GoldHaven Resources Updates on Copeçal Gold Project
GoldHaven Resources Corp. (“GoldHaven” or the “Company”) (CSE: GOH, OTCQB: GHVNF, Frankfurt: 4QS) is excited to announce advancements in its ongoing auger drill program focusing on key anomalies at the Copeçal Gold Project. This program, which began earlier this month, aims to delve into the project's promising geological formations and assess gold mineralization potential.
Current Program Achievements
As of the recent update, GoldHaven has successfully completed 70% of its planned 2,000 meters of auger drilling, totaling about 1,400 meters thus far. Remarkably, the drilling has revealed a weathering profile in the regolith from the surface down to depths of up to 30 meters, demonstrating a promising geological structure for potential gold concentrations. The initial drilling approach has yielded multiple promising intersections, reinforcing the initial geological expectations based on prior analyses.
Quality Assurance and Assay Progress
The Company has submitted 350 samples from the East Target to ALS Global Laboratories for thorough analysis. Adhering to industry standards, sampling was conducted at 2-meter intervals throughout the drilling process. Quality control is paramount; hence, a systematic insert of blanks, certified standards, and duplicates has been integrated at a rate of 10%, ensuring the reliability of the results to be generated within the anticipated timeframe of 3 to 4 weeks.
CEO Comments on Progress
Rob Birmingham, the CEO of GoldHaven Resources, shared his enthusiasm regarding the drilling progress stating, "We are delighted to have surpassed the first half of auger drilling on our Copeçal Gold project, with our first batch of assays sent for analysis. As we transition from the East Target to the West Target, we expect to gain further clarity on the anomalies before we commence diamond drilling." His insights underscore the commitment to enhancing the understanding of the project’s geological frameworks.
Overview of the Auger Drilling Program
The objective of the auger drilling program is to establish a detailed 3D litho-geochemical model of the gold distribution within the regolith below significant soil anomalies. Drilling is carried out vertically from the surface to the regolith-bedrock interface, spanning depths of approximately 5 to 30 meters, on a 100m x 50m grid. This meticulous method is anticipated to produce critical high-resolution geological data that will refine the understanding of subsurface structures and advance future explorations.
Future Drilling Initiatives
Looking ahead, GoldHaven plans to implement a Drone-borne Very Low Frequency (VLF) Electromagnetic Survey, targeted to start soon. This survey will map out structural trends recognized as conducive to hosting gold mineralization across both the East and West Gold-in-Soil anomalies and their projected extensions. The combination of VLF geophysics and auger geochemistry is expected to enhance the strategic positioning of diamond drill collars, thus improving the efficiency of exploration efforts.
Insights into the Copeçal Gold Project
The Copeçal Gold Project is prominently located within the Alta Floresta Gold Province, an area reputed for its rich history of gold mining that dates back to the late 1970s. Covering 3,681 hectares, GoldHaven’s tenure sits within the geologically favorable Juruena Gold Province, known for its significant gold deposits. Notable assets in the area include historically recognized gold sources that lend credence to the exploration endeavors being conducted by GoldHaven.
Prior exploration campaigns, including soil sampling and geophysical studies performed from 2010 to 2016 by AngloGold Ashanti, indicated multiple zones of intriguing anomalous gold indicators across the project. The accumulated data from these activities points towards a substantial gold system across the Copeçal Gold Project, strengthening GoldHaven’s ongoing exploration narrative.
