There are 3 distinct
targets which could provide the opportunity to
significantly expand the current gold resources
at the project. The first and most obvious
potential is in limiting the existing resources.
Past work did not close the Castle target on strike
or at depth. Expanding the Castle target
has the potential to link that zone with the Black
Rock zone, significantly expanding the size of
this target area. The Berg zone was never
limited to the north because of prior property
boundary conflicts which have since been resolved.
Extending the Berg zone could link it with the
Boss Deposit, enlarging the zone and incorporating
unexploited resources in the Boss pit which is
now controlled by Seabridge.
Defining the feeder structures in the Castle-Black
Rock zone and the Berg-Boss zone is another area
of exploration potential. Drill results
suggest that high-grade gold concentrations are
present in both zones. These intersections
are interpreted as structural feeder zones that
have not been incorporated as a specific ore domain
in current resource models. Following up
these high-grade feeder zones is not likely to
produce large increases in the volume of material
but could increase grade estimates for the zones.
Additional target potential is in the northwest
part of the property. Several well-developed
structures with gold concentrations crop out and
have been prospected in this area. Reports
from early drill holes in this area indicate gold
concentrations in structures and at contacts between
rhyolite domes and sedimentary rocks. These
targets have not been recently explored but may
have the potential for additional resources.
