Generation Mining Begins VTEM(TM) Max Survey on Nova Scotia Base Metal Project

23.07.2018  |  GlobeNewswire

TORONTO, July 23, 2018 -- Generation Mining Ltd. (CSE:GENM)(“the Company”) is pleased to report that final staging by technical crews from Geotech Ltd. of Aurora, Ontario, is under way for a helicopter-borne Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM™ Max) and magnetics survey, of approximately 1000 line-kilometres, over the Company's Kennetcook, Nova Scotia base metal (Zn, Pb, Cu, Au and Ag) project. The modern VTEM™ Max method is ideally suited for locating the discreet conductive anomalies associated with deeply buried sulphide deposits. The stated objective of the survey is to target large sedimentary-hosted Zinc-Lead-Ag MVT deposits in the near surface to 600m depth range.

The Kennetcook project consists of 1277 claims (200 km2), currently held by the Company, in East Hants and Colchester Counties in Nova Scotia. The exploration licenses are parallel to the Kennetcook River, to the northwest, and straddling the low to highland transition along the southwest to northeast trending Rawdon Fault Zone (RFZ). Upon considerable technical review by Stevens Geophysics Inc., compilation, geophysical modelling and interpretation, the Company asserts that a 60km segment of the RFZ, and immediate geologic surroundings, has the potential to host large tonnage economic deposits of Zn-Pb-Ag, Cu or Au mineralization accumulated over time from deeply sourced metal rich fluids which were structurally focused by the RFZ.

The Kennetcook project lies in the Windsor-Kennetcook Basin of Nova Scotia, one of many sub-basins of the late Devonian to early Permian age Maritimes Basin that underlies parts of the northeastern United States and Atlantic Canada. The Windsor-Kennetcook Basin contains a range of known Mississippi Valley Type (MVT) base metal (Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag) and Ba-Sr type mineralized deposits nearby such as the no longer producing Gays River (Zn-Pb), Walton (Ba-Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag), Brookfield (Ba) and Smithfield (Zn-Pb) mines. MVT Pb-Zn deposits belong to a spectrum of sedimentary hosted base-metal deposits that include sedimentary exhalative (SEDEX) deposits, and also carbonate-hosted replacement (CRD) Ag-Pb-Zn deposits. The MVT deposits in the region would typically occur at the contact between the terrestrial sediments of the Horton Group and carbonates and evaporates of the Windsor Group.

The VTEM™ Max system is advertised by the manufacturer to be one of the most innovative airborne electromagnetic system to be introduced in more than 30 years. The receiver design using the advantages of modern digital electronics and signal processing delivers low-noise levels. Coupled with a high dipole moment transmitter, the result is high resolution and depth of investigation in precision electromagnetic measurements. Key features include:

  • Superior Exploration Depth – Over 800 metres in certain environments
  • Low Base Frequency (30 Hz) for Penetration through conductive cover
  • High Spatial Resolution – 2 to 3 metres
  • Improved Interpretability due to Receiver-Transmitter symmetry
  • Spotting drill targets directly off of the airborne results
  • Excellent resistivity discrimination and detection of weak anomalies
