TDG Gold Reports Extensive Copper-Gold Signature Over the Baker Complex, Toodoggone - Seite 2
This multi-element coincident data strongly supports the concept that Baker represents a large-scale mineralized system, as does the data for Saunders. Integration is ongoing of the LDS results with the regional-scale silt geochemical samples and modern geophysics. TDG's aim is to define prioritized, drill-ready targets1 within the Baker Complex to help focus and inform potential joint venture discussions.
1. Baker Mine Area
The Baker mine area1 is marked by a distinctive 15 sq.km circular, dome-like physiographic feature. Within and around this dome-like landscape feature, extensive gossans indicative of a high sulphide endowment and widespread porphyry alteration coincide with multiple geochemical and geophysical anomalies. Historical drilling undertaken at Baker was shallow and focused on Au-Ag epithermal mineralization.
2. Saunders
The Saunders target area1 covers ~10 sq.km and has never been drill tested. It comprises multiple historical prospects with minimal exploration. The LDS survey results indicate the presence of the highest stream sediment pathfinder element anomalies across the whole Baker Complex. Cu and Mo concentrations within the Saunders area are in the top 5% of all the samples collected in the 2023 survey.
Greater Shasta-Newberry
LDS sampling results from Greater Shasta indicate highly anomalous Au and Ag from drainages, particularly where the Shasta mineral resource2 has already been defined (Figure 5 above). Elevated Au-Ag in the vicinity of a defined Mineral Resource Estimate2 (news release May 01, 2023) provides support for the LDS technique as a prospecting method. Other highlights include the Cody Lee and Fisher target areas1 which have had limited, but successful historical drilling and are open in all directions (news releases Apr 03 and Apr 06, 2023). The LDS survey has also highlighted the potential to expand the mineralized footprint at Newberry1 which has never been drill tested.
