THE THEORY – TARGETING HIGH GRADE GOLD WITH EM
A rare situation where electromagnetics can directly lead to high-grade gold
==> picture [66 x 56] intentionally omitted <==
Eastmain Mineralization Semi massive pyrrhotite
“Mineralized quartz veins and lenses show a variable thickness between 10 cm and 13 m, and sulphide contents average 15 to 20% in the mineralized quartz veins and sulphide lenses.”
“In order of decreasing abundance, sulphides consist of pyrrhotite , pyrite, and chalcopyrite, with minor sphalerite, magnetite and molybdenite. Visible gold occurs in the mineralized quartz veins as small (<1 mm) grains associated with quartz and/or sulphides in the A, B and C Zones.“
http://benzmining.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Eamain-Mine-TechReport-for-Benz-Sep-3-2019-Final.pdf
==> picture [204 x 230] intentionally omitted <==
Strong conductivity Detectable by EM
“In order to solve the problem of defining prospective sulphide lenses, borehole geophysics was used. It soon became evident that borehole PEM could easily define the sulphide lenses at depth which was, but for a few exceptions, the ore zones.”
“The use of borehole geophysics has allowed the progression of sampling to proceed at 100-150m intervals. This is a vast improvement over the 50m sampling interval used in geologic fences. Therefore the only means of rapidly developing tonnage and delineating new lenses is to stringently guide the drilling programs with geophysics.“
“Drilling to date which had been solely based on borehole geophysics has had a 71% success rate which is much higher than the project average.“
“The Eastmain deposit is a rare example in gold exploration. Geophysics usually plays a secondary role in gold camps but in this instance it is the major contributing factor to discovery and development.“
