Winnipeg, Manitoba -- February 26,
2018 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Gossan
Resources Limited (GSS:TSX.V, GSR:XFRA) has commenced drilling at
its highly prospective Sturgeon Lake property, located in the
eastern part of the historic zinc-rich polymetallic Sturgeon Lake VMS Camp of Northwestern Ontario.
Four distinct high-priority, multi-parameter volcanogenic massive
sulphide (VMS) target areas will be tested with a diamond drill
program of up to 2,000 metres.
Gossan’s Sturgeon Lake Property is
comprised of a 14-claim block, totaling 3,088 hectares, which lies
directly along strike and to the east of six historic VMS
deposits. Management believes
its Sturgeon property has the potential to host a significant
zinc-copper-silver-rich VMS deposit, similar to those mined from
1970 to 1991 in the renowned base-metal camp, and which accounted
for approximately 18.7
million tonnes of ore, with average grades of 8.0% zinc, 1.1%
copper, 0.8% lead, 120 g/t silver and 0.5 g/t
gold.
- A
VTEM geophysical survey has identified three east-west trending
parallel horizons with strong and laterally extensive
sulphide-bearing conductors, along strike with the past-producing
Sturgeon Lake and Lyon Lake VMS ore deposits.
- Geochemical surveys conducted over these
geophysical targets have identified four distinct coincident
multi-metal targets.
- 3D
Maxwell modeling of VTEM geophysics has further defined the extent
and orientation of electromagnetic conductors, co-incident with
geochemical anomalies, in the four target areas.
- Prior
drilling in the southeast corner of the property, intercepted
favourable geological horizons containing blue-quartz-eye-rich
rhyolites with hydrothermal alteration and sulphide mineralization
similar to rhyolite formations hosting the nearby Sturgeon Lake and
Lyon Lake deposits.
