AIS Resources’ RC Drilling Program Returns Exceptionally High Levels of Antimony in the Eastern Portion of the Fosterville-Toolleen Gold Project
August 11 2021 - 8:00AM
A.I.S. Resources Limited (TSXV: AIS, OTCQB: AISSF) (the
“Company” or “AIS”) announces the discovery of elevated
antimony levels in the eastern portion of the Company’s
Fosterville-Toolleen Gold Project.
AIS Resources CEO Phil Thomas emphasized, “This
is a major breakthrough for our exploration team’s efforts at our
Toolleen Fosterville Gold Project. It is well known that antimony
is a key pathfinder for gold as is evident at the neighbouring
Kirkland Lake Fosterville Gold Mine and the
Mandalay Resources Costerfield Gold Project.
Antimony was the biggest pathfinder element for the Kirkland Lake
Fosterville Gold Mine discovery. Costerfield is producing both gold
and antimony with a gold grade of 15 g/tonne. The Fosterville Gold
Mine is only 10 km and the Costerfield Gold Mine is 31 km from our
Fosterville Toolleen Gold Project.”
We are very encouraged by an exceptionally high
result of 510 ppm Antimony (Sb) returned from
Drill Hole TRC017 in weathered Ordovician rocks located at the
eastern end of the northern traverse. The Company has combined the
RC drilling, soils and gravity structural geology to develop a
robust rigorous exploration program for the coming months. We are
planning follow-up drilling in the vicinity of the higher-grade
Antimony (Sb) results continuing to the east and in the area of
elevated gold in the southern traverse.

The multi-element assays were conducted to test
for pathfinder elements associated with local gold deposits such as
at the Fosterville and Costerfield operations. Typically,
pathfinders such as antimony and arsenic exhibit a greater
footprint than the ore grade gold. Locating elevated areas of
pathfinder mineralisation is very helpful in guiding the focus of
exploration.
