Precipitate Gold outlines anomalies at Juan de Herrera

PRECIPITATE'S GROUND MAGNETIC SURVEY AND SURFACE SAMPLING SUBSTANTIATES NEW ZONES WITH GINGER RIDGE AFFINITIES

Precipitate Gold Corp. has released the results and interpretation of a ground magnetics geophysical survey at the Southeast and South Jengibre zones within the company's Juan de Herrera project in the Dominican Republic.

Precipitate has completed a ground magnetic geophysical survey on the Southeast and South Jengibre zones, both located about six kilometres southeast of the company's Ginger Ridge zone. The primary goal of the magnetic survey is to aid interpretation of the lithological and structural features of the area to efficiently focus the forthcoming induced polarization (IP) survey program. This magnetic survey combined with the recently completed surface rock-soil geochemical sampling programs has successfully outlined priority areas for the current IP geophysics, particularly the Southeast zone anomalies where a distinct gold and associated pathfinder anomaly coincides with a magnetic low, and also a distinct copper geochemical anomaly coinciding with a magnetic high. See the company's website for additional illustrations.

The IP crew is currently completing new surveys to infill and expand the geophysical grid at Ginger Ridge, and will move to the Southeast and South Jengibre grids next. This geophysical work at Ginger Ridge is intended to provide final additional drill targeting data for the pending phase 2 drilling program expected to commence as soon as the Ginger Ridge IP survey is completed.

Highlight features of the magnetic/geochemical compilation

Southeast zone:

  • A linear, northwest-trending, magnetic low measuring about 1,900 metres long by 175 metres wide coincident with a surface geochemical anomaly of combined gold and various pathfinder elements, demonstrating characteristics quite similar to the Ginger Ridge zone;
  • A large northwest-trending, magnetic high measuring at least three kilometres in length coincident with a surface copper dominant geochemical anomaly, likely mapping underlying andesitic rocks.

South Jengibre zone:

  • A large surface geochemical anomaly outlined by a loose collection of gold and various pathfinder elements, measures approximately 1.7 kilometres by 0.6 kilometre and is underlain by a subtle northwest-trending magnetic low; the area is located only two kilometres south of Goldquest Mining Corp.'s Jengibre zone, where past work has identified a noteworthy exploration target and reported highlight continuous channel sampling results of 59.5 metres grading 1.58 grams per tonne gold (see Goldquest news release of Oct. 7, 2009) and rock samples of 17.7 grams per tonne gold and 1.4 per cent copper.

Jeffrey Wilson, Precipitate's president and chief executive officer, commented that: "Regionally, within the Tireo gold camp, a magnetic low geophysical signature is often a key feature that marks altered and mineralized volcanic rocks subjected to hydrothermal activity. These newly identified magnetic signatures within established geochemical surface anomalies offer a critical second layer of data to our ongoing exploration. We know from other discoveries made previously in the region that coincidental magnetic and geochemical anomalies provide strong targets for follow-up ground IP surveying as a final critical step in advance of drill target delineation. With IP geophysical surveying currently under way throughout the project, these new target areas will undergo additional detailed geophysical surveying in the coming weeks. Any chargeability and/or resistivity anomalies identified by the IP equipment within these anomalies would provide the basis for compelling future drill targeting."

The Southeast and South Jengibre target areas are underlain by regionally favoured Cretaceous aged Tireo formation intermediate volcanic rocks, similar to those which host the company's Ginger Ridge zone's gold-quartz-pyrite mineralization. Reduced magnetic signatures (magnetic lows) with coincident surface geochemical anomalies are common features for many of the Tireo gold camp notable mineral showings. Rock outcropping are typically sparse, with poor rock exposure in the strongest areas of the Southeast and South Jengibre geochemical anomalies. Precipitate personnel were able to sample some scattered, small exposures in the South Jengibre which reported gold results from nil metres to four metres grading 1.25 grams per tonne gold from an exposure of sheeted and stockwork veins accompanied by disseminated pyrite and silica flooding. This and other new mineralized exposures are considered significant as they fit the Tireo gold camp model and provide further proof of concept in these new areas.

Work on the Southeast zone has identified two adjoining and parallel target areas: (1) a priority area which has a similar tenor to the Ginger Ridge zone (on regional strike about six kilometres to the northwest), possessing a linear, northwest-trending, plus-1,900-metre-long magnetic low with a coincident surface geochemical anomaly of combined gold and various pathfinder elements (including arsenic, antimony, bismuth and cadmium), and (2) a large northwest-trending, magnetic high measuring at least three kilometres long, coincident with a copper-dominant surface geochemical anomaly which together are likely mapping copper enriched andesitic rocks. The gold and magnetic low anomalies are open to the northwest off property, while the copper and magnetic high anomalies are open along strike.

The South Jengibre zone is marked by a large surface geochemical anomaly characterized by a loose assemblage of gold and other pathfinder elements (including lead, zinc, cadmium with lesser arsenic and antimony), measuring roughly 1.7 kilometres by 0.6 kilometre. The geochemical target area is underlain by a broad transitional magnetic response from low in the south to high in the north, along with a subtle and narrow northwest-trending magnetic low.

Magnetic surveying of the Southeast and South Jengibre target areas covered about 30 line kilometres, with data collected at 12.5-metre station intervals over 200-metre-spaced grid lines by a GSM-19 version 7 Overhauser magnetometer by company consultants.
