Expedition Mining Starts Airborne Survey at Mt. Mervyn and Joy Properties
Expedition Mining has commenced an airborne time-domain electromagnetic survey at the Joy and Mt. Mervyn properties.
These two properties include 128 and 314 claims, which is situated in the Rackla gold belt. This recently identified gold district has the Rau property of ATAC Resources that encloses Carlin-type gold mineralization.
These Carlin-types of gold deposits are described as gold that is lightly scattered all through the host rocks in different composition, which stems from the hydrothermal methods through a structural control element. Mt. Mervyn and Joy properties are situated between Dawson Thrust, east-west trending and the Kathleen Lakes Fault, and in the Selwyn Basin Paleozoic tectonic area’s carbonate inlier. Rau property has gold-bearing oxide and sulphide that is present in shallow water dolomite, limestone, and calcareous siltstone, which is locally, encroached by Triassic quartz porphyries and granitic plutons.
In May 2011, the company will compile around 1000 line-km of high-resolution magnetic and electromagnetic information with the SkyTEM procedure. This airborne analysis will discover potential formations and conductors on the properties and offer an outline for a summer drilling program of geological sampling and mapping. The company has planned surface exploration programs to quickly progress new discoveries to the drilling phase.
