XAU Resources Inc. Announces Positive Results From Stream Sampling on Noseno Property, Guyana
XAU Resources Inc. Announces Positive Results From Stream Sampling on Noseno Property, Guyana
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 12, 2023) - XAU Resources Inc. (TSXV: GIG) ("XAU" or the "Corporation"), is pleased to announce that it has received positive results from the bulk leach extractable gold (BLEG) stream sediments sampling program conducted on its Noseno property in northwest Guyana. The sampling program was successful in highlighting several areas with significant gold anomalism corresponding to favourable geology which warrants follow up exploration (Figure 1).
安大略省多倫多--(Newsfile Corp. ——2023 年 4 月 12 日)— XAU Resources Inc.(多倫多證券交易所股票代碼:GIG)(XAU“或者”公司“),很高興地宣佈,在其位於圭亞那西北部的諾塞諾礦產上進行的散裝浸出可開採金(BLEG)溪流沉積物採樣計劃已獲得積極結果。採樣計劃成功地發現了幾個存在明顯金異常的區域,這些區域與有利的地質條件相對應,值得進行後續勘探(圖 1)。
Results Highlights
業績亮點
The field sampling team collected 142 samples from early fall through to December of which 9 samples (95th percentile) returned BLEG values greater than 60ppb up to a high of 141ppb gold, and 27 samples (80th percentile) returned values greater than 45ppb gold. (Figure 1).
實地抽樣小組從初秋到12月收集了142個樣本,其中9個樣本(第95個百分位)返回的BLEG值大於60ppb,最高爲141ppb,27個樣本(第80個百分位)的返回值大於45ppb的黃金。(圖 1)。
"We are pleased with the encouraging results of our BLEG program as the anomalous samples confirm geologically prospective areas (target areas 1 to 3). We look forward to continuing our sampling in the southeast and southwest corners of the Noseno property as well as first-pass soil sampling over the most prospective target areas identified by the recent BLEG program in our next exploration campaign," stated Peter Hambro, Chairman of XAU Resources.
“我們對BLEG計劃的令人鼓舞的結果感到滿意,因爲異常樣本證實了地質前景區域(目標區域1至3)。我們期待繼續在諾塞諾礦業的東南角和西南角進行採樣,並在下一次勘探活動中對最近的BLEG計劃確定的最具前景的目標區域進行首次土壤採樣。” XAU Resources董事長彼得·漢布羅說。
XAU BLEG Stream Sediment Sampling Program
XAU BLEG 溪流沉積物採樣計劃
The program's goal was to obtain stream sediment samples from stream drainage channels across the Noseno property as a first-pass assessment of the geological potential of the property to host significant gold mineralization. The survey method chosen, the "bulk leach extractable gold" also known as "BLEG"- style of stream sediment sampling and analysis was selected because the method is an extremely sensitive gold detection technique that can detect gold values down to one part per billion and can distinguish traces of gold in stream sediments up to 10 kilometres downstream of mineralization. Subsamples were also submitted for ICP multi-element analysis to determine enrichment in other economic and pathfinder elements potentially associated with gold. The results and methodologies are explained below.
該項目的目標是從Noseno礦產的溪流排水渠中獲取溪流沉積物樣本,以此作爲對該物業承載大量金礦化的地質潛力的首次評估。所選擇的調查方法,即 “散裝浸出可提取的黃金”,也稱爲 “BLEG”,之所以選擇溪流沉積物採樣和分析,是因爲該方法是一種極其靈敏的金探測技術,可以探測到低至十億分之一的金值,並且可以區分礦化下游10公里以內的溪流沉積物中的金痕跡。還提交了子樣本進行國際比較方案多元素分析,以確定可能與黃金相關的其他經濟元素和開拓者元素的富集度。結果和方法解釋如下。
Results
結果
The anomalous sample results are clustered in several parts of the property validating perceived areas of geological prospectivity (Figure 2). The strongest anomalism occurs in the northeast part of the property (target area 1), along the interpreted strike of the Noseno prospect where previous explorers Riva Gold Corporation conducted a limited diamond drilling program (2010) that returned up to 1.63 metres of 98.89 g/t Au (uncut), including 0.5 metres of 273.69 g/t Au1 from quartz veining in sheared, altered amphibolite. No formal exploration on or near the Noseno property has been undertaken since then.
