The survey covers staked claims acquired on behalf of a gold and base metal exploration Alliance entered into between Tri Origin and Sumac Mines Ltd. (“Sumac”) a subsidiary of Sumitomo Metal Mining Co. Ltd. (“Sumitomo“). Sumac is funding early-stages of exploration conducted by the Alliance and Tri Origin is the operator.
A large number of electromagnetic (EM) anomalies were detected throughout the survey area. Many of these responses exhibit characteristics indicating that they represent bedrock conductors which may be caused by covered or buried sulphide occurrences. Because of its size, the survey area was divided into four segments which are to be explored sequentially by the Alliance. Tri Origin and Sumac will select one of the four areas to be the initial target area (Target Area 1) for detailed exploration. Final data is now being evaluated to better define the EM responses and prioritize them for the next phase of work to be conducted at Target Area 1during the summer and fall of 2016. Shareholders will be informed of the details of this upcoming program upon its commencement.
The survey was flown by Geotech Ltd of Aurora, Ontario and collected VTEM-plus electromagnetic and magnetic data over a survey grid of 3,191 line-kilometres.
