Completed surface and downhole time domain pulse EM surveys on Belledune Grid No. 1 discovery area. The principal sulphide vein-stockwork system occurs within a favourable volcanic rhyolite flow-crystal tuff-andesite rock suite. The stockwork zones range from 1 to 15% sulphide content and are quite conductive at a core size scale. DDH3 was deepened to 354 m and the gold-silver-copper bearing sulphide disseminations and stockwork zones are intersected from surface to 318 m in the hole, the strongest mineralization occurring below 140 m depth. The down hole pulse EM results indicate a strong anomaly at 170 m depth and starting about 75 m southwest of the mineralization encountered in DDH 3. This further suggests that the drilling to date has cut an upper or lateral sulphide stockwork peripheral to the main sulphide concentration. One 350 m drillhole is spotted to test the borehole interpretation and to test for the proximal massive sulphide horizon at depth below the known sulphide stockwork zones.

Aurogin has completed surface and downhole pulse EM surveys on the Belledune Grid No.1 discovery area in New Brunswick in its 50/50 JV with Heron Mines. DDH 3 was deepened to 354 m and the gold-silver-copper bearing sulphide disseminations and stockwork zones are intersected from surface to 318 m in the hole, the strongest mineralization occurring below 140 m depth. The downhole time domain pulse EM results indicate a strong anomaly at 170 m depth starting about 75 m southwest of the mineralization.
