Gold Bull Resources Corp. (TSX-V: GBRC) (“
Gold
Bull” or the “
Company”) is pleased to
announce the commencement of a Geophysical Survey known as a
Controlled Source Audio Magnetotellurics (
CSAMT)
within its 100% owned Sandman Project (“
Sandman”
or the “
Project”) located in Humboldt County,
Nevada, USA.
HIGHLIGHTS & UPDATE:
- Ground Geophysics is proving an efficient technique for
targeting mineralization undercover at Sandman
- CSAMT can detect resistivity contrasts in the rocks below the
surface which assists in defining and ranking high priority drill
targets
- Drill program planned to commence upon receipt of geophysical
data – Q4 2021
Gold Bull Vice President - Exploration, David Johnson
commented:
Areas
prospective for gold within the Sandman project are extensively
covered by wind-blown sand, concealing the geological indicators of
mineralizing processes we might otherwise observe at surface. We
are drawing on the management team’s experience applying surface
geochemistry and geophysics to covered terrains in Australia and
Africa. Orientation lag geochemical sampling over the Silica Ridge
deposit provided encouragement that the technique can work in this
setting, and analysis of the drill hole geochemical data from the
Sandman deposits aids our understanding of pathfinder element
associations. CSAMT is a proven geophysical technique in epithermal
gold exploration, particularly in Nevada. We are integrating these
new datasets with existing geological mapping, drilling, ground and
airborne geophysical surveys, using our understanding of epithermal
mineral systems and orientation over known deposits at Sandman. Our
current exploration model, discussed in the recent press release,
is focused on the search for a world-class gold
orebody.
BACKGROUND
DIAS Geophysical of Saskatoon SK has commenced a
Controlled Source Audio Magnetotelluric (CSAMT) survey (Figure 1)
within the Sandman project, starting with a set of north-south
oriented traverses covering a target zone east of the Silica Ridge
deposit. Reconnaissance surface geochemical sampling, using a
method akin to lag sampling of desert deflation pavement material
(refer to Carver, R., Chenoweth, L.M., Mazzucchelli, R., Oates,
C.J., & Robbins, T. (1987). “Lag” — a geochemical sampling
medium for arid regions. Journal of Geochemical Exploration, 28,
183-199), has provided encouraging initial results and infill
sampling will be conducted prior to completion of the CSAMT survey.
CSAMT lines are also planned to cover the Abel Knoll deposit, to
aid planning of drilling to follow up the intersection of 90 m (295
ft) at 0.6 g/t Au from 76.2 m (250 ft) in hole SA-0031 (refer to
press release “Gold Bull reports significant new gold
mineralization outside of current resource at Sandman including:
90m at 0.6 g/t Au” dated July 28, 2021).
Controlled Source Audio Magnetotelluric (CSAMT)
surveying is an electromagnetic technique utilizing naturally
occurring EM waves propagating in the waveguide formed by the
magnetosphere and the Earth’s surface. The EM waves are induced by
regional and global lightning strikes and the interaction of the
solar wind with the Earth’s magnetosphere. Scattering of the EM
waves by structures within the Earth produce perturbations in the
time-varying electric and magnetic fields measured at surface,
which can be numerically processed to yield images of those
structures, which are in turn interpreted to determine the
locations of faults that may have acted as conduits for
mineralizing hydrothermal fluids. For instance, the interface
between the Triassic metasedimentary basement rocks and the
overlying Tertiary volcanic and volcaniclastic sequence is the
locus of a strong contrast in electrical resistivity, which is
readily imaged using CSAMT. Faults offsetting the Triassic-Tertiary
contact are potential sites for gold mineralization. Also, adularia
alteration of the Tertiary rocks, often associated with gold
mineralization, imparts high electrical resistivity, contrasting
strongly with the argillic and propylitic altered, more
electrically conductive country rocks. Historic CSAMT data
collected over the known deposits at Sandman provides useful
orientation information on this geophysical technique.
NEXT STEPS
Targets identified by interpreting the CSAMT
geophysical data in conjunction with “lag” geochemical sampling
data will be tested as part of the drilling programme planned for
this winter.

ABOUT SANDMAN
In December 2020, Gold Bull purchased the
Sandman Project from Newmont. Gold mineralization was first
discovered at Sandman in 1987 by Kennecott and the project has been
intermittently explored since then. There are four known pit
constrained gold resources located within the Sandman Project,
consisting of 21.8Mt @ 0.7g/t gold for 494,000 ounces of gold;
comprising of an Indicated Resource of 18,550kt @ 0.73g/t gold for
433kozs of gold plus an Inferred Resource of 3,246kt @ 0.58g/t gold
for 61kozs of gold. Several of the resources remain open in
multiple directions and the bulk of the historical drilling has
been conducted to a depth of less than 100m. Sandman is
conveniently located circa 25-30 km northwest of the mining town of
Winnemucca, Nevada.
