Golden Touch Resources has declared that a number of induced polarisation geophysical surveys conducted at the Rubik Gold Project have discovered high priority drill targets. It is construed that high resistivity responses are linked to shallow intrusives and silicified shear zones, and high chargeability is linked to sulphide mineralization in shallow intrusive and shear zones.
During 2011, drilling in the Rubik Gold Project was targeted on the Gjazuj Prospect region, which is a region of stream sediment gold anomalism.
GOT's drilling results were quite encouraging with nine steeply plunging shear zones being intersected. The zones were gold bearing and hosted greenstone. Since there were additional five identified stream sediment gold anomalous regions with the Rubik Gold Project tenement, high priority evaluation of these regions was given. Induced polaraisation survey that included chargeability and resistivity measurements was believed to provide the best method of quick evaluation.
Induced polaraisation lines were set up to enclose four of the residual stream sediment gold anomalies towards the east of the drilled region. The program consisted of induced polaraisation chargeability and resistivity supplemented by a program of surface sampling, ground magnetic surveying and geological mapping along the survey grid lines.
The poly-pole technique, which has stronger and deeper signal input, was used to survey a total of 26 lines. The magnetic traversing was conducted at 10 m intervals. The induced polaraisation showed the presence of huge anomalous bodies with high induced polaraisation chargeability responses. The magnetic results have offered vital data about the structural regime and lithological boundaries.
Drill testing of high priority targets and probably additional induced polaraisation surveying will be included in the 2012 program.
