Angold Commences Drill Program, Outlines Targets at Iron Butte, Nevada
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.
温哥華,不列顛哥倫比亞省-(Newsfile Corp.-2022年4月19日)-安金資源有限公司 (多倫多證券交易所:AAU)(證券交易所:13L)(OTCQB:AAUGF) ("安金“或”公司“)很高興地宣佈,它已經開始為即將在內華達州鐵巴特的鑽探計劃做準備工作。
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.
鑽探目標是2021年完成的詳細重合地表採樣、歷史鑽探、測繪和地球物理異常的結果。計劃鑽探的目標將是新劃定的北部延伸帶中符合的地球化學-地球物理異常,紅脊和北區礦化的橫向和深度延伸,以及Golconda逆衝斷層下部板塊的目標,包括解釋的構造和浸染性目標。
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.
有了這些新的見解,公司沿着靶場前線擴大了新的演習目標,沿着從紅山區到北部延伸區的超過6公里的打擊。該公司正在準備襯墊和道路工程,以便即將開始鑽探。
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.
一期鑽探將由5個孔組成,總長2926米,勘探成功後可能擴大到9個孔,總長5502米。
Key Highlights
主要亮點
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.
多個目標:包括北部延伸區以及歷史資源區北部和南部走向的露天礦化。鑽探的重點是擴大已知的礦化帶。
Higher Grade: near paleosurface (shallow) level of exposure within the epithermal system and potential for higher grade gold mineralization at depth.
較高年級:近古地表(淺)的淺表熱液系統內的暴露水平和深部較高品位金礦化的潛力。
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.
大型礦化罷工:全長約>6公里,沿本公司聲稱的整個山脈前緣有一致的金礦化。
Geophysics: has identified shallow structures in the Northern Area Extension as well as at depth in the historic resource area.
地球物理學:確定了北部地區延伸區的淺層構造以及歷史資源區的深層構造。
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.
地球化學:Au-Ag-Hg-Se-As重合異常在已知礦化以北延伸1.2公里,此時異常巖石被相對較淺的地表礫石覆蓋。
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.
歷史資源:Iron Butte擁有606,186盎司Au的歷史資源,每噸0.62g(不符合43-101標準),有多種擴張機會。
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的首席執行官Adrian Rothwell先生表示:“由於具有歷史上較長的截距和優良的品位、較深、完整的氧化帶,以及總計2210公頃的遠景地面和新的礦化結果表明礦化結構可達約30米厚,鐵帽繼續顯示出一個大型系統的證據。通過填充、橫向和更深的鑽探,存在着極大的潛力來擴大礦牀的規模和歷史資源。”

NEW DRILL TARGETS
新的演練目標
Geologic mapping and geophysical surveys at Iron Butte has produced a new structural understanding, resulting in numerous new drill targets.
鐵巴特的地質測繪和地球物理調查產生了新的構造認識,產生了許多新的鑽探目標。
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.
新確定的鐵釘結構交叉口允許有針對性地擴大該項目的歷史資源。有極大的潛力擴大歷史資源的規模,方法是測試超出目前定義的礦化範圍的區域,並完成鑽探間隔太大而不能被歸類為資源的填充孔。
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.
四正在對目標區域進行鑽探評估(圖2)。首先,在紅嶺資源區,幾個構造交匯處和礦脈項目低於已鑽探的礦化程度,且未經歷史鑽探充分測試。第二,北區兩個突出的交匯區沒有深入鑽探,有許多歷史悠久的洞以礦化告終。第三,紅嶺和北區之間的鑽探空隙包含幾個構造交叉點和更深的地球物理目標,這些目標具有沒有經過充分的鑽探測試。歷史上,這一地區完成的鑽探數量有限。第四,北部伸展帶提供了最大的近地表氧化物礦化和深部顯著高品位礦化的增長潛力。

