Drilling Ohra-Takamine Gold Project
Japan Gold Corp announces encouraging results from geochemical and geophysical surveys at the Ohra-Takamine Gold Project in southern Kyushu. Mutually supporting results from soil and rock geochemistry, spectral alteration analysis, and geophysical gravity data processed for structure detection have defined five new anomalous zones along strike of and parallel to the Ohra-Takamine-Urushi mine corridor.
These results coincide with anomalies previously defined by CSAMT geophysical survey data. Related few highlights are, 1: Five new anomalous exploration targets defined by grid-based geochemical and geophysical programs, 2: CSAMT resistivity anomalies correlate well with gold and pathfinder element anomalism along the mine corridor and further validate drill targets!
"The definition of these new exploration targets, revealing both strike extensions to the known mines, and new parallel zones, is highly encouraging and validates our exploration methodology. These results further support our CSAMT defined geophysical targets. We will now rank all targets and advance the first phase of our scout drilling program", stated John Proust, Chairman and CEO.
The Ohra-Takamine Gold Project lies within the highly gold endowed Southern Kyushu Epithermal Gold Province, from which more than 11 million ounces of gold have been, produced from high-grade epithermal gold deposits. This Project hosts five historic gold mines, the Matsuno, Urushi, Takamine, Ohra, and Aira Yamada Mines, defining a northeast oriented structural corridor.
