79North Inc. Makes New Gold Discovery at the Nassau Gold Project, Suriname26.05.2021 | 13:00 Uhr | GlobeNewswire
Three New Gold Occurrences Discovered at the Carbonara Target 20 Kilometres From the Merian Gold Mine
Jon North, Ph.D., P.Geo., and CEO of the Company, commented "The exploration work at Carbonara is one of the most successful early-stage exploration programs I have ever been involved in. The gold discovery at Carbonara is a completely new gold zone that was discovered very quickly as soon as we started exploring the target. The silica alteration zone at Carbonara is one of the vastest deposits of hydrothermal quartz I have ever seen, which is very encouraging because every geologist knows that gold deposits are also quartz deposits, and this quartz deposit has gold grades up to 4.52 grams gold per tonne. Carbonara may well turn out to be another gold deposit in a regional goldfield that includes the nearby Merian Mine of Newmont Corp. (www.Newmont.com) and Rosebel Mine of IAMGold Corp. (www.Iamgold.com). Accordingly, Carbonara has been added to the top priority target list of our recently announced drilling program that may have to be scaled up because of the potential size of this target which trends for at least 1,600 metres." The Carbonara Grid consists of 40 kilometres of cut lines covering approximately 300 hectares located approximately 20 kilometres southwest of the Newmont Merian gold mine. In the past few years extensive alluvial mining commenced in the Carbonara area. The source of the alluvial gold appears to be a very prominent, steeply sloping, northwest-trending ridge that is coincident with a northwest-trending magnetic anomaly (Exhibit 2). Both the ridge line and the magnetic anomaly are offset by northeast-trending structures that coincide with the most intense alluvial gold mining. The ridge appears to be a zone of massive, secondary, hydrothermal silica that is very resistant to tropical weathering and which has been traced in very sparse outcrops for 1,600 metres. The hydrothermal alteration zone is exposed in three small outcrops each of which are gold-bearing, with individual samples grading up to 4.52 grams gold per tonne. The gold is associated with massive, fine-grained, saccharoidal quartz that contains cross cutting quartz vein stockworks of varying texture from medium-grained discordant quartz veins to chalcedony and chalcedony breccia with pyrite, pyrite box works, and locally specular hematite in fractures. The width of the alteration zone is not known but based on the width of the ridge and outcrops it is probably several metres wide. The host rocks of the alteration zone appear to be fine grained sedimentary rocks that have been replaced by hydrothermal quartz. The cause of the magnetic anomaly coincident with the alteration zone is not known but thought to be a mafic volcanic or intrusive rock, which is also the rock association at the Witlage gold occurrence where the Company has discovered very high gold grades up to 27.98 grams gold per tonne. For context most gold deposits in the Guiana Shield have grades of 1 to 2 grams gold per tonne. Based on the proximity of the northwest-trending Carbonara zone to the nearby northwest-trending gold deposit at Newmont's Merian mine, Carbonara is very likely another gold deposit in this rich regional goldfield.
