Altair Minerals Limited has announced promising results from its South Oko project, with a grab sample returning an assay of 7.03g/t Au, marking the first in-situ confirmation of high-grade gold mineralization in the mafic unit. This achievement strengthens the geological understanding and confidence in the area's prospectivity as they prepare for a substantial diamond drilling campaign. The exploration at South Oko has benefited from ground geophysical surveys, trenching, and sampling, which together refine the exploration targets. Altair plans to embark on a significant drilling program with the support of OGD Drilling, aiming to further explore and delineate the mineralization at South Oko.
Key Points
Altair Minerals Limited reported a significant gold assay result from a grab sample at South Oko (SOKO) indicating high-grade gold mineralization with an assay of 7.03g/t Au.
This result represents the first confirmation of in-situ high-grade gold mineralization within the mafic unit at SOKO.
The exploration team's trenching and sample collection have significantly improved the understanding of the geological and structural framework at SOKO.
A trenching program completed five trenches with systematic sampling, enhancing knowledge of the geology and mineralization controls.
Ground geophysical surveys, including magnetics and induced polarization (IP), are nearing completion to refine exploration targets.
Altair has appointed OGD Drilling (Guyana) Inc. for its maiden diamond drilling program, starting at North Peters and followed by South Oko.
The company plans to conduct a comprehensive diamond drilling campaign of 10,000 to 15,000 meters at South Oko.
Altair holds the right to earn up to 70% of the Greater Oko Project, emphasizing the potential for a significant discovery in the underexplored region of Guyana.
