Highlights
- Hole HMW 22-31 was a deep hole drilled to the southwest of HMW 21-7. The hole drilled 2.0 metres of 8.48 g/t gold. This is the first significant deep gold intercept drilled to the west of the Toussaint. The purpose of the hole was to trace a deep gold zone higher up in the section. This was accomplished.
- Hole HMW 22-29 was drilled to trace two gold zones seen in hole HMW 21-1 to the east. Both gold zones were intersected.
- Hole HMW 22-30 extended two gold zones seen in HMW 21-9 to the east.
Mineralization, Setting and Style
Mineralization at Wilson is present where a volcanic tuff contacts an intrusion. These intrusions are primarily gabbro in composition. The most prospective areas of the Property are along the contacts between volcanic tuffs and intrusions. The rocks at Wilson dip sub vertically.
The Holes intercepted mineralization typical of Wilson. This mineralization is characterized as a beige to pale grey coloured volcanic tuff which has been strongly foliated, sheared, fractured and altered. The mineralization is associated with strong silica, sericite and calcite alteration. Ankerite and chlorite alteration are present to a lesser degree. Quartz veins and veinlets are commonly observed in the mineralized zones. Pyrite is the dominant sulphide mineral.
Branden Haynes, CEO of Hawkmoon, states "Discovering a new gold zone is an excellent way for Hawkmoon to cap off our first drill program at Wilson. The program was a great success and has generated drill targets for the follow up drill program this summer."
