Sixty North GOLD Reports Seven High-Priority Drill Targets FOR VMS Mineralization from Its Recently Completed Vtem(tm) Plus Airborne Geophysics Survey over the MON Property, 45 Km North of Yellowknife, Nwt
SIXTY NORTH GOLD REPORTS SEVEN HIGH-PRIORITY DRILL TARGETS FOR VMS MINERALIZATION
FROM ITS RECENTLY COMPLETED VTEMTM PLUS AIRBORNE GEOPHYSICS SURVEY OVER THE
MON PROPERTY, 45 KM NORTH OF YELLOWKNIFE, NWT
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 2, 2019 (Newsfile Corp.)
Sixty North Gold Mining Ltd. (the “Company” or “Sixty North Gold”) – (CSE:SXTY, Frankfurt:2F4, OTCQB:SXNTF)
is pleased to announce that Geotech Ltd. has completed a 135 km helicopter-borne VTEMTM Plus, time domain
electromagnetic and ho rizontal magnetic gradiometer survey across the Mon Property. This system was
selected to trace the outcropping Ag, Au, Pb, Zn enriched VMS-style mineralization recently discovered on the
property (see news release November 6, 2018). The final report is expected to take 4 to 6 weeks to complete,
however the initial results are promising.
Massive, semi-massive and disseminated galena, sphalerite, and tetrahedrite was identified within mixed mafic
volcanic, felsic tuff and chert, in the 2018 rock sampling program. A 2,500 m long contact of mixed mafic and
felsic tuffs hosts numerous structurally and stratigraphically controlled massive and disseminate sulphides and
weakly gossanous schist zones discovered in late fall, 2018, and referred to as the Nelson Lake Deposit.
Seven isolated weakly to strongly conductive anomalies ranging from single line (<200m long) to 720m long
zones have been identified from preliminary plots of the Geotech data. Six conductors have associated
magnetic responses. Four coincident magnetic anomalies are part of longer more formational trends. All
conductors appear to be parallel to the steeply dipping stratigraphy.
These conductors occur within Chan Formation rocks of the Yellowknife Supergroup, five at the top of a thick
tholeiitic mafic volcanic sequence within narrower felsic volcanic tuff horizons described by Jackson, V., 1998
as “Mixed pelitic and felsic, intermediate and mafic rocks with overall intermediate composition, and felsic
volcanic and related rocks”.
Modelling of the anomalies will continue as the data are refined, but initial indications are that individual
conductors along the horizon hosting outcropping VMS-style mineralization is generally less than 10 m wide.
Other conductors occur on the property and are being assessed over the next few weeks.
There is a camp on the property and permits to drill have been received.
John Campbell, Chairman of the Board of Directors reports “The Geotech VTEMTM Plus survey has provided a
number of excellent targets that we plan to drill test as soon as possible. Permits to drill have been received.
Our proximity to a hydroelectric power plant and all -weather roads (25 km and 35 km away respectively)
improves the development potential of this type of target. We have further processing to complete, but the
survey has also identified a terrain-bounding type of break that passes 300 m west of the past-producing Mon
Gold Mine, which provides for a much larger target area increasing the potential for the size of the Mon A -
Zone to be expanded.”
