Independence Gold Announces Exploration Program Update on the 3Ts Property, British Columbia
October 24 2019 - 8:30AM
Independence Gold Corp. (TSX.V: IGO)
("Independence" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the
successful completion of its Phase One and Phase Two exploration
programs at the 3Ts Property. Prior to the field programs, an
extensive historical data review and compilation was completed,
followed by 3D geological modeling of the epithermal
quartz-carbonate vein system based on surface and historical
drilling data.
The Phase One exploration program commenced in
May 2019 and was completed in June 2019. This included prospecting
and geological mapping, and detailed alteration mapping of surface
exposures and historical drill core stored on site, which resulted
in the collection of 1,197 TerraSpec Halo spectral measurements.
Several compelling alteration features were detected in the
vicinity of known epithermal veins and in the extension zones of
the veins. In addition to the alteration mapping, 33 rock samples
were collected, mainly from known vein exposures. Three sites not
previously sampled on the Property returned anomalous gold (“Au”),
silver (“Ag”), and copper (“Cu”) mineralization (up to 3.6 parts
per million (“ppm”) Au, 85.8 ppm Ag, and 0.36% Cu).
Phase Two of the 3Ts exploration program was
completed in September 2019. This consisted of a 286.4 line-km
drone based magnetic survey flown over the vein system. A
comprehensive interpretation of the results of the magnetic survey
was carried out by SJ Geophysics, and a 3D magnetic inversion model
was built and incorporated into the 3D geological model. The
magnetic interpretation and the inversion model highlight several
anomalous features on the Property which require follow-up
work.
The epithermal quartz-carbonate vein system at
3Ts has a calculated inferred resource estimate containing 441,000
ounces of gold and 12,540,000 ounces of silver. The historical data
compilation and geological modeling completed in the first half of
2019 resulted in several new drill targets within the Property. The
results of the Phase One and Phase Two field programs highlighted
numerous areas of interest for follow-up work and assisted in
refining these new drill target areas. Independence is currently in
the process of planning a diamond drill program for the upcoming
winter.
