More than half dozen geophysical surveys of QWN had been undertaken over the past 6-7 years which, in combination with surficial sampling data , has enabled NFG to prepare a lithological and structural foundation for the Queensway Property which was combined with massive drill core data to 350 m or so , provided Seismics with excellent prospect characterization needed to identify new target areas for the current ground truth sidetrack drilling by Devico.
The preliminary 3-D cube seismic interpretation outlined structures and geological features to a depth of approximately 2.5 km . The structural geology thereby derived aligned quite well with known drill-defined gold-bearing structures closer to surface confirming the potential for additional lineaments that could represent new and untested structures.
Of course, as these 12 drills tested these preliminary multiple source targets enroute to their TD, the forecast geological devinings were continously replaced and updated by empirical drill core data.
As a consequence, multiple sourced target descriptors guiding drilling became much more accurate as depths increased .
Its my opinion , based on these known facts, that the current 12 drill holes soon to be side tracked to test auriferous zones defined by drill cores and Seismics , will have excellent success.
Based on typical orogenic gifts of broader high grade zones with increasing depths, those sidetrack tests by Devico have an excellent prognosis ..
