A.I.S. Resources Preliminary Radar Geophysics shows prospective geological structures at Fosterville-Toolleen Gold Property

A.I.S. Resources Limited ( TSX: AIS, OTCQB: AISSF ) (the "Company" or "AIS") announces that the initial results from the Deep Ground Penetrating Radar of the Fosterville-Toolleen Gold Property have been received. Response anomalies are evident in the preliminary results with early output provided by LozaRadar in a colored 2D section set out below. The strong near surface response is yet to be fully interpreted, however, early data analysis suggests the existence of a shallow channel development that may be gold bearing.

Phillip Thomas CEO commented, "Denis Walsh, our Chief Geologist, and I are delighted with the initial results achieved so far and the structures shown by the radar. Fosterville hosts three distinct mineralization styles: (a) refractory gold in fine-grained arsenopyrite (b) visible gold hosted in fault-controlled quartz-carbonate veins associated with stibnite mineralization, and (c) vein-hosted visible gold with little or no associated stibnite. We are seeking to identify styles or variations of (b) or (c) from the data interpreted so far. This is an important phase in the exploration program and drilling will prove up our mineralisation model."

Ordovician basement contact is thought to be represented in part by the aquamarine-grey/yellow contrast depicted in the section below. This means that any reefs or quartz veins containing gold are shallow and less than 25 metres. This is one of the five lines of radar completed. The remaining data is expected to be received in January 2021.

The primary target on the Toolleen tenement EL006001 is Ordovician aged meta-sediments common in the Fosterville area. The setting of EL006001 is located within a favorable structural framework within the Bendigo Zone which hosts the Fosterville deposit. Rocks of the approximately the same age also mapped in various positions across EL006001. Fosterville is principally related to a series of NNW trending reverse faults in the hanging wall of the regional Redesdale Fault whilst 12km to the east Toolleen, is located in the hanging wall of the Heathcote-Mount William fault zone understood from government seismic data to be a significant west dipping thrust.

AIS Resources' Chief Geologist Denis Walsh will further assess the outputs integrating topographical data, available surface and subsurface geological understanding (magnetic and gravity data) and location of reported nuggets to extract the maximum value out of the data to progress exploration for gold deposits. It is expected that understanding the radar results of the survey will significantly enhance further exploration program results.

A soil geochemistry program utilizing a low detection partial extraction method suited to areas of shallow cover is being planned over EL006001.

Regional gravity images of EL006001 show a significant gravity feature that does not show on the magnetic image, indicating a different source rock type than the highly magnetic and highly dense units to the east in the footwall of the Heathcote-Mount William fault zone. The regional gravity dataset is based on broadly spaced stations so a more detailed ground gravity program is planned to confirm the regional and local picture. Subsequently, a drilling program is planned to test for primary and secondary sources of nuggets, results from soil geochemistry and features identified in the radar geophysics and gravity surveys.

To fulfill this goal, the company has assembled a team of highly-qualified professionals with a track record of success in exploration, production, commodity trading and capital markets. A.I.S. 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.

Editor's Picks: Gold Knocks Out Inflation-Adjusted High, Silver Breaks US$42

Gold's record-setting price run continued this week, with yet another new all-time high in the books. Silver also fared well, breaking US$42 per ounce.

According to Bloomberg, gold has now also surpassed its inflation-adjusted all-time high of US$850 per ounce, which it set more than 45 years ago on January 21, 1980. The news outlet notes that at the time the US was dealing with currency issues, inflation and recession concerns.

These are problems that sound all too familiar today. This week brought the release of the latest US consumer price index (CPI) data, which shows a 0.4 percent month-on-month increase for the all-items index — that's ahead of estimates and the most since the start of 2025.
