Winshear Commences Construction of Drill Roads and Field Camp Ahead of Its Maiden 1,600m Drill Program at the Gaban Gold Project in Peru
18 Juni 2024 - 2:00PM
Winshear Gold Corp. (
TSXV: WINS)
(‘Winshear’ or the ‘Company’), is pleased to report that it has
initiated field activities at the Gaban Gold Project, SE Peru,
including construction of an access road to the Coritiri Gold Zone,
a staging field camp and the preparation of five drill sites in
anticipation of a 1,600m helicopter supported diamond drill
program.
Access to the project area and drill sites is
reached via a nine (9) kilometre foot path and light vehicle road.
The road construction is expected to take around two months to
complete.
Gaban is located in the Puno Orogenic Gold Belt
(“POGB”) at the juncture of the San Gaban and Inambari Rivers,
which then drain into the Madre de Dios basin where extensive
alluvial gold mining covers an 1,800 square kilometre area (Figure
1 and Figure 2). The Company is investigating Gaban as a potential
hard-rock source for the alluvial gold being mined at Madre de Dios
and on the Gaban project itself.
Following the construction of the access road,
Winshear plans on completing at minimum a 1,600m core drilling
program to test several shear-hosted gold zones that have returned
significant gold values in several surface channel sampling
programs. Previous sampling campaigns have outlined a gold
mineralized shear zone extending over a one kilometre by two
kilometre area with quartz vein sampling returning gold assaying up
to 11.2 g/t Au. The gold anomalous zone remains open along strike
to the east and southeast.
The Coritiri Gold Zone was initially identified
from interpretation of airborne magnetic data, flown in 2018, which
inferred the presence of an 8 km x 1 km NW-SE linear target
adjacent to a 6.5 km x 3.0 km northwest-southeast trending magnetic
high (Figure 1). The geophysical anomaly is coincident with a five
(5) km long series of gold-in-stream sediment anomalies located
within the Yanamayo River catchment (Figure 3). The underlying
geology of the area comprises sheared and deformed siltstones and
slates with foliation typically striking northwest-southeast and
dipping moderately to the southwest.
There are several artisanal workings in the
Yanamayo catchment that develop placer gold deposits where Winshear
field crews have observed local alluvial miners extracting nuggets
weighing up to 54 grammes. There are several prospect pits and
short adits on outcropping quartz veins where visible gold has been
sampled and mapped.
Winshear’s proposed Gaban drill program will be
the first ever carried out on the property with the intent of
testing the width of the shear zone hosting the gold mineralized
quartz vein zones.
