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.
