Promising Potential Unveiled in Central Gold Belt
March 2023-Newfoundland Discovery announced geochemistry soil sample assay results from Phase One exploration at its Rodger’s Cove project in Newfoundland, which uncovered three highly anomalous geochemical gold clusters.
The anomalies comprise 40% of the samples assaying above 100 ppb Au and are align with glacial striae, suggesting a potential shared source to the southwest. Anomaly A is the most prominent gold anomaly and covers an area of approximately 600 x 800 meters.
- Anomaly A is coincident with the northern extension of a 1.5 km track of altered granite associated gold showings, with high-grade gold values of up to 1,780 ppb (1.780 g/t).
- Anomaly B is situated near historic gold occurrences and includes historical assays grading up to 14.56 g/t gold and 440 g/t silver.
- Anomaly C contains the highest soil sample value from Phase One, assaying 1,780 ppb Au (1.780 g/t), emphasizing the high-grade nature of the soil samples.
Phase Two will involve advanced exploration of the high-confidence multi-anomaly targets generated during Phase One to delineate and quantify mineralized zones and their structural feature.
