Tarku Confirms the Presence of a Strong Gold-Bearing Orogenic System Over a 3 Km Strike Length on Apollo
- First-ever drilling program on Apollo successful in identifying a strong gold-bearing orogenic system along the Sunday Lake Fault similar to the Detour Lake Mine
- Drilling hit wide gold intervals covering an interpreted 3-km strike length
- Hole AP-22-07 intersected four gold-bearing structures over 10 metres wide between 300 and 550 m depth, including 46.9 m at 0.33 g/t Au, 11.27 m at 0.46 g/t Au, 20.48 m at 0.23 g/t Au and 14.0 m at 0.37 g/t Au, with mineralization at the end of the hole
- All structures remain open along strike and at depth, with the property hosting abundant dykes and an intrusive stock with alkaline compositions
- 阿波羅首次鑽探計劃成功識別出與德圖湖礦相似的週日湖斷層沿線的強含金造山系統
- 鑽井擊中了覆蓋解釋的3公里走向長度的寬金段
- AP-22-07孔在300-550m深度之間交叉了4個10米寬的含金構造，其中0.33g/t Au為46.9m，0.46g/t Au為11.27m，0.23g/t Au為20.48m，0.37g/t Au為14.0m，礦化位於孔底
- 所有構造沿走向和深度保持開放，該物業擁有豐富的巖脈和具有鹼性成分的侵入性股票。
MONTREAL, QC / ACCESSWIRE / April 4, 2023 / Tarku Resources Ltd (TSXV:TKU)(FRA:7TK)(OTCQB:TRKUF) (the "Company" or "Tarku") is pleased to confirm the presence of a strong gold-bearing orogenic system identified over a 3-km strike length during its 2022 drilling campaign on its Apollo project. One of the "3As", which comprise a total of 217 claims covering about 130 square kilometres, Apollo is wholly owned by Tarku and straddles 20 km of the Sunday Lake Fault, host of the Detour Lake Mine.
蒙特利爾，QC/ACCESSWIRE/2023年4月4日/塔庫資源有限公司(TSXV：TKU)(法蘭克福：7TK)(場外市場：TRKUF)(“公司”或“Tarku”)高興地確認，在其阿波羅專案的2022年鑽探活動中，發現了一個超過3公里走向長度的強大含金造山系統的存在。作為“3A”之一，阿波羅由塔爾庫全資擁有，橫跨迪圖湖礦場所在的週日湖斷層20公里，共有217項主張，佔地約130平方公里。
Julien Davy, President and CEO of Tarku Resources, said: "This first drilling program on Apollo was a true success, as wide altered gold-bearing structures were intersected on four of six target areas, enabling us to confirm the presence of an orogenic system with similar characteristics to the Detour Lake mine system. The discovery hole AP-22-07, drilled on the edge of a magnetic high, is of particular interest as it intersected four significant structures, each more than 10 metres wide. The extensive alterations observed and the long, continuous gold intersections relating to a regional deformation zone associated with syenite intrusions are features of the type of deposit Tarku is looking for. Now that we know we have a gold-bearing system on Apollo, we will do more drilling in that area to confirm its potential both along strike and at depth. Our next drilling program will also focus on confirming the continuity of the gold-bearing structures identified thus far."
塔庫資源首席執行官兼首席執行官總裁表示：阿波羅上的第一次鑽探計劃取得了真正的成功，因為在六個目標區域中的四個區域上，廣泛的蝕變含金構造相交，使我們能夠確認存在一個與迪圖爾湖採礦系統具有相似特徵的造山系統。在磁高邊緣鑽出的AP-22-07洞特別令人感興趣，因為它與四個重要的結構相交，每個結構都超過10米寬。所觀察到的廣泛的蝕變和與正長巖侵入有關的區域變形帶有關的長而連續的金礦交叉點，是塔爾庫正在尋找的礦床類型的特徵。現在我們知道我們在阿波羅上有一個含金系統，我們將在該地區進行更多的鑽探，以確認其沿走向和深度的潛力。我們的下一個鑽探計劃還將側重於確認迄今已確定的含金構造的連續性。
First drilling program on the Apollo project
阿波羅專案的第一個鑽探計劃
In December 2022, Tarku carried out an initial drilling program on its Apollo project, consisting of 3,048 m in eight holes on a 4-km-wide priority area along the Sunday Lake Deformation Zone, where no prior exploration for gold had ever been reported. The targeted zones corresponded to magnetic and induced polarization anomalies between surface and 577 m depth. Visual inspection of the core reveals intensive hydrothermal alteration similar in style to orogenic gold deposits, as well as magmatic alteration, including hematization, carbonatization and sericitization.
2022年12月，Tarku對其阿波羅專案進行了初步鑽探計劃，該專案包括在週日湖變形帶沿線4公里寬的優先區域的8個洞中3,048米，該地區之前從未報告過金礦勘探。目標區對應於地表和577米深度之間的磁異常和激發極化異常。對巖芯的目視觀察顯示，與造山型金礦床風格相似的強烈熱液蝕變作用，以及包括紅化、碳酸鹽化和絹雲母在內的巖漿蝕變。
The results (table 1) reveal several >10 m sections of anomalous gold-bearing rock associated with very finely disseminated cubic pyrite within pervasive silicification and/or quartz stockwerk systems.
