Westhaven Identifies Numerous High-Priority Drill Targets at Its Shovelnose Gold Property; Adds Second Drill Rig - Seite 2

12-05:

Located 1.2 kilometres towards the north-northwest of the South Zone. This target is identified by a multi-element soil geochemical anomaly (gold, silver, antimony, arsenic, molybdenum, mercury) and rock samples from here also returned anomalies values of silver. Additionally, a geophysical magnetic-low features trends from South Zone towards this target.

FMN:

Located 1.2 kilomteres towards the northwest along the South Zone mineralized structural trend. This target is identified by a multi-element soil geochemical anomaly (gold, silver, arsenic, antimony, molybdenum), and rock samples also returned anomalies values of silver. Geophysical surveys in this area indicate an epithermal signature by the presence of overlapping magnetic-low and potassic-high anomalies. Potassium is a common constituent in hydrothermal fluids in epithermal deposits in the form of adularia.

MIK:

Located 850 metres west-northwest of the South Zone. This target is identified by overlapping multi-element geochemical (gold, silver, copper, selenium, antimony, arsenic) and geophysical (magnetic-low and potassic-high) anomalies. Historical rock sampling, trenching and shallow drilling intercepted anomalous gold and silver values but did not fully test the geochemical and geophysical anomalies.

Line 6:

Located 2.3 kilometres west of the South Zone. This target is identified by a large (900m x 700m) multi-element soil geochemical anomaly (gold, silver, copper, arsenic, barium, zinc, magnesium, molybdenum) as well as strong potassic and magnetic low geophysical signatures. Line 6 is similar to MIK Zone but has a larger areal footprint. Historical rock sampling, trenching and shallow drilling intercepted anomalous gold and silver values but did not fully test the geochemical and geophysical anomalies.

Brookmere:

Located 3.1 kilometres west-southwest from the South Zone. This target is identified by areas of epithermal silicification and locally associated magnetic low anomalies. Rock samples from this area returned anomalous gold, silver and selenium epithermal indicator values. The presence of strong clay alteration and abundant silica flooding suggests this area is high level and there is potential for a buried epithermal target. 

NW Brookmere:

Located 500 metres northwest of the Brookmere target. This area is identified by a broad soil multi-element geochemical anomaly (gold, silver, copper, arsenic, antimony, molybdenum, mercury, barium, zinc) and overlapping magnetic-low geophysical signatures. Additionally, rock samples in the area returned anomalous silver values. This target area is situated lower than Brookmere and is likely associated with the hydrothermal fluids observed higher in the stratigraphy.
