Belmont Resources Ltd. High Resolution UAV Magnetic Survey Delineates Listwanite Gold Zone on AJ Gold Project

01.10.2020  |  Accesswire
VANCOUVER, Oct. 1, 2020 - Belmont Resources Ltd. (TSXV:BEA)(FRA:L3L2) has now received the results of the recently completed drone-based magnetic survey over the company's A-J property in the Greenwood Mining Camp in Southern B.C. The Greenwood Mining Camp is well known for historic gold and copper production. The majority of this historic production was from the Phoenix deposit, 4 km to the northwest of the A-J property, from which over 520 million pounds of copper and 910,000 ounces of gold was produced1.

The AJ property contains two past producing gold mines Athelstan & Jackpot which produced 7,600 ozs Au & 9,000 ozs Ag (Minfile 082ESE047). The two mines and at least 9 known gold mineralized zones extending over an approximate area of 240 by 1,000 metres are associated with listwanite rock. Listwanite, a key ultramafic rock alteration is directly associated with several multi-million ounce gold deposits in British Columbia, Atlin, Bralorne and Barkerville as well as the Motherlode District in California.

AJ Geology

Belmont's detailed, low-level magnetic survey of the A-J property comprised 95 line km, with magnetic data collected on 25 m spaced, north-south trending lines. The mag survey, combined with the company's recent Lidar survey and with historic exploration data from the property, has identified a number of priority targets for follow-up work.

The mag survey supports the presence of 2 prominent northwest trending faults (the Jackpot and Oro faults from prior geological mapping)2. It also delineates the west-northwest trending zone of listwanite between these 2 faults. Listwanite is identified as a magnetic low signature as a result of the destruction of magnetite during the alteration process.

AJ Magnetics

Known near-surface mineralization on the property is primarily hosted within this band of listwanite which has been emplaced along deep-seated low-angle north-dipping faults. These deep faults, along with the later, steep Jackpot and Oro fault zones, provide pathways for later intrusive emplacement and for mineralizing fluids.

One priority target that has resulted from Belmont's recent surveys is located at depth below the J-34 and A zones. The target area is located along a tributary to Skeff Creek, a well-known placer gold creek. In 2002 and 2003, trenching was completed at the J-34 and A zones by a previous operator.

A Zone

At the A zone, 2002 historic chip samples returned 35.2 g/t Au over a 3 m true thickness in one trench and 26.2 g/t Au over a 2.5 m true thickness in a second section3.

1986 historic chip sampling at the A zone returned grades from 0.75 g/t Au to 19.97 g/t Au 5

J34 Zone

Two hundred metres to the northwest at the J-34 zone, historic chip samples returned grades of 6.6 g/t Au over a 3.7 m true thickness in one area, and 1.9 g/t Au over 6.8 m true thickness in a second area.4

AJ Geology - Mineralized Trend

1986 historic chip sampling in this zone returned grades of 17.75 g/t Au, 19.28 g/t Au and 23.97 g/t Au.5

The target area is untested by any previous drilling on the property. Intrusive rocks are interpreted to underlie the shallow north-dipping band of listwanite that hosts the near surface mineralization in this area.

Belmont is considering other exploration methods, including IP (induced polarization) geophysics to further refine this and other quality targets on the property prior to a drill program. A multi-year area-based exploration permit application has been submitted to the Ministry of Energy and Mines which will cover the proposed IP survey and drilling on the property.
