LAVAL, CANADA–(Marketwired – March 15, 2016) – Typhoon Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TYP) («Typhoon») announces to have received results from a first OreVision® test survey completed on the Aiguebelle-Goldfields property. Five (5) lines, 1 kilometre long, were proposed in the extension of the Fayolle deposit (see press release dated Sept. 6, 2012), in an area devoid of any outcrop.
The survey and interpretation performed by Abitibi Geophysics (www.ageophysics.com) gave the indication of two (2) clear anomalies, ready to drill, with the following characteristics:
- Strongly dipping, continuous anomalies seen over the five (5) lines
- Correlated to parallel geological trends, spaced out by 200 metres and following an east-west orientation
- Geophysical model indicating a weak pyrite content (5%) which is coherent with other gold targets in the area
- Eastern projection connecting with Fayolle and another satellite mineralized trend
- Never drill tested
The OreVision® survey is a new IP configuration developed by Abitibi Geophysics specifically to detect weak chargeability signals distinct from overburden effects (www.ageophysics.com). This method is particularly suited to explore gold deposits of the Abitibi Belt.
Typical gold mineralization of the Aiguebelle-Goldfields property and adjoining Fayolle property is mainly hosted in altered dykes and ultramafic rocks characterized by a low content of disseminated pyrite.
The use of OreVision® inaugurates a more systematic exploration approach applicable to other Typhoon properties in the area.
