TomaGold announces results of geophysical work on its Obalski property
March 02 2023 - 7:30AM
TOMAGOLD CORPORATION (TSXV: LOT)
(OTCQB: TOGOF) (“
TomaGold” or the
“
Corporation”) is pleased to announce the results
of geophysical work on its wholly owned Obalski property, located 2
km south of Chibougamau, Quebec.
In 2022, borehole geophysical surveys were
conducted by Abitibi Geophysics on the Obalski property. The work
began with the characterization of the electrical properties of the
mineralized zones and the host rocks via borehole logging, which
validated the use of two complementary technologies in a total of
22 drill holes: electromagnetism (EM) in the InfiniTEM XL
configuration and induced polarization (IP) in the H2H-3D-IP
configuration. In both cases, two orthogonal inducing field
orientations were used to excite the mineralized zones, regardless
of their orientation.
The new observed geophysical signatures,
combined with those from the 2021 borehole EM survey (by
Géophysique TMC) and known geological data, have allowed the
construction of a coherent multi-parameter 3D model and established
the following:
- The new data,
specifically from the new mineralization extensions, show an
east-west mineralized corridor with a strike length of nearly 800 m
(see corridors “A” and “B” in Figure 1 below), cut by a
perpendicular north-south fault zone that has been defined over a
distance of 500 m but whose extensions have not yet been
drill-tested.
- The known
mineralization is confined to the two InfiniTEM "A" and "B"
conductor corridors trending N110°, whose extension at depth and to
the east and west have not yet been tested. These off-hole
conductors have good potential as they are located in the immediate
extension of mineralized zones known from drilling and display an
identical geophysical signature (see Figures 2 and 3).
- The source of some
off-hole InfiniTEM and H2H-3D-IP geophysical anomalies partially
defined at the end of the hole could be tested by a simple
extension of existing holes (including holes OBS-22-001, -002,
-022, -024 and -025).
- A chargeable
H2H-3D-IP zone trending N030° is interpreted as a fault or shear
zone that may host significant remobilized mineralization (see
Figures 4 and 5).
- Significant
N110°-trending H2H-3D-IP chargeable anomalies on the southern
footwall of the conductive massive lenses will further guide the
location of test drilling within the modelled large InfiniTEM
plates.
This new data supports a significant expansion
of the Obalski search perimeter and further enhances the property’s
economic potential. Approximately 5,000 metres of drilling is
recommended to test the new geophysical targets. In addition, these
results establish the relevance of InfiniTEM XL for exploration of
the remainder of the Obalski property from the surface and other
available drill holes.
“These results continue to show very good
exploration potential at Obalski,” said David Grondin, President
and CEO of TomaGold. “Our methodical, staged exploration approach
of validating every parameter both geophysical and geological has
allowed us to confirm the potential of the project. Following the
upcoming release of the 2022 drill results for which we are
conducting additional assay testing, we will be drilling additional
holes in a significantly larger area than previously planned.”

About the Obalski propertyThe
Obalski property covers 345 hectares about 2 km south of
Chibougamau, Quebec. Discovered in 1928, the Obalski deposit
produced 100,273 tonnes at grades of 1.14% Cu,
2.08 g/t Au and 6.04 g/t Ag from the A zone between 1964
and 1972, and around 9,000 tonnes at a reported grade of 8.5 g/t Au
from the D zone in 1984 (Source: SIGEOM and Camchib Exploration
internal reports).