異常樣本結果聚集在物業的多個部分中,以驗證感知的地質勘探區域(圖 2)。最強烈的異常現象出現在該物業的東北部(目標區域1),沿着諾塞諾勘探區解釋的撞擊點,以前的探險家麗娃黃金公司在那裏進行了一項有限的鑽石鑽探計劃(2010年),該計劃返回了高達1.63米的98.89克/噸金(未切割),包括從剪切變質的閃石石中提取的0.5米的273.69克/噸Au1。此後,沒有對Noseno財產或其附近進行過任何正式勘探。

Target area 2 is second highest in gold tenor occurring over the central part of the property where a smaller granitoid has intruded the middle of the Noseno district greenstone rocks. Target area 3 sits on the southeastern flank of the property along an approximately north-south trending granite contact, and target area 4 is situated in the northwestern corner of the property over volcano-sedimentary rocks.
目標區域 2 是金質期第二高的區域,位於該物業的中心部分,那裏有一塊較小的花崗岩侵入了諾塞諾地區綠巖的中部。目標區域 3 位於該物業的東南側,沿着一條近似南北走向的花崗岩接觸點沿線,目標區域 4 位於該物業的西北角,位於火山沉積岩上方。
Geological observations made during the sampling program noted outcrops of mafic, andesitic, and porphyritic volcanics, intermediate to felsic volcanics, arenites, siltstones and mudstones plus granite, diorite, gabbro and feldspar porphyry; a diverse assemblage of geology. Shearing and quartz veining was also locally observed, as were large extents of presently inactive historical alluvial workings up to several kilometers long. Prospecting yielded 19 rock chip samples as the focus of the field teams was to complete the stream sediment sampling program before Christmas. Rock chip sample assays returned weakly anomalous gold with one sample from quartz rubble at an artisanal site returning a value of 99ppb gold.
在採樣計劃期間進行的地質觀測表明,鎂鐵質火山、安山岩和斑岩火山岩露頭,中間爲長英質火山岩、砂岩和泥岩以及花崗岩、閃長巖、輝長岩和長石斑岩;地質構造多種多樣。當地還觀測到剪切和石英脈紋,以及長達幾千米的大片目前處於非活動狀態的歷史沖積層運作。勘探工作產生了19個岩屑樣本,因爲實地小組的重點是在聖誕節前完成溪流沉積物採樣計劃。岩屑樣本化驗返回了弱異常的黃金,其中一個來自手工場所的石英廢墟樣本返回了價值99ppb的黃金。
The results of the ICP multi-element analysis of the stream sediment samples did not return significant anomalism in other elements and the correlations between gold and typical orogenic-gold pathfinder elements was weak.
ICP對溪流沉積物樣本的多元素分析結果沒有返回出其他元素的明顯異常現象,金與典型的造山金探路者元素之間的相關性很弱。
The Noseno stream sediment sample gold anomalism coincident with areas of interpreted geological prospectivity is encouraging such that future work programs will include first-pass soil sampling over the most prospective target areas 1 through 3. In addition, the southwest and southeast areas that were not accessed will be sampled during the next program.
Noseno溪流沉積物樣本金異常現象與已解釋的地質勘探區域重合,這令人鼓舞,因此未來的工作計劃將包括對最具前景的目標區域1至3進行首次土壤採樣。此外,在下一個項目中,將對未進入的西南和東南部地區進行抽樣。
Sampling and Analytical Methodology, QA/QC
抽樣和分析方法,質量保證/質量控制
The stream sediment sampling program at Noseno utilized a "BLEG"-style sampling and analytical method. Very fine stream sediments were sampled from the quieter sections of active stream channels and coarse-sieved on site with a 12-mesh screen.
