Altamira Gold Corp. Identifies Two New Mineralized Zones at Cajueiro Project, Brazil

01.08.2017  |  FSCwire

Vancouver, BC (FSCwire) - Altamira Gold Corp. (TSXV: ALTA) (FSE: T6UP) (USA: EQTRF), (“Altamira” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has identified two new previously unrecognized mineralized zones in recently constructed trenches at the Cajueiro project located in western Brazil. The trenching program was designed to test previously untested surface showing and gold in soil anomalies at the Cajuiero project ahead of drilling, with a view to expanding the existing resource of 8.64Mt @ 0.78g/t gold as Indicated resources and 9.53Mt @ 0.66g/t gold as Inferred resources and a further 1.37Mt @ 1.61g/t as Inferred resources in saprolite. Highlights are as follows:-

  • Two new zones of mineralization have been identified at both Baldo East and Toninho comprising multiple parallel structures similar to known zones at Crente and Baldo 
  • Results from the initial five trenches at Baldo East, located 500m east of Baldo, have been received and include 3m @ 6.54g/t gold including 1m @ 17.54g/t gold, and 6m @ 2.26g/t gold, and 3m @ 5.83 g/t including 1m @ 16.24g/t, and 1m @ 9.15g/t, and 9m @ 1.19 g/t including 1m @ 5.62g/t 
  • Results from the first trench at Toninho located 900m west of Crente, have been received and include multiple mineralized sections. Highlights include 5m @ 4.35g/t and 10m @ 1.16 g/t
  • Six diamond drill holes completed to date on three previously untested targets at Cajuiero with results pending
  • The program of mechanical trenching has been expanded from the planned 1,200m to 3,450m with 2,062m completed to date in fourteen separate trenches

In terms of drilling, six diamond drill holes have been completed thus far on the Baldo East (three holes), Toninho (two holes) and Morro Verde (one hole) targets, and a seventh hole is currently in progress at the Toninho target which is located immediately west of the Crente deposit at Cajuiero (see attached map). Results are currently pending on all of the holes completed to date.

Baldo East

The Baldo East target area is located approximately 500m due east of the Baldo resource (comprising Inferred resources of 1.32Mt @ 0.78 g/t gold + 0.31Mt @ 3.03 g/t gold as saprolite) and constitutes an important previously untested gold-in-soil anomaly and a series of high grade rock samples from surface which range from 3.4 to 118.4 g/t gold. A series of NNW trending trenches have been completed at approximately 100m spacings and have identified a series of previously unrecognized WNW-trending mineralized structures (see map) extending over +250m of strike length which are open to the east and west. Significant results from the trenching program are as follows:-

Trench 10

  1m @ 3.49g/t

+2m @ 0.88g/t

+3m @ 6.54 g/t incl. 1m @ 17.54g/t

+6m @ 2.26 g/t  

Trench 13

  1m @ 0.72g/t

+3m @ 5.83 g/t incl. 1m @ 16.24g/t

Trench 18

  1m @ 9.15g/t

+2m @ 1.66g/t

+9m @ 1.19 g/t incl. 1m @ 5.62g/t

Results are currently pending on three diamond drill holes (96, 97 and 99) which were completed under these trenches.

Tonino

The Toninho target area is a relatively small gold-in-soil anomaly but is coincident with several small historic placer workings and is located 900m west of the Crente resource (Indicated resources of 8.64Mt @ 0.78 g/t gold + Inferred resources of 5.83Mt @ 0.63 g/t gold and an additional 0.36Mt @ 1.56g/t gold as saprolite). The target has never been tested by trenching or drilling. The first trench at Toninho revealed multiple mineralized zones which appear to trend NE-SW and are currently open to the NE and SW. Results from the initial trench are as follows:- 

Trench 14

  5m @ 4.35g/t

+5m @ 0.51 g/t

+3m @ 0.76 g/t

+1m @ 0.67 g/t

+10m @ 1.16 g/t

+1m @ 0.73 g/t

+1m @ 0.92 g/t

+2m @ 0.51 g/t

These initial results from the Toninho target area are highly encouraging and appear to indicate the presence of multiple new mineralized zones in close proximity to the existing Crente resource. Results are currently pending on two holes (100 and 101) at Toninho.

Morro Verde

The Morro Verde target is located approximately 1.5km NE of Baldo and is a significant gold-in-soil anomaly. Three trenches have been completed over the target to date and results on one trench have returned modest results including 1m @ 0.63g/t and 1m @ 1.36 g/t gold. However, results are pending on an additional two trenches and one diamond drill hole (98).

The trenching and drilling work conducted thus far at Cajueiro has been successful in identifying two new mineralized zones over three of the targets that have been tested to date, namely Baldo East and Toninho, where total strike lengths have yet to be determined. Owing to the success of the trenching program a decision has been taken to expand the trenching program from the initial 1,200m reported on 15th June (see press release) to a total of 3,450m of which 2,062m has been completed thus far.
