GoldHaven Confirms Bedrock Gold Mineralization at Copeçal West
Event summary
- GoldHaven drilled four holes at Copeçal West, confirming gold mineralization in bedrock for the first time.
- Hole COPE-PDH-008 intersected 39 meters of mineralization at 0.11 g/t Au in unweathered granodiorite-gneiss.
- Results validate the geological model of an in-situ hydrothermal gold system underlying a 6-kilometer surface anomaly.
- Drilling encountered sheeted quartz veining and structural deformation consistent with intrusion-related gold systems.
- Follow-up drilling will integrate geophysical and alteration data to target structural shoots.
The big picture
GoldHaven's discovery of bedrock gold mineralization at Copeçal West confirms the presence of a potentially large-scale hydrothermal gold system in Brazil's Juruena Gold Province. The results align with regional deposit styles, including mesothermal shear-related and intrusion-related gold systems, and position the project alongside other significant gold discoveries in the area. The confirmation of mineralization in fresh bedrock enhances the prospectivity of the Copeçal Project, which is strategically located in a historically productive mineral province.
