Fulcrum Metals PLC has completed its autumn exploration programme at the Big Bear Gold Project in Ontario, Canada. The campaign involved the collection of 637 soil samples across the Schreiber-Pyramid, Twomey, and Schreiber Johnston Gap areas, with assays to follow for multi-element analysis.
The work builds on the 2023 soil sampling programme, which returned anomalous gold values up to 0.93 g/t. The latest sampling has both extended existing soil grids in the Schreiber-Pyramid and Twomey areas and expanded the strong soil anomaly to the west of Schreiber Pyramid into the Schreiber Johnston Gap, which remains open to the west.
Previous rock sampling completed in 2020 returned multiple high-grade results, including 15 samples grading over 10 g/t Au, with the highest value reported at 139 g/t Au.
Assay results from the current programme are expected to guide follow-up trenching and drill targeting.
Key highlights from the current programme include:
- Extension of soil grids that previously reported highly anomalous gold values of up to 929 ppb (0.93g/t).
- New soil grids covering areas recommended for further detailed work around the Schreiber-Pyramid and Twomey areas.
- Extension of a very strong soil anomaly to the west of the Schreiber Pyramid, known as Schreiber Johnston Gap, which is open further to the west.
The 2023 soil sampling programme was part of a wider exploration programme across the Cook Lake – Schreiber Pyramid target area, which delivered:
· Identification of a 3km gold bearing corridor, open along strike and to the north.
· A database from 2020 of over 37 rock samples exceeding 1g/t Au, including 15 high-grade samples over 10g/t, up to 139g/t.
· Nine areas of highly anomalous soil values, up to 0.93g/t Au.
· Four drill ready prospects and five additional prospects identified for target development.
· VTEM geophysical surveys identified five further priority exploration target areas.
Ryan Mee, Chief Executive Officer of Fulcrum, commented: “Big Bear is a highly prospective project with multiple drill and exploration targets, high grade gold in soils of up to 0.93g/t and rock samples returning up to 139g/t.
“The objective of this latest soil sampling programme is to build on the success of the 2023 programme and generate additional exploration and drill prospects in what is a proven high grade gold corridor open for expansion.
“We look forward to reporting on the assay results from this autumn exploration programme, which complements the on-going work being conducted on the Company’s tailings projects in Kirkland Lake, Ontario.”
