Orefinders Launches 3-D Geophysical & Artificial Intelligence Modeling for Drill Targeting at its Knight and McGarry Gold Projects

 
 

Orefinders Resources Inc. ("Orefinders" or the "Company") (TSXV: ORX) is pleased to announce that Mira Geoscience has been commissioned to complete integrated 3-D geophysical and geological modeling and Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven exploration targeting programs on Orefinders' Knight and McGarry Gold Projects, in the southern Abitibi Greenstone Belt, Ontario . The two modeling programs are designed to generate high priority drill targets for upcoming drilling campaigns in Q4 2021 through Q2 2022.

 

The Knight Project is located within the Shining Tree district of the southern Abitibi belt about 100 kilometres southwest of Kirkland Lake, Ontario . The 3-D geophysical inversion modeling will be carried out using Orefinders' proprietary high resolution aeromagnetic data set and will be constrained using data from the recently completed Phase 1 drilling campaign (News Releases dated May 10, 2021 and July 26, 2021 ).

 

The McGarry Project is located adjacent to the past-producing (11.5 Moz Au) Kerr Addison mine, near Virginiatown, Ontario . The 3-D integrated geophysical and geological modeling will include newly generated deep-penetrating MT (magnetotelluric) and IP (induced polarization) data as well as public domain aeromagnetic data. Drill targeting at McGarry will apply AI methods to the integrated models along with the extensive historical drill hole database.

 

The 5,000 metre Phase 2 drilling campaign at the Knight Project is expected to kick off  in October, 2021. Drill targets will be identified based largely on the structural model that will be derived from the geophysical inversions and also on recently completed geostatistical analyses of gold distributions at the Tyranite and Duggan exploration target zones.

 

Drilling to test the AI generated targets at McGarry is scheduled for Q2 of 2022. The total metres that will be drilled at McGarry will depend largely on the number and depths of the generated drill targets and is expected to be between 5,000 and 10,000 metres.

 

  Technical Detail on the Geophysical Modeling and Targeting  

 

Geophysical inversion at the Knight Project will benefit from the availability of a proprietary high resolution aeromagnetic data set derived from a heli-borne magnetic survey with 15 metre flight line spacing and 35 terrain clearance. Constraints for the inversion modeling will include geological, magnetic susceptibility and structural data collected from Orefinders' Phase 1 drilling campaign as well as 3-D geological and structural models generated in-house by Orefinders using the drill hole database for both the Tyranite and Duggan target zones.

 

Integrated geophysical and geological modeling at the McGarry Project will include newly generated data provided by the ORION Swath DCIP-MT survey completed on April 2, 2021 by Quantec Geoscience (News Release dated June 11, 2021 ) as well as public domain aeromagnetic data, and an extensive historical drill hole database. Drill targets will be generated by applying AI methods to the analysis of the integrated models and the historical drill hole database.

Top 5 Australian Mining Stocks This Week: Yandal Shares Double on Arrakis Drilling Results

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly round-up of Australia’s top-performing mining stocks on the ASX, starting with news in Australia's resource sector.

This week's top-performing stocks list is dominated by oil and gas companies, alongside gold and lithium companies.

In Australian mining news, the Fair Work Commission ruled that BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) must raise the wages of 2,200 workers at three coal mines in Queensland. The workers in question were employed indirectly through a hiring firm and were being paid significantly less than their peers working directly under BHP.

The case was brought by two worker's unions and based on the Same Job, Same Pay reforms made by the government last year. To align wages, the FWC ruled BHP must raise the labour hire employees' wages by AU$30,000 each.

Pilbara 2.0: Inside Australia’s Newest Gold Frontier

The Central Pilbara region of Western Australia is undergoing a quiet revolution that is rapidly reshaping the global gold exploration landscape.

Once dismissed as a technically challenging and geologically inconsistent terrain, Pilbara is now emerging as one of the world’s most exciting new gold frontiers and drawing serious attention from institutional investors, driven by transformative discoveries, a maturing geological model and a wave of junior explorers tapping into underexplored intrusive-hosted systems.

Anchored by the multimillion-ounce Hemi discovery — one of the most significant gold finds in Australia in over a decade — this region is not just proving its geological potential, but also demonstrating the kind of scale, consistency and margin profile that modern gold investors seek. As the discovery window remains wide open and valuations are still accessible, the Central Pilbara presents a rare opportunity for early exposure to what may become one of Australia’s next tier-one gold districts.

Is Australia on the Brink of a New Mining Super Cycle?

Mining remains as a cornerstone of Australia’s GDP and export earnings, but current global challenges such as trade disputes and price changes may be straining its foundations.

A recent FocusEconomics report tackled Australia’s resource wealth, tracing from the gold rushes of the 1850s to the iron ore and coal booms of the 21st century.
