TomaGold's Berrigan Mine Survey Reveals Deep Mineralization Potential
Event summary
- Borehole EM survey at Berrigan Mine confirms significant mineralization extension, particularly the Berrigan Deep zone.
- Survey modeled ten conductive plates, with BER-14C plate indicating high-grade intersections and potential northeast extension.
- TomaGold plans to drill three new holes (TOM-26-016 to TOM-26-018) to test the northeast and depth extensions of the BER-14C conductive plate.
- Historical resource estimate at Berrigan Mine reported 1.39 Mt grading 3.17% Zn and 1.77 g/t Au, but not compliant with NI 43-101 standards.
The big picture
TomaGold's Berrigan Mine survey results highlight the potential for significant resource expansion in a historically productive mining camp. The discovery of deep zones with high-grade intersections could reposition the project within Québec's competitive gold and base metals sector, though metallurgical uncertainties remain a key risk. The company's strategic focus on exploration in the Chibougamau region aligns with broader industry trends toward developing high-potential deposits in established mining districts.
