AIS Resources Commences Drilling 12 km East of Fosterville Gold Mine at the Highly Prospective Fosterville-Toolleen Gold Proj...
May 20 2021 - 8:30AM
A.I.S. Resources Limited (TSXV: AIS, OTCQB: AISSF) (the "Company"
or "AIS”) reports that drilling has now commenced on the Company’s
Fosterville-Toolleen Gold Project in Victoria Australia, following
successful interpretation of the ground based gravity survey.
The Fosterville Toolleen Gold Project is located
12 km east of Kirkland Lake’s Fosterville gold mine – currently one
of the richest gold mines in Australia.
Phil Thomas, AIS’s CEO commented, “The initial
test drilling program of 20 holes has now commenced on our
Fosterville-Toolleen Gold Project. We’re very excited to have moved
on to this important next phase of our gold project discovery. If
we locate the tension veins from the big faults within the tight
geological folding envelopes, then it is highly likely that we will
encounter sulphide mineralization carrying gold – similar to
Kirkland Lake’s Fosterville gold mine. The Permian glacial cover is
prognosed to thin out on our tenements, therefore allowing for
shallower drilling to target depth. The folding at the nearby
Kirkland Lake Fosterville gold mine resulted in the formation of a
series of bedding parallel laminated quartz veins and bedding
parallel thrust faults.”
AIS Resources’ Chief Exploration Geologist
Dennis Walsh, who has extensive experience exploring around the
Fosterville gold mine, commented, “Gold and associated sulphide
mineralisation at the Fosterville gold mine is controlled by late
brittle faulting and fracturing. These brittle faults are generally
steeply west-dipping, reverse faults with a series of moderately
west dipping, reverse splay faults formed in the footwall of the
main faults, where gold mineralization is structurally controlled.
Mineralized shoots in the area are typically 4m – 15m thick and
show down-dip and down-plunge dimensions typically ranging from 50m
– 150m by 300m – 2,000m plus. That’s our target for our highly
prospective Fosterville-Toolleen Gold Project. The Fosterville gold
mine has proven this geological model, and we will now be using the
same modeling concept to develop the potential at our
Fosterville-Toolleen Gold Project.”
