Great Pacific Gold (GPAC) has completed a mobile magnetotelluric (MobileMT) survey across its Kesar gold tenement as the company continues to advance the mine.
The airborne geophysical survey was conducted with 100m line spacing and identified multiple high-priority drill targets. The findings will be instrumental in refining GPAC’s exploration strategy for Kesar.
“A high-grade discovery at Kesar has the potential to be transformational for Great Pacific Gold,” GPAC chief executive officer Greg McCunn said.
“With our diamond drill program, we have been vectoring in on high-grade mineralization that has been observed in rock chips, soil samples and mapping.”
Recent fieldwork in the East Vein zone has revealed significant mineralisation, with channel sampling returning high-grade gold results including 38m averaging 2.6 grams per tonne of gold.
Drilling activities remain ongoing at the Hampore target. GPAC has also initiated a Kesar-wide airborne magnetics survey to complement the MobileMT data.
“The encouraging results at Anteruno, despite being south of the main target area identified by the MobileMT survey, supports our thesis of an extensive mineralised system at Kesar,” McCunn said.
“Given the success of the program to-date, we are expecting to continue drilling with one diamond drill rig at Kesar through April to expand upon the initial results.”