OPPORTUNITIES
機遇
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在過去的一年裏完成了一個廣泛的地面和地下項目,該項目確定了多個可以通過鑽探進行測試的機會。這些機會包括:
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.
在北部延伸區被蓋層覆蓋的近地表、大量可開採的氧化物潛力,以及沿山脈前緣的深部相關的更多構造控制的礦化。
在戈爾孔達逆沖沖斷之下、在疊置(雪松層序)或上板塊(羅伯茨山脈異型體)硅質巖中,在深部連續的大型電阻率異常中有大量可開採的硫化物礦化,其中一些具有重合的可充電性異常,或僅可充電性異常。這一目標區幾乎連續超過6公里,有幾個高“熱點”,代表着開發數百萬盎司金礦的最佳潛力。
抵消紅嶺和北帶的露天礦化,特別是橫向向南和紅嶺的深度;在北帶的深度。
沿NNW向、NNE向至NE向平行分佈的幾個平行、密集的深部高品位礦脈,北向西傾,呈粗條帶狀,方解石後呈片狀石英,部分蛋白石硅石,巖屑品位為1-12g/t Au和20-600g/t Ag。
電阻率異常內的深部高品位礦脈電位與地表礦化斷層-礦脈的深度投影和交匯帶重合。

GEOLOGY
地質學
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.
金銀礦化受一系列北-南、北-東北和東西向構造控制,這些構造賦存於賓夕法尼亞-二疊紀粉砂巖和雪松序列(哈瓦拉)和漸新世長英質火山巖中的硅化和低温熱液石英-黃鐵礦-金銀礦化。礦化從地表到175米深度被完全氧化,並以硫化物的形式持續到250米以上的深度。礦化還分佈在礦脈、硅化構造和角礫巖帶之間,並可作為硅化角礫巖帶出現在火山巖和下伏沉積巖的接觸處。地表露出乳白色二氧化硅、方解石後的片狀石英玉髓、多相條帶狀石英脈和鈉長石脈,支持鐵角巖低温熱液系統基本完好的推斷。地表巖屑和土壤採樣分析結果也支持這一推論,汞、硒和砷的含量都很高。所描述的石英結構、蝕變和礦物學支持低硫化淺成熱液模型,該模型將用於指導未來在Iron Butt的勘探工作。

QAQC Statement
QAQC聲明
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.
我們的勘探經理通過質量保證/質量控制(QA/QC)協議,定期插入盲目認證標準物質(標準物質或標準物質)和空白,通常為每80個樣本,對AnGold Resources的所有土壤地球化學樣本分析結果進行監控。由於其非常有選擇性的性質,巖石芯片樣品通常是單獨提交的,沒有插入標準物質或空白。重新分析的鑽孔樣品和紙漿具有質量保證/質量控制方案,其中包括以規則的間隔插入標準物質、空白和複製品,通常是每20個樣品。當CRM發生故障時,重新分析整個烤箱批次(84個樣品),包括CRM之前和之後的樣品,直到返回的結果在預期範圍內。
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.
隨着鑽井的進行,鑽芯和/或反循環(RC)芯片樣品保存在鑽井現場。巖芯和芯片託盤由AnGold項目的地質學家拿起,運往內華達州埃爾科進行記錄。採樣間隔由地質學家根據地質觀察選擇,但通常間隔5英尺(1.52米),採樣間隔長度不得小於1英尺(0.3米)。沒有恢復或樣本丟失的間隔不進行抽樣,或者儘可能多地排除。一旦巖芯被記錄下來,就會由一家獨立承包商在一個安全的設施中進行鑽石鋸切,切割後的巖芯中有一半被儲存在一個安全的地方,另一半被交付給ALS Global或Paragon地球化公司或由其取走。在鑽探現場,鑽工的助手將鋼筋混凝土樣品分開並裝袋,樣品儲存在鑽探現場的垃圾箱中。樣品箱隨後被送到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採集或交付給ALS Global的巖石、紙漿、巖心或RC樣品被帶到他們的ELKO準備設施。樣品是使用PREP-31包在ELKO中準備的。然後,樣品被運往斯帕克斯進行金火分析,並被運往不列顛哥倫比亞省温哥華進行多元素分析。分析方法包括金火試金法AuAA23和4酸消解多元素法ME-MS61M,共測定49種元素。紙漿重新分析也使用了AgICP41方法測定銀。由Elko的Paragon地球化學所採集的鑽孔、巖石或土壤樣本被帶到其位於內華達州斯帕克斯的準備和分析設施,並使用Prep-PP或PKG-Soil包進行準備。分析方法包括金火試金法Au-AA30,這是一種王水消化法,通過AAS掃描來確定金的含量。此外,大多數樣品都是利用FSAU-25方法進行多元素地球化學數據分析的,FSAU-25方法是一種51種元素的王水消解方法,用MS掃描來確定微量元素含量。
