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."

Resources is currently focused on developing its pair of gold projects in Australia, the Yalgogrin orogenic gold project and the Toolleen-Fosterville gold project.

The Yalgogrin orogenic gold project is located in the historic West Wyalong gold corridor, which produced 445,700 ounces of gold between 1894 and 1921. A.I.S. Resources has confirmed existing gold assays at Yalgogrin after reviewing 12 drill core samples from the property. The advanced-stage Yalgogrin gold project has seen extensive gold production over the past 100 years, including three major gold prospects that are in operation as of Q3 2020: Cadia Newcrest, the Lake Cowal gold mine and the Northparkes copper-gold mine.

Indicator Minerals in Gold Exploration (Updated 2024)

Indicator Minerals in Gold Exploration (Updated 2024)

Indicator minerals, also known as pathfinder minerals, are used by those engaged in mineral exploration to effectively narrow down the search area for many different types of ore deposits.

When found as grains in sediments and/or rocks, these minerals give clues as to the presence and location of specific types of mineralization. They tend to be used in the search for gold, copper, nickel, tungsten, diamond and platinum-group metals deposits.

In indicator mineral-based exploration programs, sediments and rocks are either geochemically tested or visually inspected for clues about the distance and direction of their source. When it comes to visual inspection, rocks are examined for certain grain morphologies and surface textures in order to obtain information about transport distance and bedrock source.
