Targeting more porphyry copper-gold on Tatogga property, BC North of 60 Mining News – August 14, 2020
GT Gold's 2020 exploration is initially targeting Quash Pass, a promising copper-gold-silver target about seven kilometers southwest of the Saddle North porphyry copper-gold deposit on the Tatogga property in northwestern British Columbia.
In order to better implement COVID-19 measures, this year's program at Tatogga is being based out of Bear Paw, a lodge on the property that offers running water, individual rooms, full kitchen, bathrooms, showers and other advantages.
GT Gold Corp. Aug. 10 reported that drills are now turning on the company's Tatogga gold-copper-silver property in northwestern British Columbia, Canada.
After postponing the start of its 2020 Tatogga exploration program due to COVID-19, on Aug. 6 the company began a 10,000-meter drill campaign that will initially target Quash Pass, a promising copper-gold-silver target about seven kilometers (4.3 miles) southwest of the Saddle North porphyry copper-gold deposit on the property.
Airborne and ground geophysics, mapping, soil geochemical sampling and prospecting have identified two large-scale anomalous trends and several adjacent individual targets at Quash Pass.
"(W)e look forward to testing prospective greenfield targets in the Quash Pass area at Tatogga, in a region which is now beginning to show the signs of a newly emerging porphyry district in northern British Columbia," GT Gold President and CEO Paul Harbidge said earlier this year.
In July, GT Gold published an inaugural mineral resource estimate for the large Saddle North deposit.
Based on 41 holes drilled so far, Saddle North hosts 298 million metric tons of indicated resource averaging 0.28% (1.81 billion pounds) copper, 9.36 grams per metric ton (3.47 million ounces) gold, and 0.8 g/t (7.58 million oz) silver; plus 543 million metric tons of inferred resource averaging 0.25% (2.98 billion lb) copper, 0.31 g/t (5.46 million oz) gold, and 0.7 g/t (11.64 million oz) silver.
Committed to the protection of its employees and the residents of northwestern British Columbia, GT Gold said its 2020 exploration program at Tatogga is being carried out in accordance with robust COVID-19 mitigation measures.
