VANCOUVER, BC / ACCCESSWIRE / April 10, 2024 / SKY GOLD CORP. ("Sky" or the "Company") (TSX.V:SKYG)(OTC PINK:SRKZF) is pleased to announce that two (2) high-quality exploration targets will be the focus of 2024 exploration, to be completed on Sky's Shebandowan Ni-Cu-Co-PGE-Au property (the "Property"), located in northwestern Ontario. The emergence of such targets was the culmination of a recent data compilation, incorporating newly acquired VTEM (Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic) airborne geophysical survey data, with legacy till geochemical data, as well as historical assessment report data in the Company's possession.
不列顛哥倫比亞省溫哥華/ACCESSWIRE/2024 年 4 月 10 日/SKY GOLD CORP.（“天空” 或 “公司”）（多倫多證券交易所股票代碼：SKYG）（場外交易代碼：SRKZF）欣然宣佈，兩（2）個高質量勘探目標將成爲2024年勘探的重點，將在Sky位於安大略省西北部的Shebandowan NI-CU-CO-PGE-AU地產（“物業”）上完成。此類目標的出現是最近數據彙編的高潮，該數據彙編納入了新獲得的VTEM（多功能時域電磁）航空地球物理調查數據、遺留的地球化學數據以及公司擁有的歷史評估報告數據。
The Property, comprising 5,894 hectares, is located 70 km west of the City of Thunder Bay and 5 km southwest of the past-producing Shebandowan Ni-Cu-Co-Cr-PGE mine, operated by Inco Ltd. during the period of 1970 to 1998. The Shebandowan mine is a world-class example of a primary magmatic nickel sulphide deposit, with produced tonnage & grade of 8.7 MT at 2.0% nickel, 1.0% copper, 3.0 g/t platinum + palladium (cobalt and chrome grades unknown).
該物業佔地5,894公頃，位於桑德貝市以西70公里處，位於過去生產的Shebandowan NI-CU-co-CR-PGE礦西南5公里處，該礦由Inco Ltd.在1970年至1998年期間運營。Shebandowan礦是世界級岩漿硫化鎳礦牀的典範，其產量和品位爲8.7萬噸，鎳含量爲2.0％，銅含量爲1.0％，鉑金+鈀3.0克/噸（鈷和鉻等級未知）。
Mingold Au Anomaly:
Mingold Au 異常：
Historic geochemical work completed by Mingold in the 1990's, delineated an area in the SW part of the Property containing a high number of gold grains at numerous sample sites, known as the Mingold Au anomaly.
明戈德在20世紀90年代完成的歷史地球化學工作描繪了該物業西南部分的一個區域，該區域在衆多樣本地點有大量金粒，稱爲明戈爾德金異常。
Heavy mineral concentrates from the Mingold sampling, yielded gold values as high as 5,250 ppb, 1,580 ppb, 1,370 ppb and 1,050 ppb and cover an area of approximately 3 X 3 kilometres (Figure 1 & 2). Delicate, pristine gold grains were also reported at a number of the sample sites, strongly suggestive of a local bedrock source for the gold. The high gold values in such samples, also include strongly anomalous pathfinder elements including arsenic, antimony, bismuth, as well as copper, lead and zinc. Notably, the Mingold Au Anomaly is bounded by 2 crustal-scale faults, including the Tinto Fault and an unnamed parallel Fault situated to the northwest, clearly enhancing the prospectivity of this target.
來自明戈爾德樣本的重質礦物濃縮物的金值高達5,250ppb、1,580ppb、1,370 ppb和1,050 ppb，覆蓋面積約爲3 X 3千米（圖1和2）。一些樣本地點還報告了精緻的原始金粒，這強烈表明黃金存在當地的基岩來源。此類樣品中的高金值還包括強烈的異常探路元素，包括砷、銻、鉍以及銅、鉛和鋅。值得注意的是，明戈爾德金異常以兩個地殼尺度的斷層爲界，包括位於西北部的丁託斷層和一個未命名的平行斷層，這顯然增強了該目標的前景。
Historic shallow drilling (AXT size core and holes less than 100 metres deep) completed by Inco and Falconbridge in 1967-1968, intersected broad zones of fuchsitic alteration (chrome mica) containing up to 30% pyrite. No gold assays are reported from such drilling although alteration of this nature is an excellent indicator for gold.
