White Metal Completes Airborne Geophysical Survey Delineating Gold-Bearing Structural Trends on the Startrek Gold-Antimony Property, Newfoundland
White Metal Completes Airborne Geophysical Survey
Delineating Gold-Bearing Structural Trends on the
Startrek Gold-Antimony Property, Newfoundland
Thunder Bay, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - December 18, 2019) -
White Metal Resources Corp. (TSXV: WHM)
("White Metal"
or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received the results of its 402 line-kilometre, fixed-wing, high-resolution
aeromagnetic gradiometer and digital VLF-EM survey, recently completed over the Startrek Gold-Antimony Property (the
"Property" or "Startrek"), located about 20 km east of Gander, Central Newfoundland. The geophysical survey utilized
Terraquest Ltd.'s new Matrix Digital VLF-EM frequency system, coupled with their high resolution horizontal magnetic
gradiometer, to map new and refine known geological structures (faults and shear zones) of which northeast-trending structures
are known to host gold and antimony mineralization. The survey also defined several new structures, including a series of
secondary east-west trending structures, and numerous bedrock conductors suggestive of semi-massive to massive sulphides.
Together with historical data, this new information has provided the Company with new targets for ground truthing and follow-up
exploration. Maps of the new geophysical survey and other features described herein can be viewed on the Company website.
Michael Stares, President & CEO of White Metal, commented, "I am very encouraged with the results of the Airborne VLF-EM
and Magnetic survey and with this new data in hand, we have interpreted at least six structural trends that correlate well with
known gold-antimony occurrences. A number of the structures identified by the VLF-EM survey have been traced for about six
kilometers with some trends continuing into areas with very little outcrop. We are now planning the next phase of work to include
additional soil sampling, trenching, and follow-up diamond drilling on high priority targets generated from this work."
The Eastern Zone
: extended an additional four kilometres, this now six kilometre zone correlates well with the VLF-EM (EM
highs) and Magnetic survey. The Eastern zone was previously traced by ground geophysics intermittingly for two kilometres and
is described as intensely silicified with tourmaline and chlorite alteration, abundant arsenic (As) and anomalous tungsten (W)
and gold (Au) (
see
White Metal news release dated July 30, 2019).
The Central Zone (Epithermal Alteration)
: including epithermal-style quartz veining at "Granite Trench", this zone correlates
well with a VLF-EM high and large magnetic low that extends to the northeast towards the "Big Trench" area which returned up to
40.9 g/t Au and 6.9 g/t Ag (
see
White Metal news release dated July 30, 2019). Numerous interpreted east-west trending faults
cross-cut northeast-trending stratigraphy and the magnetic low, confirmed by structural features which have been observed in the
Big Trench area.
The Western Zone
: associated with a series of magnetic lows and VLF-EM highs along the structural corridor. Locations of
previous rock grab samples collected by White Metal, assayed up to 3.5 g/t Au (
see
White Metal news release dated July 30,
2019) compared well with both the airborne and ground VLF-EM surveys with an associated structure defined for several
hundred metres along strike.
Other Targets
: The VLF-EM and Magnetic survey was also very effective in delineating at least three additional structural
targets on the Property with similar geophysical characteristics to ones know to control known gold-antimony mineralization.
In addition, the Company has terminated its option agreements on the Little Joanna Property and the Williams Property, both
located in Newfoundland.
