Driven Capital has updated the proposed and present exploration activities at its Kuyakuz Mountain property, which is contiguous to the Blackwater gold project, British Columbia.
The company performed the soil sampling campaign at the property during May and has discovered three definite geochemical anomalies, which has high amount of copper, lead, silver, zinc and up to 530 ppb of gold. Two geochemical anomalies correspond with magnetic anomalies that were discovered early in the property’s southeast and south sections.
At present, Chris Baldys and a helping team are carrying out the rock geochemical sampling and follow-up reconnaissance mapping campaign at the three regions and priority is given to locations having disclosure of altered bedrock, magnetic appearance and concurrent geochemical anomalies.
BC Ministry of Energy and Mines has agreed to the permit request of Driven to perform an induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey at the Kuyakuz property. The company has confirmed the plan of the survey along with the continuing field reconnaissance response. Terracad Geoscience Services was retained by Driven for conducting line-cutting of around 50 line km and to organize the subsequent survey with Peter E. Walcott & Associates, a geophysical service provider.
Driven's phase I exploration campaign will be closed once the IP survey is completed. The phase II program may start again during the 2012 field season, on the receipt of encouraging results and its plan incorporates a conditional diamond drill for 2,000 m.
