Highlights
- The floor expression of the Chris Creek gold-in-soil anomaly strikes east-northeast, measures 350 m vast x 2.2 km lengthy (see Firm Press Launch dated August 1, 2024), and is open alongside strike to the west and to the east and contains a number of the highest gold in soil values encountered up to now.
- The anomaly shows clear multi-element geochemical zonation, with gold (Au), tellurium (Te), and silver (Ag).
- Gold inside favourably altered and mineralized intrusive rocks was encountered in a number of samples alongside the Chris Creek goal.
- All floor rock samples returned anomalous gold together with as much as 1.06 and 1.09 g/t Au over a 1.25 km part of the gold-in-soil anomaly.
- Rock samples collected counsel robust continuity of the Chris Creek soil anomaly which seems to be underlain by a broad, gold bearing variably altered, brittle fractured, silica flooded monzogranite.
- The Chris Creek goal types half of a bigger property-scale mineralized system on the QV property which measures 5.2km in strike, with a number of different potential targets which haven’t been drill examined.
- A maiden diamond drilling program on the goal has been executed, testing an roughly 400 m strike size of the goal with outcomes to be launched in the end.
2024 Exploration Program
Exploration work accomplished on the Chris Creek goal in 2024 (Determine 2) included 787 infill and extension soil samples, 5 strains of VLF-EM surveying totalling 6.35-line km plus 2D inversions, 14 rock samples, and maiden diamond drilling.
Outcomes of the soil sampling and VLF-EM surveys have been beforehand introduced on August 1, 2024. Gold-In-soil values vary from
Magnetic information reveals that the newly recognized soil anomaly is located close to a mafic belt with a NNW-SSE orientation, just like the structural context of the VG, Golden Saddle, and Ryan’s Shock deposits positioned alongside strike roughly 9 to 19 km to the SE and SSE. The extremely magnetic mafic belts are noticed to occupy the hanging wall of E- to ENE-dipping, district-scale thrust faults, with gold mineralization on the VG, Golden Saddle, and Ryan’s Shock deposits occurring the place intersected by important NE- or NW-trending faults. On the newly recognized soil anomaly, anomalous gold is localized at a fault intersection of an identical structural and magnetic sample to these of the talked about deposits and is related to a semi-circular magnetic excessive roughly 1 km in diameter.
2D inversions of not too long ago accomplished VLF-EM survey strains over the goal point out the gold-in-soil anomaly is related to a reasonably north-dipping hanging wall – footwall contact zone.
A complete of 14 rock samples have been collected alongside a 1.25 km size of the gold-in-soil anomaly. Samples have been collected at varied depths as much as 1 m from hand dug pits and consultant composite samples have been submitted for evaluation. The sampling demonstrated the presence of gold with related silver and tellurium in rock samples immediately overlying the Chris Creek goal. Of the 14 samples collected, all samples returned anomalous gold values with together with 2 samples that returned 1.06 and 1.09 g/t Au, 1 pattern returned 0.46 g/t Au, 5 samples returned between 0.1 to 0.2 g/t Au, and as much as 13.66 g/t Ag together with 3.318 g/t Ag, and a couple of.99 g/t Ag. The continuity of rock samples and gold-in-soil values collected counsel the presence of a giant mineralized system on the goal that is still open and unexplored.
A maiden diamond drill program was not too long ago executed testing an roughly 400 m strike size of the goal. All holes have been drilled to the south (160°-180° azimuth) at dips starting from -50° to -75°, with gap starting from 95.0 to 251.0 m. Drilling assay outcomes are pending and can be introduced in the end.
Chris Creek Goal
The Chris Creek goal represents a potential new goal inside White Gold Corp’s portfolio, positioned roughly 9 km northwest of the VG deposit. 2024 soil geochemical sampling on the goal returned values as excessive as 600 ppb Au, together with 418.6 ppb Au, 244.6 ppb Au, 237.3 ppb Au, 218.1 ppb Au, and 200.6 ppb Au. These outcomes additional outline the core of the anomaly and broaden the gold-in-soil development eastward towards the Diego development. This connection types an total gold development measuring roughly 2.7 km alongside strike and as much as 250 m in width.
