Jiulian Resources Mobilizes Drill Rig to Its Pedra Branca Project, Brazil



South Atlantic Gold Inc.
 

TheNewswire - October 22nd, 2020 - JIULIAN RESOURCES INC. (TSXV:JLR) (“Jiulian” or the “Company“) ") is pleased to announce that it has  mobilized a Reverse Circulation (RC) drill rig to the Pedra Branca property. located within the prospective gold portion of the emerging Troia Greenstone Belt in Ceara, Northeast Brazil.

Drilling is expected to commence on Friday, October 23rd. Drilling will focus on confirmation  of known mineralized zones and the extensions on trend zones of gold mineralization intercepted by trenches from five prospective targets that have previously been identified: Mirador, Queimadas e Coelhos, Igrejinha and Mir-Coelhos, covering 12.5km of trend (30% of total 42km trend).

 

HIGHLIGHTS

  • - Field work is currently ongoing at Pedra Branca with trenching, channel sampling and prospecting in full swing. Nine trenches have been completed and sampled to date with assays pending.

    - Currently the Company has planned 74 exploratory drill holes for approximately 4,500 meters of RC drilling at Mirador, Queimadas e Coelhos, Igrejinha and Mir-Coelhos which has previous work done, drill-core samples and mineralization extension along the prospective trend (figure 6);

    - In addition, 8 drill holes have been planned for approximately 500 meters to twin historic drill holes which will be used to prepare a maiden 43-101 resource estimate. The Company is completing an inventory of historical drill core for selecting the twin holes to be drilled.

DRILLING AT KEY TARGETS

The RC drilling at Mirador, Queimadas, Coelhos, Igrejinha and Mir-Coelho (Figure 1) has the objective to better understand the geology, structure and controls on the known mineralized zones and their extension along the trend zones in order to support further exploration programs, following the Orogenic Gold Mineralization Model that is often continuous in significant depths in these systems.

The gold mineralization in characterized at Coelhos and Queimada, Igrejinha and Mir-Coelho targets by the subparallel intra-foliated millimetric/centimetric strings of sulfides in amphibole shale with magnetite and fine quartz-feldspar rock, subordinately by hydrothermal silicification zones and pyrite >> pyrrhotite sulphides.

At the Mirador target the gold mineralization occurs by the association of hydrothermal silicification zones and pyrite >> pyrrhotite sulphides and subordinately subparallel intra-foliated millimetric/centimetric strings of sulfides.

The program is supported by the gold mineralization intercepted in trenches and from soil geochemistry anomalies, stream sediments and geophysics.

The initial drill holes of Reverse Circulation drilling is subdivided by Target as follow:

  • - Igrejinha Target: 740 meters (Figure 2

    - Mir_Coelho Target: 390 meters (Figure 3

    - Queimadas Target: 870 meters (Figure 4

    - Coelhos Target: 1,125 meters (Figure 4

    - Mirador Target        : 1,375 meters (Figure 5

    - Twin Drill Holes: 500 meters

Additional Exploration works: Trenches, Geological Mapping and Validation of the Historical Drill holes

Geological mapping and complementary trenches have been carried out on these five more prospective targets.  Additionally soil, stream sediments and geophysical anomalies along the 42 km trend, have been completed to identify additional prospective targets results of which will be included in an Exploration Report due in June 2021 to the ANM (Brazilian Mineral Agency). In parallel the Company has completed an inventory review of the historical drill corewhich included  confirming  the condition and integrity of the core storage. We will seek to identify core for re-sampling with the intent to validate historical diamond drill holes.

Marcelo Batelochi, our Senior Exploration Manager commented: "We are excited to announce to commencement of  the drill program at  the Pedra Branca project with a focus on the more prospective targets covering 30% of the total NE trend that have been identified  as mesothermal shear zone hosted gold deposit, associated to the Senador-Pompeu shear zone. This RC drilling will contribute considerably for a better understanding of the geology, structure and controls on the gold mineralization near surface in order to support next exploration program of diamond drilling following the Orogenic Gold Mineralization Model that is often continuous to considerable depths in these systems.”

Mr. Meirelles, President and CEO stated: “We are impressed by the speed and efficiency of our team on the ground. We will continue to work towards a better understanding of Pedra Branca and unlocking further value of this property.”
