Mega Precious Metals Commences High Resolution Em and Magnetic Geophysical Survey on the Satterly Gold Project
The project is located within the Birch-Uchi Greenstone Belt, and is underlain by a sequence of folded and faulted mafic to intermediate volcanic rocks, sediments and mafic intrusives. This sequence is transected by a series of complex igneous plutonic (tonalite) rocks that together with the interflow sedimentary units have similar characteristics to the adjacent Springpole Gold Project owned by Gold Canyon.
The survey will cover 524 line kilometers and is to be flown at a line-spacing of 100 metres to accurately collect magnetic data over this area. Once the survey is complete, the data will be processed using 3-D magnetic inversion techniques which will enable accurate geometry and distribution of any gold-bearing hydrothermal conduits associated within the property.
This effort will provide vital targeting of potential intrusive feeders that may connect to the mineralization encountered at the Springpole Gold Project. The airborne survey and inversion modeling is expected to be completed by August 2011. New prospective targets generated from this survey, in combination with previous surface exploration, will assist in enhancing target areas that will be followed up with a more detailed geological mapping and sampling program in summer 2011.
