General Discussion on AAU, page-747

Sentiment? Interest? No idea why! hehehe

Holes 003, 004 & 002 are next up and following on from last ann on Tue.


Hole 001 drilled to the South East, the rest drill to the North West..

Northern Miner 1997: Recent drilling is enabling junior to arrive at ore reserve calculation Reverse-circulation (RC) holes drilled by KWG Resources (KWG-T) on the Gaspar concession in central Cuba show impressive gold widths and grades.
These RC holes were completed as part of an in-fill drill program being carried out in order to calculate reserves. Four previously announced trenches in this immediate area encountered surface mineralization averaging 5.6 grams gold over 82 metres.
As well, five 100-kg samples selected from this same area averaged 12.7 grams in cyanide leach tests.

Company geologists believe they have intersected two (possibly three) auriferous zones of the feeder system to the Pilar deposit. These zones wander and merge but generally strike northwestward; they are sub-parallel to each other and dip eastward at moderate to high angles. These zones are traceable by trenching and drilling across several drill sections.
Gold grades are variable along each zone. According to KWG geologists, the Pilar region of the Gaspar concession has two controlling systems of mineralization: an 8-km-long, northwest-To-southeast trend along which all the known mineralization to date has been found; and crosscutting mineralized faults, apparently hosting hydrothermal breccias.
Where these two structures intersect, economic concentrations of gold mineralization may be encountered. Thus far, five such intersections have been identified over a 2-km strike length.







Primary sulphides (chalcopyrite and pyrite) associated with (photo # 5) chalcopyrite-quartz breccia in strongly sericite-chlorite altered tuffs and (photo # 6) quartz-sulphide stockwork associated with sericite-chlorite overprint of earlier secondary biotite altered diorite.

Hard to positively confirm but PDH-004 appears to be aligned with the TRC-270 series drill holes and also with RC-90 possibly visible in frame between 004 & 004A but it is hard to interpret I admit..


NM 1997: Hole 271 averaged 40.29 grams gold per tonne from surface to 41 metres, including 68.26 grams gold for the first 24 metres. Other holes testing this structure on the same section include hole RC-90, which intersected 8.33 grams gold over 22 metres. On the next section, 20 metres to the north of hole RC-94, results averaged 3.02 grams over 60 metres. New hole 267 averaged 2.78 grams over 19 metres, and hole 268 averaged 2.08 grams over 27 metres, all on the same structure.



Antilles Gold (ASX:AAU) — Spark Plus Australian Equities Day Presentation
"our exploration manager who's a very talented guy as i mentioned before is really wrapped on this property he thinks that the grades that we are seeing at surface the first 60 70 meters going into this portfolio will be replicated"

"if they continue, we're going to drill only down to about 300 meters which is the limit of the drilling equipment we've got there at the moment in cuba but, if we replicate the surface results which we we have already seen but can't release we'll have a tiger by the tail this this could be a very very special"


Hole 002 Ref:
NM 1997: : KWG believes there are two models of mineralization at Pilar: a conventional epithermal-style stockwork system overlain by a zone of lower-grade, chemically precipitated gold. The best gold values are usually associated with quartz veining, silicification and iron oxide mineralization.



GLTAH..... H8teeeeeeeeey
