1min read Nuvau Minerals Inc. (TSXV: NMC) has made a significant discovery at its Matagami Mining Camp, with the 2023 sonic drilling program yielding a regionally significant gold grain anomaly. The anomaly, detected in hole PD-23-030s, featured more than 2,000 gold grains per 10 kg of material, supported by a near-contiguous sample with 295 gold grains per 10 kg of material. This discovery has important implications for the potential scale of the deposit and the exploration strategy for the Matagami Property.
The gold grain anomaly is of prime significance as potential evidence of an eroded gold occurrence, likely located within a kilometre north-east of the hole collar. The Matagami camp has a long history of base metal mining, but the property's location in the Abitibi also makes it a prime location for gold mineralisation. The high concentration of gold grains in the anomaly suggests the presence of an auriferous quartz vein system invading the meta-andesite, believed to possibly be within a kilometre to the north-east of the collar.
The discovery of this anomaly has important implications for the potential scale of the deposit. The high concentration of gold grains, combined with the presence of an auriferous quartz vein system and the location in a mineral-rich region, suggests that the deposit could be significant. Additionally, the anomaly is located in a part of the northern Abitibi greenstone belt that is host to numerous gold and base metal mines, further supporting the potential for a large-scale deposit.
In conclusion, the gold grain anomaly discovered in the 2023 sonic drilling program at the Matagami Mining Camp is of regional significance and has important implications for the potential scale of the deposit. The high concentration of gold grains, combined with the presence of an auriferous quartz vein system and the location in a mineral-rich region, suggests that the deposit could be significant. Further exploration and analysis are needed to confirm the extent and grade of the deposit.
