Toronto, Ontario - August 31, 2021 (Investorideas.com Newswire) O2Gold Inc. ("O2Gold" or the "Company") (TSXV:OTGO) is pleased to announce the results of the geophysical survey in the Aparecida brownfield.
Key Highlights
Methodology
The geoelectrical survey methodology was chosen because it is known to identify vein structures in the same geological context successfully. The methods are as follows:
The grids used were perpendicular to the vein structures, with variable spacing between 100 and 200 meters and with measuring points every 20 meters.
In Aparecida, due to the mapping having indicated veins with different strikes, a grid was used instead of lines perpendicular to the main structure.
Results
Previous exploration work reported in the Company's National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") report recorded multiple entries from artisanal mines in different veins with various directions, showing a mineralization system with an orthogonal pattern.
The detailed mapping and sampling carried out by the O2Gold team were able to identify some of these records (Figure 1A). Still, the projections are difficult to trace due to the thick colluvial material covering the entire region.
Thus, a geophysical grid of the soil was carried out to assist in interpreting the structures. The interpretation of this work presented a pattern of "anastomosed" veins (Figure 1B), in an area of 650 x 500 meters, with two preferential directions EW and NS, but with other low resistive anomalies (in blue) in directions orthogonal to these main structures, including the vein that feeds the production at the Fortaleza mine. At this mine, the O2Gold team sampled quartz vein chips in channels, obtaining gold values of up to 42.3 g/t.
For the Aparecida target, 1,000 meters of scout drilling are planned to verify the vein system's extension, depth, thickness, and gold grade.
Quality Assurance and Quality Control
All samples were shipped to the SGS lab facility in Medellin, Colombia, where they were prepared and analyzed. They were analyzed using SGS procedure FAA515 to gold (fire-assay on a 50-gram sample with AAS finish) and AAS12C to silver (multi-acid digestion with AAS finish). Over the limit gold was determined by SGS procedure FAG505 (using standard fire-assay on a 50-gram sample with a gravimetric finish).
In line with QAQC best practices, approximately 10% of a 78-sample batch are control samples (three Au-Ag standards: High/Medium/Low grades, two fine blanks, one project blank, and two field duplicates).
SGS is independent of O2Gold. The Company is not aware of any other factors that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the data referred to herein.