The geological options of Chris Creek intently resemble these of the Golden Saddle and VG deposits (Determine 5), all of which stay open for growth. At Golden Saddle and VG, gold is hosted inside brittle-ductile fault zones, quartz vein breccias, and stockwork veining, just like the constructions seen at Chris Creek. Preliminary rock sampling outcomes counsel Chris Creek shares most of the identical options because the Golden Saddle and VG deposits. The robust similarities between Chris Creek, which stays underexplored and open for growth, and the established Golden Saddle and VG deposits, characterize substantial potential for future discoveries throughout the Chris Creek system. With a number of mineralization types (Au-Te-Ag, As-Sb, Mo-bearing quartz-carbonate veins, and skarn) throughout a big structural hall, there’s important alternative for continued geophysical surveys, trenching, and drilling to additional outline and broaden the mineralized zones.
QV Property Prospectivity
The QV property contains 1003 quartz claims which over an space of 19,671 hectares and hosts the VG deposit, which hosts an open pittable Inferred useful resource of 287,100 oz gold at 1.53 g/t (1) and types a part of the Firm’s flagship White Gold Venture. The mineralization is hosted alongside a N-E trending, gently south dipping structural zone that has been traced for over 700 m at floor and consists of disseminated to vein-controlled pyrite with brecciation, stockwork quartz-carbonate veining, and sericite alteration. The VG shares robust similarities to the Golden Saddle deposit positioned 11 km south of the VG deposit on the White Gold property each in structural setting in addition to mineralization fashion and is open alongside strike and at depth.
The presently outlined Chris Creek goal sits within the western area of a broader development (The Chris Creek Pattern) that extends 5.2 km east-northeast, starting at Chris Creek and passing by means of the Diego goal in direction of the Tetra goal. Claims to the east of Diego goal have been strategically staked in 2023 as a result of its illustration as a continuation and extension of the Chris Creek and Diego anomalies, offering continuity of the development to the Firm. The geochemical anomaly at Tetra is primarily Mo-Au and is bisected by a serious west-northwest trending magnetic low, which runs subparallel to a big, mapped incidence of early Jurassic-aged Lengthy Lake Suite granodioritic intrusives. Your complete development follows a serious fault recognized by means of Lidar and is highlighted by anomalous mercury (Hg) alongside its size.
Along with targets located alongside the Chris Creek development, the property additionally hosts a number of different potential targets which have obtained restricted exploration work and provide potential for extra discoveries together with the Stewart and Shadow targets which have seen restricted exploration and no drilling up to now. The Stewart goal happens adjoining to a Jurassic intrusive is positioned 5km N-NW of the VG deposit and consists of a 1.5km E-W trending gold in soil anomaly, with values from hint to 274.1 ppb Au and anomalous Bi-Ag-Te-Mo. The Shadow goal is positioned 12 km north of the VG zone and consists of a number of gold in soil anomalies, starting from hint to 514ppb Au and is 2.7km lengthy with affiliation to a collection of NW and ENE trending constructions and strongly anomalous Ag-Pb-Bi+/-As+/-Mo. The Tetra goal happens on the Chris Creek Pattern, alongside an interpreted E-W oriented fault and is positioned 8km N of the VG, consists of a 1.5km E-W trending gold in soil anomaly with values from hint to 151.5 ppb Au and stays is open and unexplored to the west.
Rock Sampling Strategies and Evaluation
The 2024 Chris Creek rock sampling program concerned digging hand pits above beforehand collected soil samples. Holes have been dug in 20-40 cm increments, and the filth sieved to gather rock fragments, retaining solely these bigger than 5 cm diameter. Chosen rocks have been positioned in pre-labeled poly pattern baggage, indicating the soil pattern station ID and depth fraction, and returned to Thistle Camp on the finish of the day. At camp, rocks from every depth have been washed, and sufficiently massive samples have been minimize with a noticed to reveal recent surfaces. An onsite geologist logged the rocks, noting constant varieties and alterations throughout depth partitions. A consultant composite pattern was collected from every station for evaluation.
Evaluation work for the 2024 rock sampling program was carried out by Bureau Veritas, an internationally acknowledged analytical providers supplier at its South Vancouver, British Columbia laboratory. Pattern preparation was carried out at its Whitehorse, Yukon facility. All samples have been ready utilizing the PRP70-250 bundle, the place samples have been weighed, dried, and crushed to better than 70% passing a 2mm sieve, then pulverized to better than 85% passing 75 microns. Samples have been then analyzed in accordance with BV’s FA430 and MA250 packages, for each gold evaluation by fireplace assay (30g fireplace assay with AAS end) and ultra-trace multi-element ICP evaluation (0.25 g, 4 acid digestion and ICP-MS evaluation).
