Virginia Gold Mines makes find in
Quebec with the help of the Beep Mat
A rusty outcrop was discovered during a regional geological reconnaissance
program. A ground follow-up identified a favourable geological context
but bedrock assays revealed only geochemical high values. A Beep Mat crew
followed up and identified nearby six conductive targets. Once dug out,
two trenches revealed only barren sulphides but four revealed high-grade
copper zinc ore. An airborne EM survey and a MaxMin survey were then run,
followed by diamond drilling of the showings.
In the course of the airborne EM follow up, the same Beep Mat crew managed
in six weeks to explain twenty of the airborne EM targets identified by
the airborne survey.
