This is partially due to the fact that this part of Lapland is near the origin of the glaciers. Sometimes the BOT anomalies may be transported "down-ice" by glacial processes and subsequent groundwaters, but in other cases the anomalies may be very near their source.
BOT sampling is a very useful tool to prospect through this cover by capturing samples of the basal till or bedrock. Similar to other gold exploration projects in the Central Lapland Gold Belt (CLGB), such as Rupert Resources' Area 1 Discovery, this part of the Jeesiö Project is covered by glacial sediments of varying depths. We are excited for the Utsamo target to become our second prospect tested this fall, as the drill will soon depart Mustajärvi."īase of Till Program Summary and Interpretation Now we can see geochemical evidence of a gold system that heightens the importance of the 2021 drilling that is about to begin. We knew that Utsamo occupied a major structural corridor where the Sirkka Shear Zone bends from dominantly east-west to dominantly north-south. The high priority BOT anomalies correlate with important faults and geophysical anomalies that were already believed to have potential for gold mineralization.Ĭarl Löfberg, President and CEO of FireFox, commented, "We have recently seen the value of quality BOT sampling with the Rupert discovery at Area 1, and now the FireFox team has delivered some great results at Utsamo. Statistical and spatial associations in the geochemistry assist in mapping geology, as well as mineralization, beneath the glacial sediments and Well-developed spatially associated anomalies in key pathfinder element such as: tellurium, bismuth, arsenic, antimony, silver, and molybdenum High contrast gold anomalies against a very low background, the maximum gold value in the 2021 data is just under 1 ppm (0.919 ppm)
Key takeaways from the Utsamo BOT survey include: The core drill will arrive at Utsamo in November, so the FireFox team is readying drill sites based on these BOT data. Each of the major anomalies is associated with major interpreted structures and magnetic anomalies that could be favorable settings for gold deposits (see Figure 1: ).
There are at least two other robust anomalies farther south and east. The most prominent feature emerging from the survey is a multi-line anomaly near the northwest limits of sampling that is comprised of a spatial association among gold and several other trace elements. The data include strong gold and multielement anomalies associated with multiple interpreted splays of the important Sirkka Shear Zone (SSZ).
