At Detour West, located 180 kilometres northeast of Timmins, Ontario and 20 kilometres west of the Detour Lake Gold Mine a detailed review of airborne magnetic and electromagnetic data from the “VTEM” survey completed during September (Tri Origin News Release September 22, 2016 has been completed. The geophysical data review resulted in more accurate definition of the key areas defining the westward extension of the Detour and Lower Detour “deformation zones” and rock units which are coincident with the Detour Lake Gold Mine and Lower Detour discovery 20 kilometres to the east. The geophysical review also helped map the relative thickness and conductive nature of the overburden covering the property which was previously poorly understood. In order to assist with planning a future ground program site visits and a preliminary induced polarization test survey were conducted during late November. Results from the test IP survey were positive and indicate that overburden cover will not hinder geophysical surveying and delineation of drill targets. Planning for a detailed follow-up program across this unexplored area will now be completed.
