West Mining (WEST) has received results and a summary report for its Spanish Mountain West gold project in British Columbia.
The program identified multi-element and multi-station soil anomalies of key pathfinder elements associated with gold mineralization at the nearby Spanish Mountain deposit.
Mineralization in the Spanish Mountain deposit is characterized as finely disseminated gold associated with pyrite in argillites and as polymetallic-gold veins hosted in Nicola volcanic sequences.
The CMG program identified shallow, low-grade, pathfinder elements such as arsenic, mercury and bismuth.
However, base metals including lead, zinc, and copper arsenic and silver were identified in soils across the property.
A total of 980 soil samples were collected from the Oscar North, Spanish Lake and Spanish Southwest grid areas.
The Oscar North Grid shows elevated base metals Cu-Pb-Zn and the shallow indicator element As.
Most notable on this grid is a single station multi-element soil location in the center of the claim and is directly north of the Oscar gold showing.
The Spanish Lake grid was designed to extend an adjacent gold-in-soil anomaly located west of the grid.
A single gold-arsenic anomalous station in the upper northeastern corner of this grid is in proximity to a structural inflection point defined by an adjacent gully; this station returned the highest gold value of the program.
On the Spanish Southwest, soil sampling center of the grid displays a strong single-station multi-element soil anomaly which is surrounded by weakly anomalous gold-arsenic at neighbouring stations, all of which occur near the geological contact of interest. Follow-up work in this area has been recommended.
