Pacton Identifies Vein Hosted Gold at Friendly Creek in Western Australia
Vancouver, British Columbia - TheNewswire - July 12, 2019 - Pacton Gold Inc. (TSXV:PAC) (OTC:PACXF) (the "Company" or "Pacton") is pleased to announce that prospecting work at the Friendly Creek mining lease - one of Pacton's Egina area gold properties in Western Australia's Pilbara Craton, has identified primary quartz vein hosted visible gold mineralization. Numerous samples have been discovered and analysis suggests it is source gold from the underlying bedrock.
Highlights:
- Numerous samples of quartz hosted gold. Initial prospecting work has discovered gold at surface associated with quartz veining on granted Mining Lease M47/373, within Pacton's Friendly Creek tenement package.
- Source Gold at Surface. Gold specimens associated with quartz were liberated from veins within underlying bedrock, proximal to the source. The trend of gold mineralization at Friendly Creek is located along a parallel trend, defined by historic workings, which extend for greater than 4 km.
- Ongoing Exploration at Egina. Follow up work will include additional mapping and prospecting to identify underlying structures with potential to host shear-hosted gold mineralization. This will be followed by drill testing. Pacton also plans to conduct targeted, small scale surface sampling of marine terrace gravels on its Friendly Creek mining lease.
