Focused on the Rice Lake Gold Belt
...looking at the bottom right of this magnetic image you will see where the colour meets Sans boundary in grey which represents the hostile side of the fence, we have atleast got some colour,this bright purple structure leading over from San could be the reason for the second drill as these targets show major deformation.( possible gold trap )...
One of these features is a 1.5 km long, roughly east-west trending magnetic high that is cut at three places by northeasterly, Type-16 oriented cross-fractures. Magnetic lows associated with these intersections are interesting since the injection of sulphides by gold-bearing fluids often converts magnetite, a magnetic oxide mineral, to pyrite, a non-magnetic sulphide mineral, resulting in patches of low magnetic intensity.
In the southern part of the survey area, another mafic unit is tentatively interpreted as a distal northwestern extension of the subvolcanically injected gabbro that hosts the Rice Lake and adjacent Cartwright deposits. Importantly, this southernmost mafic unit is also cut by the same regional Type-16 structures that are caused by the late stage deformation event that appears to have mineralized the entire central part of the Rice Lake greenstone belt.