英科和法爾康布里奇在1967-1968年完成了歷史性的淺層鑽探（AXT大小的岩心和小於100米的孔），橫穿了含有高達30％黃鐵礦的寬闊的紫紅色蝕變區域（鉻雲母）。儘管這種性質的變化是黃金的一個很好的指標，但沒有關於此類鑽探的金化驗報告。
High-Priority NI-Co-Co-PGE Target:
高優先級 Ni-Co-Co-PGE 目標：
VTEM Conductors
VTEM 導體
The VTEM airborne geophysical survey yielded both electromagnetic and magnetic data, important exploration tools in the search for magmatic Ni-Cu-Co-PGE deposits.
VTEM航空地球物理調查產生了電磁和磁學數據，這些數據是尋找岩漿Ni-Cu-Co-PGE礦牀的重要勘探工具。
Interpretation of the VTEM survey data yielded over 70 target areas for follow-up. Among them, 8 high-priority target areas are slated for immediate follow-up (Figure 1). All 8 high-priority target areas are underlain by mafic and ultramafic rocks, the requisite host rocks for magmatic Ni-Cu-Co-PGE deposits, including at the Shebandowan mine.
對VTEM調查數據的解釋產生了70多個目標區域供後續跟進。其中，8個高優先目標領域將立即採取後續行動（圖1）。所有8個高優先目標區域都位於鐵質巖和超鎂鐵質岩石之下，這些岩石是岩漿Ni-Cu-Co-PGE礦牀的必要主巖，包括Shebandowan礦牀。
The targets ranked as high-priority, comprise single electromagnetic (EM) conductors and conductor clusters, delineated over strike lengths ranging from 100 to 800 metres and are graded as moderate to strong in intensity.
被列爲高優先級的目標包括單個電磁 (EM) 導體和導體星團，其打擊長度從 100 到 800 米不等，強度分爲中到強。
Processing of the magnetic data from the VTEM survey yielded 2 prominent magnetic centres or magnetic highs on the Property. The magnetic highs are separated by a northeast-trending magnetic low, marked by the crustal-scale, Tinto Fault (Figure 3A). The western magnetic high is a wedge-shaped feature bounded on the southeast by the Tinto Fault and to the northwest by an unnamed fault, which extends to the northeast intersecting the Crayfish Creek Fault, at the site of the Shebandowan mine. The western and eastern magnetic highs are underlain by ultramafic and mafic rocks including peridotite, pyroxenite and gabbro.
對來自VTEM調查的磁數據的處理產生了該物業上兩個突出的磁中心或磁高。磁高點由東北方向的磁低點隔開，其標誌是地殼尺度的丁託斷層（圖 3A）。西部磁高處是一個楔形特徵，東南邊界是丁託斷層，西北邊是一個未命名的斷層，該斷層向東北延伸，與小龍蝦溪斷層相交，位於謝班多萬礦所在地。西部和東部的磁高點由超鎂鐵質和鎂鐵質岩石覆蓋，包括橄欖岩、輝石和輝長岩。
Till Geochemistry Anomalies
直到地球化學異常
Strongly supporting the geophysical targets is an extensive cluster of highly anomalous, nickel, copper, chrome, platinum and palladium values in glacial till, delineated by an Ontario Geological Survey investigation in 2000. The most anomalous samples from the entire survey area occur on the Shebandowan property, featuring values of up to 345 ppm nickel, 44 ppm cobalt, 398 ppm chrome, 4.15 ppb platinum and 4.13 ppb palladium.
