VIT will also give visibility to ZON,they are know exploring the nugget zone at 2 or 3 km of zonte.
EXPLORATION
DUBLIN GULCH
NUGGET
Overview
At the Nugget target, the second largest Cretaceous granodiorite intrusive on the Dublin Gulch Property (second only the Dublin Gulch Stock that hosts the Eagle Gold mine), consists of a 2.2 kilometre by 1.2 kilometre, medium to coarse grained granodiorite Stock of the Cretaceous age Tombstone Plutonic Suite. The Nugget stock is hosted in the Earn group and Keno Hill Quartzite. Coincident arsenic + gold soil anomalies occur along the contact margins of the Nugget stock. This intrusive is akin to the Eagle Deposit, and has been the subject of limited historic exploration work due to the inaccessibility of the area. During the 2017 Program an approximately 5 kilometre long access trail was constructed and has, for the first time ever, allowed vehicular access to this high priority target.
Historically, a defined gold-in-soils geochemical anomaly that graded from trace up to 1.12 g/t in soils has been defined along with trench samples that graded from trace up to 5m of to 2.38 g/t Au and grab samples from trace up to 1.35 g/t Au.
A grab sample collected in 2017 from a vein uncovered during Nugget access construction consisted of primarily galena and returned values of 1,440 g/t Ag, 63.44 % Pb, 1.435 % Zn. Another 2017 grab sample from a vein consisting of primarily sulphosalts (jamesonite) returned values of 0.515 g/t Au, 82 g/t Ag 20.3% Pb, 8.34 % Sb, and 4.2 % As. Lastly, a 2017 grab sample from an historic trench on the Nugget stock returned 0.202 g/t Au, 3.7 g/t Ag and 1.3 % As.
Highlighted results from NG18-006C include:
101.5m of 0.57 g/t Au from 3.4 m
47.6m of 0.99 g/t Au from 24.4m
33.0m of 1.03 g/t Au from 61.8m
Including 10.1m of 2.79 g/t Au from 61.8m
Mineralization encountered thus far consists of polymetallic veins occurring within the host rocks peripheral to the Nugget stock as well as disseminated arsenopyrite within in the granodiorite.
