AIRBORNE AND GROUND GEOPHYSICAL PROGRAMS
DEFINE NEW DRILL TARGETS AT RLX PROJECT, RED LAKE, ONTARIO.
Tri Origin Exploration Ltd. (TOE:TSX-V) is pleased to announce that a “VTEM” airborne
electromagnetic and magnetic geophysical survey program to evaluate the
entirety of its 30,000 acre RLX property has been completed by Geotech Ltd. of
Aurora, Ontario. An Induced Polarisation (IP) ground geophysical survey was
commenced immediately following the airborne survey and has been completed at
selected areas on the RLX property by Clearview Geophysics Inc. of Brampton, Ontario.
Preliminary data from the airborne survey has been received,
with the final data submissions expected within the month. Tri Origin is
encouraged by the preliminary results received to date, and several high
priority drill targets and areas requiring follow-up exploration have been
identified. The IP survey was carried out to pinpoint drill targets in areas
which had previously shown anomalous levels of gold in soil geochemical
samples. By employing new technology in a large, but little explored portion of
the Red Lake Greenstone Belt, the surveys conducted by the Company have
produced detailed geophysical information unavailable to previous explorers. In
particular, the airborne survey detected orebody scale conductive responses
within a 25 square kilometre portion of the survey area which have never been
tested by diamond drilling.
Based on these encouraging results, the Company is currently
scheduling field activities including geological, geochemical and geophysical
surveying to commence in May and is procuring contractors to conduct diamond
drilling on the recently delineated high priority targets.
The RLX property is located approximately 10 kilometres
southeast of Goldcorp’s Red Lake Mine and adjoins the mine property. The
mines at Red Lake
have produced over 20 million ounces of gold making this one of the premier
gold mining districts in Canada.
At approximately 30,000 acres, RLX remains the largest,
under-explored portion of the Red Lake Greenstone Belt. It is covered by
overburden and is interpreted by Tri Origin to contain Balmer volcanic and
Bruce Channel sedimentary rocks, which are important host rocks for the major
gold deposits of the nearby Red Lake District. This interpretation is supported
by previous work conducted by Tri Origin including prospecting, geological,
geochemical and geophysical surveying as well as preliminary diamond drilling.
To date, only a small portion of the property has been explored and exciting
targets have been delineated. The size of the property, lack of previous
exploration and proximity to one of Canada’s premier gold mining
districts is management’s justification and enticement to continue to
systematically evaluate new targets across the property.
