Nevada Sunrise Gold Finds 3 Strong Chargeability Anomalies on the Roulette Gold Project

Nevada Sunrise Gold Corporation (TSXV:NEV) reported that ground geophysical surveys at the Roulette Gold Project in White Pine County, Nevada showed 3 strong changeability anomalies. The largest changeability is near the south end of the survey grid, and the 2 of 3 chargeability anomalies were observed to coincide with resistivity highs commonly associated with jasperoid bodies.A multi-element geochemical survey has been planned over the geophysical survey grid.

As quoted in the press release:

The Volterra 3-D Induced Polarization survey was undertaken by SJ Geophysics Ltd. The survey consisted of 17.0 line kilometres, and was intended to map the geophysical properties, resistivity and chargeability of the subsurface rocks. An additional 3.4 kilometres of reconnaissance 2-D lines in the southern half of the Project was also completed along with a magnetic survey on the same survey lines to assist in the mapping of interpreted geological structures.

The results of the survey show three strong chargeability anomalies:

The largest chargeability high is located near the south end of the survey grid, ENE of the Parlay jasperoid gold showing;
A second chargeability high is located in the north central part of the grid, immediately east of the Gambit jasperoid;
A third chargeability high is located on the northernmost line of the survey on strike with the Parlay and Gambit jasperoids and is open to the north.
Two of the three chargeability anomalies are observed to coincide with resistivity highs, which are commonly associated with jasperoid bodies. The high chargeability anomalies possibly reflect significant sulphide content within these bodies. Other resistivity anomalies located along strike of the two known jasperoid outcrops may reflect the presence of additional buried jasperoid bodies. The magnetic survey showed little contrast between the interpreted rock units, which is not unexpected due to the relatively homogenous sedimentary rocks present at Roulette. However, a strong magnetic anomaly was detected on the northern boundary of the survey grid. Other weaker magnetic anomalies within the grid may indicate a NNE trending fault and possible contact zones.

A multi-element geochemical survey is planned over the geophysical survey grid to test for gold-in-soil anomalies and other pathfinder elements. Nevada Sunrise will integrate the geochemical and geophysical results, and select targets for a future drilling program, if warranted.