Noseno的溪流沉積物採樣計劃使用了 “BLEG” 式的採樣和分析方法。從活躍河道中較爲安靜的部分採樣了非常細的河流沉積物,並使用12目篩網在現場進行了粗篩。
The samples were bagged and kept secure in the Noseno camp until the end of the program, and from there the samples were securely transported under XAU Resources staff supervision by ATV and truck to Port Kaituma and then shipped to Georgetown. Samples were submitted to Actlabs in Georgetown for BLEG (bulk leach extractable gold) analysis.
在項目結束之前,樣本被裝袋並安全地保存在諾塞諾營地,樣本在XAU Resources工作人員的監督下由全地形車和卡車安全地運送到凱圖馬港,然後運往喬治敦。樣本已提交給喬治敦的Actlabs進行BLEG(散裝浸出可提取黃金)分析。
Actlabs is an ISO9001-2015 certified laboratory. At Actlabs the stream sediment samples were dried, sieved, crushed and pulverized to 95% passing 105 μm, and a 1kg split was bottle-rolled in cyanide solution for 24 hours with the gold concentration of the solution measured by AA (atomic absorption) with a lower detection limit of 3 ppb Au.
Actlabs 是一家經過 ISO9001-2015 認證的實驗室。在Actlabs中,將溪流沉積物樣本乾燥、篩分、粉碎和粉碎至95%,通過105 μm,然後在氰化物溶液中裝瓶 24 小時,溶液的金濃度由 AA(原子吸收)測量,檢測下限爲 3 ppb Au。
In addition to the BLEG Au analyses on the Noseno stream sediment samples, 4-acid digestion ICP-OES (induced coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy) was conducted on the samples for 36 trace elements. Subsamples of approximately 30g of the processed stream sediment samples were obtained at the Actlabs laboratory in Georgetown prior to BLEG analysis and these were then shipped to the Actlabs laboratory in Zacatecas, Mexico for ICP-OES analysis. The rock chip samples collected from Noseno were analyzed at Actlabs laboratory in Georgetown by 30g Fire Assay and atomic absorption (AA) finish.
除了對Noseno溪流沉積物樣本進行BLEG Au分析外,還對36種微量元素的樣本進行了4-酸消化ICP-OES(感應耦合等離子體發射光譜學)。在進行BLEG分析之前,在喬治敦的Actlabs實驗室採集了大約30克經過處理的溪流沉積物樣本的子樣本,然後將其運往墨西哥薩卡特卡斯州的Actlabs實驗室進行ICP-OES分析。從Noseno收集的岩屑樣本是在喬治敦的Actlabs實驗室通過30g火焰測定和原子吸收(AA)完成分析的。
For the QA/QC protocol, certified standards and blanks (from OREAS) and field duplicate samples were inserted into the sample stream at a rate of approximately one in eight samples. A total of seven standards and six blanks were used and six field duplicate samples were obtained for a total of 19 QA/QC samples in 142 stream sediment samples. The QA/QC results were determined to be acceptable. There were no QA/QC reference materials used in the analysis of the rock chip samples, as the total number of samples was 19 and the final assays results were less than anomalous.
對於質量保證/質量控制協議,將經過認證的標準和空白(來自OREAS)以及現場重複樣本以大約八分之一的速率插入樣本流中。共使用了七個標準和六個空白,在142個溪流沉積物樣本中共獲得了19個質量保證/質量控制樣本的六個現場重複樣本。質量保證/質量控制結果被確定爲可接受。在分析岩屑樣品時沒有使用質量保證/質量控制參考材料,因爲樣本總數爲19個,最終的化驗結果沒有異常。
