RE:RE:RE:RE:Westhaven Commences Drilling On Its Shovelnose Gold Property
The shovelnose is a low sulphidation eptihermal gold project according to info pulled off their site.
The more research I do on these types of projects, the more excited I get!
70 grams per ton gold? Wow. Let's hope Westhaven can drill something like that here at the Shovelnose.
Below is from me googling low sulphidation epithermal gold.
" These type of deposits represent an attractive target for gold exploration due to their potential to form world class deposits: either as high grade bonanza vein systems such as Hishikari, Japan (average grade 70 gram per ton gold (Hedenquist et. al , 1996), or large tonnage, low grade deposits such as Round Mountain, Nevada (277 Mt at 1.2 gram per ton gold (Sander and Einaudi, 1990)."
