Winshear Discovers New Outcropping Gold Mineralisation at its Gaban Gold Project in the Puno Gold Belt, Peru
July 06 2021 - 7:00AM
Winshear Gold Corp. (
TSX-V: WINS)
is pleased to report that it has received gold assay results from
an additional 199 bedrock channel samples taken in April and May of
2021 at the Gaban Gold Project in southeastern Peru.
Gaban is located in the Puno Orogenic Gold Belt
("POGB") at the juncture of the San Gaban and lnambari Rivers. The
two rivers drain into the Madre de Dios basin 38 kilometres
(km) to the north where extensive alluvial gold
mining covers an 1,800 square kilometre area (Figure 1).
Outcropping gold-bearing veins and shear zones at Gaban are
hard-rock sources for the alluvial gold being mined on the Gaban
concession itself, and possibly for the alluvial gold being mined
at Madre de Dios basin downstream. The Company continues to map and
sample in the vicinity of its proposed drill sites to improve
targeting of the drill holes currently being permitted.
Highlights
- Of the 199 new samples, 47 samples contain anomalous gold
(greater than 0.05 grams per tonne (g/t));
- The highest value among the new samples, 32.35 g/t gold, is the
highest gold assay on the property to
date.
- Three anomalous samples containing as much as 6.95 g/t gold
define an emerging new anomalous zone 1.5 km northwest of the main
Coritiri anomaly, provisionally named the Yanamayo Target.
- The new sampling has also added important details about
gold-bearing shear zones which will help improve drill hole
targeting.
- This project has never been drill tested.
Dr. Mark Sander, President of Winshear,
commented: "The 199 new samples at Gaban were taken to improve our
understanding of gold distribution in the Coritiri anomaly around
proposed drill sites currently being permitted. Three new samples
taken 1 km to the northwest of Coritiri contain elevated gold
grades and point to another emerging outcropping gold target. We
will follow up this new zone and extend our sampling to the east
and south as the field season progresses to better define the
extent of the new target area.
"Winshear intends to drill the first holes ever drilled in the
Coritiri anomaly as soon as permission is received."
Coritiri Gold Zone
Coritiri was initially identified from
interpretation of airborne magnetic data from a survey flown in
2018, which inferred the presence of an 8 km x 1 km NW-SE linear
target adjacent to a 6.5 km x 3.0 km northwest southeast trending
magnetic high (Figure 2). The geophysical anomaly is coincident
with a 5 km long series of gold-in-stream sediment anomalies
located within the Yanamayo River catchment (Figure 3). The
underlying geology in the area comprises sheared and deformed
siltstones and slates with foliation typically striking
northwest-southeast and dipping moderately to the southwest.
There are numerous artisanal workings in the
Yanamayo catchment that exploit placer gold deposits, where
Winshear field crews have observed local alluvial miners extracting
numerous nuggets, the largest of which weighed 54 grammes. There
are several prospect pits and adits developed on outcropping quartz
veins, some exposing visible gold.
The new channel sample assays reported here were collected from
creek-side and excavated outcrops in Winshear's field campaigns of
April and May 2021. Summary statistics of the sample set
include:
Of the 199 new bedrock channel samples reported in this press
release :
- 13 samples returned between 0.50 - 32.35 g/t Au
- 27 samples returned between 0.10 - 0.50 g/t Au
- 7 samples returned between 0.05 - 0.10 g/t Au
- 141 samples returned between 0.005 - 0.05 g/t Au
- 11 samples returned below detection (0.005 g/t Au)
Of the total 904 bedrock samples collected to date:
- 68 samples returned between 0.50 - 32.35 g/t Au
- 93 samples returned between 0.10 - 0.50 g/t Au
- 54 samples returned between 0.05 - 0.10 g/t
Au
- 546 samples returned between 0.005 - 0.05 g/t Au
- 143 samples returned below detection (0.005 g/t Au)
Locations and grade ranges of all bedrock
samples in the Coritiri area are plotted on Figure 4, revealing the
dimensions of the bedrock anomalous zones.
On June 10, 2021, Winshear announced that it has
completed and submitted its Declaración de Impacto
Ambiental (DIA), the suite of environmental and social
studies required to be completed ahead of drilling at its
Gaban gold project. The Company looks forward to revealing the
depth dimension of the surface bedrock gold anomaly at Coritiri
that provided a source of local alluvial gold deposits and perhaps
of the large Madre de Dios alluvial gold fields downstream.
Technical Information
William McGuinty P. Geo. of OTD Exploration
Services Inc., a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument
43-101, has reviewed and approved the contents of this news
release. Mr. McGuinty has visited Winshear's Gaban exploration
project and reviewed sampling methods and quality assurance /
quality control (QA/QC) programs for the project.
Channel samples are taken from exposed outcrops
and cut to capture the best available angle to the orientation of
the sampled structure. Samples collected in the field are
accompanied by third party, certified gold standards, sample blanks
and duplicates, then transported by Winshear personnel to the
Certimin S.A. laboratory in Juliaca, Peru. Samples are processed by
Certimin S.A. in Juliaca and prepared sample splits are transported
and assayed by the Certimin S.A. Laboratory in Lima, Peru. Samples
are assayed for gold using fire assay with an AA finish. Assays
currently use a 50 gram charge. Samples are also tested using a
multi-element ICP-OES package. No standards were inserted for the
multi-element suite. All samples are returned to the Company and
stored at secure facility in Juliaca.
About Winshear Gold Corp
Winshear Gold Corp. is a Canadian-based minerals
exploration company that is currently advancing the Gaban Gold
Project in the Puno region of Peru. Gaban is a possible hard-rock
source for the modern-day alluvial gold rush underway in the Madre
de Dios basin downstream; Winshear is investigating the project for
potential to host significant volumes of potentially minable gold
resource.
The Company is also conducting fully funded
arbitration proceedings against the Tanzanian Government to recover
its investment and damages for the expropriated SMP gold project in
Tanzania.
