A.I.S. Resources Plans Aggressive 1000+ Soil Sample Program to Follow Up on Exceptional Antimony Pathfinder Results at Fosterville-Toolleen Gold Project
September 14 2021 - 3:00AM
A.I.S. Resources Limited (TSX: AIS, OTCQB: AISSF) (the
“Company” or “AIS”) announces Phase 2 exploration program
beginning with an aggressive 1000 soil sample program to follow up
on the high-grade antimony results at its Fosterville-Toolleen gold
property. The multi-element results for the RC drilling program
conducted at Toolleen have been processed using IoGas
special-purpose software to measure the relationship between gold
and the other elements such as antimony and arsenic to direct the
soil sampling program.
Martyn Element, Chairman of AIS Resources
stated: “Given that antimony was the leading pathfinder element
that led to the discovery of the Kirkland Lake Fosterville Gold
Mine1, one of the world’s lowest cost high-grade gold producers,
AIS is very encouraged by the exceptional antimony grade at its
Fosterville-Toolleen gold property.”
AIS is planning follow-up soil sampling and then
a RC drilling program in the vicinity of the higher-grade antimony
(Sb) results continuing the traverse to the east and in the area of
elevated gold in the southern traverse. AIS will use its XRF gun, a
portable lab quality analyzer that measures element composition, to
assess results in real-time and further refine our direction of
exploration. On-Site Laboratory is awaiting samples for prompt ICP
assay.
Phil Thomas, CEO said, “We have combined the RC
drilling, soils and gravity structural geology to develop a robust
rigorous exploration program for the coming months. This second
phase of exploration will assist in developing our model of gold
deposition in the Ordovician Permian lithology units around our
Fosterville-Toolleen Gold Project. Ordovician lithology is a key
characteristic of the Kirkland Lake Fosterville Gold Mine.”
