Golden Cariboo Resources has uncovered two substantial gold anomalies that extend beyond the previously known Halo zone at its Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine property in central British Columbia. The discovery, based on detailed Molecular Mobility Induced (MMI) soil sampling, presents promising new exploration opportunities for the company.
The first anomaly, located in the northern part of the survey area, spans approximately 240 meters north by 135 meters east and remains open to further exploration. The second anomaly represents a multi-mineral zone covering at least 200 meters north by 500 meters east, with potential for gold, copper, silver, and additional trace elements including arsenic, cadmium, and molybdenum.
David Mark, P.Geo., who conducted the technical analysis, noted that the MMI soil data correlates with known gold mineralization from previous trenching and drilling programs. These new targets are strategically positioned 260 and 600 meters north of previous drill hole QGQ24-20, indicating significant expansion potential for the property.
The company plans to conduct expanded trenching and drilling activities during the 2025 exploration season to further investigate these promising anomalies. This approach demonstrates a methodical and targeted exploration strategy that could potentially uncover substantial mineral resources in the region.
The discovery is particularly notable given the property's historical context, which includes over 101 placer gold creeks in the 90-kilometer Cariboo trend and a gold-silver deposit first discovered in 1865. These new findings suggest the area continues to hold significant geological potential for mineral exploration.
