In April 2006, one single diamond drill hole (GDD001), was completed to a depth of 41.4m to enable a petrological study of the ore zone. This drill hole intercepted 18.45m @ 1.68g/t from 20m including two distinct zones of higher grade mineralization; 0.65m @ 12.6g/t Au from 20m and 1.44m @ 6.15g/t from 23.6m, however GDD001 was not assayed in detail for other minerals.
SML (Troy Resources NL 70%) conducted soil and rock sampling of the Digo Digo exploration concession and completed in excess of 15,000m of RC and RAB drilling between 2005 and 2007 with an average drill hole depth of 41m with a primary focus on gold mineralisation.
The area hosts numerous historic shallow Garimpero workings and is characterized by Au/Cu anomalies (historic Soil + Chip Sampling + drilling).
The anomalies are characterized by the presence of breccias and gossans at the surface, associated with a felsic volcanoclastic sequence and intrusive bodies (tonalities). Exploration conducted by another group between 2012 and 2015 consisted of 14 diamond drill holes totaling 2500m and indicated anomalous intersections of Gold, Copper, Zinc and Iron amongst other minerals. The assay results of that drilling campaign will be used to accelerate modelling and designing future exploration targets in the Digo Digo exploration concession.
Shallow mineralisation Gossans at surface old workings- Thought it could be an IOCG deposit certainly a target - historic drill intercepts of high grade gold, copper, and Zinc-given the elements & appearance of the rock sample it could well also contain Cobalt.
