质量控制方案,其中包括以规则的间隔插入标准物质、空白和复制品,通常是每20个样品。当CRM发生故障时,重新分析整个烤箱批次(84个样品),包括CRM之前和之后的样品,直到返回的结果在预期范围内。
Drill core and/or reverse circulation (RC) chip samples are kept at the drill sites as drilling progresses. Core and chip trays are picked up by an Angold project geologist and transported to Elko, Nevada for logging. Sample intervals are chosen by the geologist based upon geologic observations but are generally spaced 5 feet (1.52 meters) apart, with no sample intervals less than 1 foot (0.3 meters) in length. Intervals of no recovery or sample loss are not sampled across or are excluded as much as practical. Once core is logged it is diamond sawed by an independent contractor in a secured facility, with half of the cut core being stored in a secure location and the other half being delivered to or picked up by either ALS Global or Paragon Geochemical. RC samples are split and bagged at the drill site by a driller's helper, with the samples being stored in bins at the drill site. Samples-bins are then delivered to or picked up by either ALS Global or Paragon Geochemical.
随着钻井的进行,钻芯和/或反循环(RC)芯片样品保存在钻井现场。岩芯和芯片托盘由AnGold项目的地质学家拿起,运往内华达州埃尔科进行记录。采样间隔由地质学家根据地质观察选择,但通常间隔5英尺(1.52米),采样间隔长度不得小于1英尺(0.3米)。没有恢复或样本丢失的间隔不进行抽样,或者尽可能多地排除。一旦岩芯被记录下来,就会由一家独立承包商在一个安全的设施中进行钻石锯切,切割后的岩芯中有一半被储存在一个安全的地方,另一半被交付给ALS Global或Paragon地球化公司或由其取走。在钻探现场,钻工的助手将钢筋混凝土样品分开并装袋,样品储存在钻探现场的垃圾箱中。样品箱随后被送到ALS Global或Paragon地球化公司或由其取走。
Rock, pulp, core or RC samples picked up by or delivered to ALS Global are taken to their Elko prep facility. Samples are prepped in Elko using the PREP-31 package. Samples are then shipped to Sparks for gold fire assay and Vancouver, BC for multi-element analysis. Analytical methods include gold fire assay method AuAA23 and 4-acid digestion multi-element method ME-MS61m, for 49 elements. Pulp re-assays also utilized the AgICP41 method for silver. Drill hole, rock or soil samples picked up by Paragon Geochemical in Elko are taken to their prep and assay facility in Sparks, Nevada and are prepped using the PREP-PP or PKG-SOIL packages. Analytical methods include gold fire assay method Au-AA30, which is an aqua regia digest with an AAS scan to determine gold contents. In addition, most samples are assayed for multi-element geochemical data utilizing the FSAU-25 method, which is a 51-element aqua regia digest with MS scan to determine trace element contents.
由ALS Global采集或交付给ALS Global的岩石、纸浆、岩心或RC样品被带到他们的ELKO准备设施。样品是使用PREP-31包在ELKO中准备的。然后,样品被运往斯帕克斯进行金火分析,并被运往不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华进行多元素分析。分析方法包括金火试金法AuAA23和4酸消解多元素法ME-MS61M,共测定49种元素。纸浆重新分析也使用了AgICP41方法测定银。由Elko的Paragon地球化学所采集的钻孔、岩石或土壤样本被带到其位于内华达州斯帕克斯的准备和分析设施,并使用Prep-PP或PKG-Soil包进行准备。分析方法包括金火试金法Au-AA30,这是一种王水消化法,通过AAS扫描来确定金的含量。此外,大多数样品都是利用FSAU-25方法进行多元素地球化学数据分析的,FSAU-25方法是一种51种元素的王水消解方法,用MS扫描来确定微量元素含量。
