A.I.S. Resources Intersects Quartz Veins and Completes RC Drill Program at Fosterville-Toolleen Gold Project in Victoria, Australia

A.I.S. Resources Limited ( TSX: AIS, OTCQB: AISSF ) (the "Company" or "AIS) has completed its first drilling campaign at its Fosterville-Toolleen Gold Project, in Victoria, Australia. Thirty one holes in three lines were drilled to a depth of 60 metres using percussion and reverse circulation drilling. Significant quartz intercepts were encountered close to the gravity anomaly (yellow area). Examination of the lithology showed that we had intercepted the same age of turbidite shales that are present at Kirkland Lake's Fosterville Gold mine. These shales lie underneath the Permian gravels that also contain gold on the exploration licence.

Phil Thomas, CEO commented, "The drill program at our Fosterville-Toolleen Gold Project is proving to be a great success as we've shown that we are in the right area to discover tension veins and spurs full of quartz with gold mineralization. In holes 27 to 31 gold was identified in the assays and this is just the beginning of our drilling program. Using percussion and RC drilling is very economical. Given that quartz gold mineralization occurs in wide quartz veins, fence line drilling and soil sampling will allow us to detect arsenic and other pathfinder elements in these mineralized systems."

Mineralization at Fosterville-Toolleen occurs near the fault intersections where the yellow gravity high is located and ringed by the red line in Fig 2 above.

"It seems we have located the right area to drill, with major quartz intercepts," according to Denis Walsh, AIS' Chief Geologist. "Now we have to better define the structure to identify the mineralized corridors. Arsenic and other pathfinder elements may be very important for our exploration which we are assaying for now. Ore zones at the Fosterville Gold mine are between 2 and 30 m wide and generally conform to the trend of the structural zones. There is also a lithological control which localises mineralisation in competent rock types exhibiting brittle fracturing and brecciation along zones of weakness, which provide open spaces for fluid-flow. The interplay of rock type with folding and faulting produces secondary structures, which although quite localised, host higher-grade gold mineralisation. That's our exploration target."

Top 10 Gold Reserves by Country

Gold is one of the most important metals on the planet. For millennia it has been used in jewelry, art and currency, capturing the collective imagination as a thing of wonder. Gold's association with royalty and wealth has inspired explorers and treasure hunters alike, who put themselves at risk for a chance to strike it rich.

Today, gold's hold on us as a precious metal is no less powerful. Still used for jewelry and as a store of wealth, the metal also has a variety of modern industrial and electronic applications.

Even though gold seems to be everywhere, in reality it's a finite resource. Only 244,000 metric tons of gold have ever been mined, and two-thirds of that has been extracted since 1950. Comparing that amount to the more than 700 million metric tons of copper that have been pulled from the ground provides an idea of how precious a resource gold truly is.

A Guide to Investing in Physical Gold (Updated 2024)

Gold is known as an attractive safe-haven investment and has been used to store wealth during volatile times through history.

It has interesting currency-like tendencies, and retains its purchasing power better than paper currencies.

For that reason, gold market analysts typically recommend that investors build a diversified portfolio with a portion of their wealth in gold bullion. Here the Investing News Network explains what's involved in building and managing a physical gold portfolio.
