Geology & Mineralisation of La Cristina Copper-Gold Prospect - Sierra Maestra Copper Belt, Cuba

Antilles Gold Limited (“Antilles Gold” or the “Company”) (ASX: AAU, OTCQB: ANTMF) advises it has received the attached Report on the Geology and Mineralisation of the La Cristina copper-gold prospect within the Sierra Maestra copper belt in south east Cuba. The La Cristina concession is held in an Exploration Agreement as are two other concessions in the same region with the three properties totalling 53,710ha.


The Report was prepared by the Company’s Exploration Director, Dr Christian Grainger, and Colombian consulting geologist, Riccardo Sierra, and summarises the results of prospecting activities carried out between July and November 2023.

Conclusions and Recommendations

  • The La Cristina project represents an excellent exploration project with high potential for the discovery of both porphyry copper-gold and high-sulphidation gold-copper deposits.
  • A major E-W structural corridor has been located between the Borbon and Arabica prospects that measures 4.5 km x 2.2 km. This zone incorporates overlapping pervasive and intense zones of both advanced argillic and phyllic style hydrothermal alteration styles that indicates the presence of a potentially large porphyry system at depth that has a large exposed lithocap and high- sulphidation style halo over very large dimensions at surface.
  • Numerous zones of high-grade copper-gold mineralization has been identified from initial sampling in numerous historical artisanal underground workings and their immediate vicinities. No detailed exploration has been undertaken within these areas to date and simple surficial exploration programs including surface geochemical sampling and geophysics are expected to return rapid positive results for a following drilling campaign.
  • A detailed ridge and spur soil sampling campaign is suggested to start as soon as possible to efficiently sample large areas on topographic highs geochemically and to prevent sampling in areas with transported cover.
  • Stream sediment sampling of active drainages to discover additional anomalous areas is also suggested to rapidly and cheaply define the additional potential of the larger project area.
  • LIDAR survey of topography with high resolution imagery should be undertaken along with a ground magnetic program over the main mineralized trend of Bourbon-Arabica.
  • Additional detailed geological mapping of prospects and detailed underground sampling and mapping of all historical workings is essential.

Mr Brian Johnson, Chairman of Antilles Gold, said“the Company intended to undertake the low cost prospecting campaign recommended by Dr Grainger as soon as practicable provided it did not impact on resources required for the near-term development of the Nueva Sabana gold-copper mine.”

Trailbreaker Resources Receives Exploration Permit for Swan Target at Atsutla Gold Project

Trailbreaker Resources Receives Exploration Permit for Swan Target at Atsutla Gold Project

Trailbreaker Resources Ltd. (TBK.V) (“Trailbreaker” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce it has received a multi-year area-based exploration permit for the Swan target at the Atsutla Gold Project in northern British Columbia (BC). The permit will allow Trailbreaker to conduct advanced exploration at the Swan target, including geophysical surveying and future diamond drilling, in order to better define the mineralization system.

Trailbreaker is currently planning its 2024 exploration activities for Swan, including an induced polarization (IP) survey covering a strong multi element geochemical anomaly coincident with argillic alteration. The survey is designed to identify any chargeability and resistivity features potentially associated with mineralized alteration zones. As porphyry deposits often form in clusters, additional surface exploration will be conducted concurrently with the IP program to continue exploring for new mineralized targets at the Atsutla Gold Project.

Ross Norman: Gold's Record Highs Driven by China, What Happens Now?

Gold's record move above US$2,400 per ounce has sparked much discussion about price drivers. Speaking to the Investing News Network, Ross Norman of MetalsDaily.com explained China's key role in the metal's increase.

To start, he noted that the buying that took gold to the US$2,050 or US$2,100 level was largely high-quality purchases from central banks, which have been adding the yellow metal to their coffers at a strong pace.

"Central bank buying is quality because it's unlikely to be sold if there's a significant price correction. It's for the very long term — think multi-generational," Norman said. He added that Chinese buying also supported that move.
