Kalo Gold 發現了未經測試的 Vunisea 斷層——瓦圖奧魯姆金礦項目 Qiriyaga Hill 礦牀的潛在金源區
Accesswire ·  02/26 22:00

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 26, 2024 / KALO GOLD CORP. ("Kalo", "Kalo Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, based on the results of recent compilation work, the gold mineralization of the Qiriyaga Hill Deposit is located between two interpreted volcanic centres and sits immediately east of the newly interpreted Vunisea Fault (Figure 1). The Vunisea Fault is associated with a >1,200 metre ("m") north-northeast trending untested soil anomaly (Figure 2). The Vunisea Fault potentially acted as a metal-bearing epithermal fluid conduit or "feeder zone" that then spread laterally to the east into layers of porous tuffs, volcanic breccias and limestone layers, thereby creating the Qiriyaga Hill Deposit. Historically, drilling at Qiriyaga Hill was solely focused on the development of a shallow open pit gold mining operation over approximately a 400m strike length and therefore the deepest hole drilled to date has a vertical depth of only 150m. No drilling has been undertaken to explore the potential "feeder zone" of the Qiriyaga Hill Deposit. Given that the Qiriyaga Hill Deposit and the Vuinubu Ridge Trend (see news release dated 15 February 2024) both represents the distal or top of two precious metal epithermal systems respectively (Figure 6) it is estimated that drilling within 400m of the surface, targeting the Vunisea Fault related "feeder zone" will be a priority for the next phase of exploration work.

不列顛哥倫比亞省溫哥華/ACCESSWIRE/2024 年 2 月 26 日/KALO GOLD CORP.(“Kalo”、“Kalo Gold” 或 “公司”)很高興地宣佈,根據最近的彙編工作結果,Qiriyaga Hill礦牀的金礦化位於兩個解釋後的火山中心之間,位於新解釋的Vunisea斷層以東(圖1)。Vunisea 斷層與東北偏北 >1,200 米(“m”)的未經測試的土壤異常趨勢有關(圖 2)。Vunisea斷層有可能充當含金屬的超熱流體管道或 “饋線”,然後橫向向東擴散成多孔凝灰岩、火山角礫岩和石灰岩層,從而形成奇里亞加山礦牀。歷史上,Qiriyaga Hill的鑽探僅專注於開發淺層露天金礦開採作業,走向長度約爲400米,因此迄今爲止鑽探的最深孔的垂直深度僅爲150米。尚未進行任何鑽探來勘探奇里亞加山礦牀的潛在 “支線區”。鑑於Qiriyaga山礦牀和Vuinubu山脊趨勢(見2024年2月15日的新聞稿)分別代表兩個貴金屬超熱系統的遠端或頂部(圖6),據估計,在距離地表400米以內進行鑽探,目標是伏尼西亞斷層相關的 “支線區”,將是下一階段勘探工作的優先事項。

Terry L. Tucker, Kalo Gold President and CEO stated, "The compilation work by the professional team at SGDS Hive, in particular Andy (Andrew) Randell, P.Geo., has focused on developing a clear understanding of the geology of Vatu Aurum by integrating and interpreting all of the recent as well as historical data including: geochemical, geophysical, trench, drill hole and surface mapping information. This work has led to the delineation of high priority epithermal gold targets within the Qiriyaga Hill Prospect. These targets will be the focus of the 2024 exploration program. This will include trenching, mapping, sampling, and diamond core drilling along the >1,200m long Vunisea Fault and along the Vuinubu Ridge Trend, where a >1,900m northeast-trending high priority epithermal gold target is located along the deep-seated Nubu Graben Fault that has also been identified. Ongoing compilation work will be summarised in further news releases on an ongoing basis."

Kalo Gold 總裁兼首席執行官特里·塔克表示, “SGDS Hive專業團隊,尤其是P.Geo. 的安迪(安德魯)蘭德爾,其彙編工作重點是通過整合和解釋所有最近和歷史數據,包括:地球化學、地球物理、溝槽、鑽孔和地表測繪信息,對瓦圖奧魯姆的地質情況有一個清晰的了解。這項工作促成了Qiriyaga Hill勘探區內高優先級的超成熱黃金目標的劃定。這些目標將成爲2024年勘探計劃的重點。這將包括沿着超過1200米長的Vunisea斷層和Vuinubu山脊趨勢沿線進行挖溝、測繪、取樣和鑽石岩心鑽探,那裏的東北方向>1900米的高優先級超熱液金目標位於深層努布格拉本斷層沿線,該斷層也已確定。正在進行的彙編工作將在未來的新聞稿中持續進行總結。”

Soil geochemistry highlights the Vunisea Fault as it is associated with both anomalous "volatile elements" (As, Mo, Sb, Hg and Tl), which indicates that gold mineralization may exist at shallow depths and anomalous "boiling elements" (Au, Ag, Te and Pb), which usually mark the top of the precious metal horizon (Figure 2). Historical trenching at Qiriyaga North has returned excellent results (Table 1 and Figure 3) and appear to be associated with the southern extent of the Vunisea Fault which extends >1,200m to the north. In addition, trenching from Qiriyaga East and 500m northeast to Vunikulu has also returned excellent results (Table 1). These targets have not been drill tested. Historical trenching at Qiriyaga Hill, which has been drill tested to a maximum of 150m vertical depth, has returned several significant surface trench results (Figure 3).

