Sirabada Soil Geochemistry
|
The Sirabada zone is marked by a relatively extensive area of artisanal mine workings within a broad 2500 metre by 200 to 600 metre gold-in-soil anomaly. The artisanal workings clearly indicate two trends: the northwest (330o) trend and the northeast (060o) trend. The entire area has been intensely altered to a bleached white color.
A total of 21 reverse circulation holes totaling 2,335 metres were drilled at Sirabada, to test gold-in-soil and chargeability anomalies. The drilling encountered relatively abundant quartz veins in an intensely sericitized zone. Gold values ranged from background to 5.60 gpt Au over 1 metre in MSB-07-010.
