Oct 31, 2024 (Therese Pettigrew) - Sample B414851 was collected by Bold Ventures in September 2024 from a 10 cm quartz-ankerite vein hosted in silicified mafic schist in an old pit and stripped area, 35 meters northeast of a 2012 sample which returned 14.4 gpt Au. Additional sampling 100 meters further south yielded gold results up to 892 ppb Au from intermediate schist with quartz-ankerite veining in outcrop, 25 meters west of a 2012 sample which returned 462 ppb Au. An angular boulder of intermediate schist with quartz veining 45 meters east of the 2012 sample returned 110 ppb Au. Mineralization on the Wilcorp property is generally hosted in quartz-ankerite veining with pyrite, chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite within approximately east-west shear zones. Bold carried out an Induced Polarization (I.P.) survey across the property in 2012, identifying several east-west IP chargeability anomalies. Limited follow-up prospecting returned values ranging from <5 ppb up to 14.4 gpt Au at historical trenches in the northwest part of the property, where diamond drilling in the 1990s identified a gold-bearing zone which returned 1.8 gpt Au over 7.6 m (Bold Ventures news release Oct 31, 2024).
