VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 1, 2023 / Earthwise Minerals Corp (CSE:WISE)(FSE:966) ("Earthwise" or the "Company") a progressive Canadian gold exploration company is excited to announce its comprehensive exploration strategy for the Wilson gold property in Verneuil Township, Quebec. This initiative comes at a time of robust growth in the gold market and Earthwise believes it is poised to make significant advancements.
The Wilson property, encompassing 42 contiguous mining claims spread across approximately 1,660 hectares, is located just 175 kilometers northeast of the city of Val-d'Or, a key mining and service center in Northwestern Québec. Year-round accessibility to the property via a network of gravel roads ensures uninterrupted access.
CEO Patrick Morris stated, "We are thrilled to embark on the next chapter of Wilson's development as we enter this robust gold market. Between the mid-1990s and mid-2010s, drilling on 113 holes covering over 20,000 meters expanded the Wilson project to seven gold showings. And, most recently, an approximately 8,500-meter campaign further defining the deposit was completed in 2021 and 2022. Our focus now is to expand further on defining a significant resource, discovering the full potential of the Wilson property, and becoming contenders in the area."
The focal point of the Wilson gold project is the Toussaint showing. This area contains the most significant gold mineralization in the region. The various drilling campaigns that were completed in the past made it possible to determine that the Toussaint showing is a roughly oval shaped mineralized body containing calculated inferred geological reserves of 187,706 tonnes at 7.1 g / t gold. This mineralization is in a shear zone with an average thickness of five to six meters. The shear zone strikes NE-SW and dips steeply to the northwest, the zone is well exposed, and it has been followed for at least 250 meters.
Earthwise is undertaking a comprehensive three phase work program. The first phase involves compiling historical results and obtaining drilling permits. The second phase comprises a surface work program, while the third phase entails a proposed 4,000-meter diamond drill program.
To enhance exploration precision, Earthwise plans to commission a 3D compilation, providing a spatial perspective on historical results and geophysical data. Rock sample analysis and drill hole logs will be integrated into this 3D model, facilitating characterization of mineralized zones. Additionally, soil and the till sampling, combined with geophysical data, will identify additional drilling targets.
The upcoming drilling campaign aims to extend the existing mineralized gold system, to add information for an NI 43-101 report, intercept the gold system at greater depth, explore new geophysical IP targets, and test the high-grade intercepts.
