Digger’s Creek-EPM 11954
HIGHLIGHTS

  • Situated in the Georgetown District.

  • Target is a Vera Nancy style epithermal vein system.

  • Work to date has traced an identified epithermal vein system for over 2.5 kilometres up to 10 metres thick.

  • Intersecting transverse vein structures up to 1 kilometre long provide an economic basis in terms of tonnage potential.

  • The best gold intercept is 2 metres @ 2.88 g/t Au with rock chip samples up to 4.1 g/t Au.

  • Potential exists for high grade vein systems at depth.

  • QGM work program will include geological mapping of the main veins with selective sampling then RC and diamond drilling of targets identified.

Diggers Creek is a set of gold-bearing epithermal quartz veins extending up to 2500m in length, which have shed coarse alluvial gold. The veins are partly covered by a barren sandstone capping. A recent initial drilling programme, although largely unsuccessful, achieved a minor gold intersection in veins of one specific trend.