結果(表1)揭示了幾個>10m的異常含金巖剖面，與普遍存在的矽化和/或石英岩漿系統中非常細小的浸染立方米黃鐵礦共生。

Similar orogenic gold deposit model to the Detour Lake mine
與德圖湖金礦相似的造山型金礦床模式
The regional Rivière Waswanipi shear zone is the eastern extension of the Sunday Lake Fault, which hosts the >20 million ounces Detour Lake gold mine and the Kirkland Lake mining camp, which has produced over 50 million ounces of gold. Similar to the Sunday Lake Fault, the Rivière Waswanipi shear zone is characterized by the presence of alkaline rocks, polygenic conglomerates (Timiskaming-type) and porphyry intrusions bearing anomalous gold values on the order of hundreds of parts per billion (GM 52712).
區域RivièRe Waswanipi剪切帶是週日湖斷層的東部延伸，這裡有超過2000萬盎司的迪圖湖金礦和柯克蘭湖採礦營地，後者已生產了5000多萬盎司黃金。與週日湖斷層相似，RivièRe Waswanipi剪切帶的特徵是存在鹼性巖石、多成因礫巖(Timiskaming型)和斑岩侵入體，其異常金值約為百萬分之幾百(GM 52712)。
The 3As projects were acquired in 2016, as Tarku staked open ground, based on a detailed data compilation exercise in the region. This process also took into account the historical zinc mining district of Matagami (4.6 million tonnes Zn and 0.494 million tonnes Cu from 1960 to 2004) and especially, the overlooked potential for gold mineralization.
這些3A專案是在2016年收購的，當時塔爾庫在該地區進行了詳細的數據匯編工作，開闢了道路。這一進程還考慮到了歷史上的鋅礦區Matagami(1960年至2004年，鋅460萬噸，銅49.4萬噸)，特別是被忽視的金礦成礦潛力。
After Tarku acquired the properties, it carried out a till sampling program. Statistical analysis revealed three different populations within the gold assay results, given 93% gold background of values between 0.25 g/t and 0.35 g/t Au. Several mineralogical characteristics were also found as the geochemical signature of the gold-bearing zones that correlate with Te (0.86), Ag (0.80) and Mo (0.76).
在Tarku獲得這些財產後，它進行了一項收銀機抽樣計劃。統計分析揭示了三個不同人群的黃金測定結果，給出了93%的黃金本底值在0.25g/t和0.35g/t之間。還發現了與Te(0.86)、Ag(0.80)和Mo(0.76)相關的含金帶的幾個礦物學特徵。
Along the same regional structure, other explorers, such as Maple Gold, Balmoral and Midland Exploration, have returned exciting drill results and demonstrated the strong gold potential of the area.
沿著相同的區域結構，其他勘探者，如楓葉黃金公司、巴爾莫勒爾公司和米德蘭勘探公司，都取得了令人興奮的鑽探結果，並展示了該地區強大的金礦潛力。
Drilling sampling method and QA/QC
鑽井取樣方法與QA/QC
Diamond drilling was done by Forages Rouillier of Amos, Quebec. All the NQ-size core is recovered by the drillers, sent to the Matagami core shack and logged by the geologists. Samples generally vary from 0.5 m to 1.5 m depending on the geological environment. Sample preparation is then done by Service MNG, where the drill core is sawed in half, with one half used for chemical analysis and the other half for control purposes.
鑽石鑽探是由魁北克省阿莫斯市的福吉斯·魯裡耶完成的。所有NQ大小的岩心都由鑽探人員回收，送到鬆上岩心小屋，並由地質學家記錄下來。根據地質環境的不同，樣品一般從0.5米到1.5米不等。然後由Service MNG進行樣品準備，將鑽芯鋸成兩半，一半用於化學分析，另一半用於控制目的。
All samples are sent to the Actlab Laboratory in Val-d'Or, Quebec, for analysis. Each sample is dried and crushed to 80% passing -2mm (10 mesh) and 300 g are taken to be pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns (200 mesh). Gold analysis (TMT-G5B method) is performed by fire assay on 50 g samples with an atomic absorption finish. Samples exceeding the detection limit of 3,000 ppb are reanalyzed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish. The sample is then treated by four-acid digestion and analyzed by ICP-MS for 60 elements, including silver (Ag), copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn).
所有樣本都被送往魁北克省Val-d‘Or的Actlab實驗室進行分析。每個樣品被幹燥並粉碎到80%通過-2 mm(10目)和300g被粉碎到85%通過75微米(200目)。金的分析(TMT-G5B方法)是用原子吸收光譜分析50克樣品的火試金。超過3,000 ppb的檢測下限的樣品用重量法完成火試樣再分析。樣品經四酸消解後，用電感耦合等離子體質譜分析銀、銅、鉛、鋅等60種元素。
Quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) includes the use of duplicates representing one quarter (1/4) of the drill core, blank samples and material certified for Au, Ag and Cu. QA/QC additions to the sample stream total an additional 10% of samples analysed.
品質保證/質量控制(QA/QC)包括使用代表四分之一(1/4)鑽芯的複製品、空白樣品和經Au、Ag和Cu認證的材料。添加到樣品流中的QA/QC總數佔所分析樣品的10%。
A total of 2,178 samples were taken and analysed for gold and the 60 elements and 14 samples were analysed for lithogeochemistry.
共採集了2,178個樣品進行了金的分析，並對其中60個元素和14個樣品進行了岩石地球化學分析。