2000年，安大略省地質調查局的一項調查顯示，冰川巖中存在大量高度異常的鎳、銅、鉻、鉑和鈀值，這組數據爲地球物理目標提供了有力支持。整個調查區域中最異常的樣本出現在謝班多萬的礦產上，鎳含量高達345 ppm，鈷含量高達44 ppm，鉻含量爲398 ppm，鉑值爲4.15 ppb，鈀值爲4.13 ppb。
Contour plots for 4 of the metals obtained in the Ontario Geological Survey were prepared and superimposed on the geophysical targets (Figures 3A, 3B, 3C & 3D). Two prominent features stand out:
繪製了安大略省地質調查局獲得的4種金屬的等高線圖，並將其疊加在地球物理目標上（圖3A、3B、3C和3D）。兩個突出特徵：
1) there is remarkable coincidence of the western magnetic high and associated EM conductors with the nickel, copper, cobalt and platinum anomalies and
1) 西方磁高壓和相關的電磁導體與鎳、銅、鈷和鉑的異常非常吻合，而且
2) the geochemical anomalies are extensive (5 km by 5 km) and appear to be closely related to faulting.
2) 地球化學異常非常廣泛（5 km x 5 km），似乎與斷層密切相關。
The VTEM targets, geochemical anomalies and mafic and ultramafic rocks are closely related to the Tinto Fault and related splays. The Tinto Fault is a deep-seated structure situated at a major terrain boundary, separating rocks of the Shebandowan greenstone belt and younger intrusions to the south. Such a setting is identical to that of the Shebandowan Ni-Cu-Co-PGE mines situated on the Crayfish Creek Fault, a crustal-scale fault situated on the north contact of the greenstone belt with younger intrusions. These deep-seated crustal-scale structures allowed mafic and ultramafic magmas and associated nickel-copper-cobalt-platinum group element mineralization, to reach upper crustal levels to their eventual sites of deposition.
VTEM目標、地球化學異常以及鐵質和超鎂鐵質岩石與丁託斷層及相關溢出物密切相關。丁託斷層是一座位於主要地形邊界的深層建築，將謝班多萬綠巖帶的岩石和向南的較年輕入侵物隔開。這樣的環境與位於小龍蝦溪斷層上的Shebandowan Ni-cu-co-PGE礦山的環境相同，小龍蝦溪斷層是一個地殼規模的斷層，位於綠巖帶的北接點，有較年輕的入侵者。這些深層的地殼尺度結構使鎂鐵質和超鎂鐵質岩漿以及相關的鎳-銅-鈷-鉑族元素礦化作用能夠到達地殼上層到達其最終沉積地點。
Collectively, the evidence suggests a potential local bedrock source for mineralization in the immediate area, underpinned by the strong nickel, copper, cobalt and platinum geochemical anomalies as well as supporting geophysics and favourable geology.
總體而言，證據表明，鄰近地區存在潛在的局部基岩礦化來源，其基礎是強烈的鎳、銅、鈷和鉑地球化學異常，並支持地球物理學和有利的地質學。
What's Next for Shebandowan:
Shebandowan 的下一步是什麼：
An integrated exploration program involving soil geochemistry, prospecting, trenching and diamond drilling will commence on the Shebandowan property in the spring. Detailed soil geochemistry is warranted to more tightly define the highly anomalous Ni-Cu-Co-PGE contour patterns obtained in the Ontario Geological Survey regional till survey. In such a survey, tills were collected on 4 square kilometer centres - more detailed sampling is warranted to help delineate drill targets. Additional till and soil sampling is also required at the site of the Mingold Au anomaly to further define its strength and extent.
一項涉及土壤地球化學、勘探、挖溝和鑽石鑽探的綜合勘探計劃將於春季在Shebandowan地產上啓動。需要詳細的土壤地球化學信息，以更準確地定義在安大略省地質調查局區域獲得的高度異常的Ni-Cu-Co-PGE輪廓圖案。在這樣的調查中，在 4 平方千米的中心採集了收銀臺——爲了幫助劃定鑽探目標，需要進行更詳細的採樣。還需要在 Mingold Au 異常現場進行額外的耕作和土壤採樣，以進一步確定其強度和範圍。
Trenching will be performed where overburden conditions allow, to evaluate high-priority VTEM anomalies coincident with anomalous soil geochemistry underlain by mafic and ultramafic rocks. All high-priority targets are expected to be evaluated by diamond drilling this season.
將在覆蓋層條件允許的情況下進行挖溝，以評估高度優先的VTEM異常情況與鐵質和超鎂鐵質岩石構成的異常土壤地球化學相吻合。所有高優先目標預計將在本季通過鑽石鑽探進行評估。