土壤地球化學強調了Vunisea斷層,因爲它與異常 “揮發性元素”(砷、鉬、銻、汞和錫)有關,這表明金礦化可能存在於淺水深處,也存在異常 “沸騰元素”(金、銀、鐵和鉛),後者通常標誌着貴金屬地平線的頂部(圖2)。北齊里亞加的歷史性挖溝取得了優異的結果(表1和圖3),似乎與向北延伸超過1200米的伏尼西亞斷層南部有關。此外,從奇里亞加東部和向東北500米到武尼庫魯的挖溝也取得了優異的成績(表1)。這些目標尚未經過鑽探測試。Qiriyaga Hill 的歷史挖溝經過鑽探測試,最大垂直深度爲 150 米,返回了幾項重要的地表溝槽結果(圖 3)。

表 1-齊裏雅加山、北齊里亞加、東奇里亞加和武尼庫魯海溝結果

The new interpretation of both geology and structure, when overlain with the results of the Controlled-Source Audio-frequency Magnetotellurics ("CSAMT") survey, have identified a high resistivity zone immediately west of the Qiriyaga Hill Deposit that is interpreted to be associated with an upwelling or feeder zone that has not yet been drill tested and is located along the Vunisea Fault (Figure 4 and 5). It is estimated that drilling within 300 to 400m of the surface, targeting the main CSAMT interpreted "upwelling zone" which underlies the Vunisea Fault is a priority for the next phase of exploration work and drilling. The geological model developed for this target (Figure 6) indicates that drilling to date has focussed on mineralization found laterally from a yet to be discovered gold feeder zone.

對地質學和結構的新解釋與受控源音頻大地電磁測量(“CSAMT”)的調查結果重疊後,確定了奇里亞加山礦牀以西的高電阻率區域,該區域被解釋爲與尚未經過鑽探測試且位於武尼薩斷層沿線的上升流或饋線區有關(圖4和5)。據估計,在地表 300 至 400 米範圍內鑽探,瞄準主要 CSAMT 解釋的 “上升區”,即伏尼西亞斷層下方,是下一階段勘探工作和鑽探的優先事項。爲該目標開發的地質模型(圖 6)表明,迄今爲止,鑽探的重點是從尚未發現的金源區橫向發現的礦化。

The Company continues the compilation work with a focus on structure and geology to further identify additional epithermal gold targets. With the work that has been completed to date the Company has formulated a detailed trenching, mapping, sampling and drill core relogging program that would be followed up by a diamond drilling program for the Qiriyaga Hill Prospect which would include all the targets discussed in this news release and the new release dated 15 February 2024.

該公司繼續以結構和地質爲重點的彙編工作,以進一步確定其他超熱液金目標。根據迄今爲止已完成的工作,該公司制定了詳細的挖溝、測繪、取樣和鑽芯重新記錄計劃,隨後將爲Qiriyaga Hill Prospect制定鑽石鑽探計劃,其中包括本新聞稿和2024年2月15日新發布的消息中討論的所有目標。

REFERENCED GEOSPATIAL DATA, SAMPLING AND LABORATORY

參考的地理空間數據、採樣和實驗室

All rock and drill core samples collected by the Company since 2023 have been sent to Australian Laboratory Services Pty. Ltd. in Brisbane, Australia for sample preparation and analysis. Upon receipt at the lab, all samples were dried in an oven at a temperature of 80°C (DRY-24), coarse crushed (CRU-21) and then pulverised to 85% passing 75 microns (PUL-23). The preparation has a very low likelihood of producing inadequate or non-representative samples. Gold grades are obtained by method code Au-AA24 which is a 50-gram fire assay with an AA finish and detection range of 0.005 to 10ppm gold. Samples which return greater than 10.0 parts per million gold are resubmitted with method code Au-AA26 which is a 50-gram fire assay with an AA finish and detection range of 0.01 to 100 ppm gold. The fire assay analysis is considered a total analysis for gold. Additional analyses for 48 other elements were carried out using a 4-acid digestion and ICP-MS finish under the method code ME-MS61m including trace Hg by ICP-MS (Hg-MS42). Quality control procedures are followed for all samples submitted to the laboratory for assay, including strict chain of custody protocols. Quality control comprises OREAS standards, blank materials and field or preparation duplicate material for testing. Insertion rate is at a minimum of one quality control sample per shipment but in sections of mineralized drill core a standard is inserted at the beginning of the section to establish calibration, a duplicate in the middle of the sequence to test repeatability (for field duplicates) or homogeneity (for preparation duplicates). Mineralized sections are then completed with the insertion of blank material to ensure equipment has been cleaned rigorously and no "smearing" or contamination of grade occurs. Quality control is monitored on each assay certificate as it arrives from the laboratory and then all data is compiled annually. Any discrepancies are immediately addressed accordingly.
