Tectonic Metals Inc. Aug. 18 reported that a deep-penetrating Titan-160 ground-based geophysical survey targeting has identified what appears to be low- and high-angle structures coinciding with gold-in-soil anomalies sharing the same geochemistry and host rocks as the gold-rich zones that have provided the bulk of the ore at Northern Star Resources Ltd.'s Pogo gold mine about 22 miles (35 kilometers) to the northwest. The geophysical survey was designed to determine the...
