| It starts with great data. Newfoundland’s Geological Survey has an exemplary trove of geological information plus readily accessible data for all previous survey and exploration work. Gold Island Inc. takes advantage of state-of-the-art modern mineral exploration techniques and the use of geographic information systems (GIS) to compile, clean, validate and analyze data. Information from multiple sources points to areas that are likely to host mineralization. The historic data includes geochemical samples from a stream, lake, till, soil, and outcrop sampling, geological mapping and identification of deep-seated fractures that are conduits for metal transport. GIS permits these many data sets to be viewed simultaneously to identify and prioritize locations where detailed fieldwork should be undertaken. |
