The Work Plan Winter 2016/17

  • Regional Bottom of Till (BOT) sampling
  • Drilling over 1800 BOT holes first systematic test to:
  • Track dispersion in glacial cover;
  • Geophysics
  • Gold mineralization at Rajapalot has a strong magnetic,

induced polarization (IP) and conductive response;

  • New IP and ground magnetic survey to increase coverage;
  • Infill of existing magnetic survey to better control recognition
  • f fold closures to trap gold;
  • Diamond Drilling of Targets – 10,000 metres
  • Drill focus around known targets (60% budget);
  • Test targets over larger area after BOT program (40%).

Homestake vs Rompas-Rajapalot

Homestake Formation

  • Homestake

Mine, South Dakota, produced > 40Moz of gold

5 km

  • Same age rocks, setting and post-peak metamorphic

emplacement of large intrusives drives hydrothermal systems

  • Similar strong stratigraphic-structural control
  • Similar alteration mineral assemblages
  • Palokas requires drilling to locate structural

stratigraphic traps Rompas (Vein style) Rajapalot (Disseminated style)
