Berkwood Resources Ltd. said that its surface geological mapping and geochemical analysis of the samples from Cimandiri gold project had identified two gold targets, the Cipetir prospect and the Cisaru prospect.
The company said in Jakarta on Wednesday that these prospect areas indicated a low sulphidation epithermal system associated with stockwork style mineralization.
The surface and soil sampling program, that continues on the property, has confirmed the Cipetir and Cisaru prospects, which were previously identified during geological mapping. Soil and rock sampling has also confirmed the continuity of mineralization and alteration between the Cipetir and Cisaru gold prospects.
This sampling has also identified a new prospect, the Lubang prospect, a 500 m2 area of interest on the Cimandiri property, where an old, hand dug adit made by locals with a depth of 2 meters was found. A grab sample in the adit has returned a result of 5.4 g/ton, and soil sampling has confirmed this anomaly on surface. The Lubang prospect is still open to the North West and North East.
The soil samples have been taken at depths between 1 to 6 meters, following ridge and spur sampling technique. Hand auger tools are being utilized to reach the ?C? horizon level. As sampling continues, infill sampling will take place between the areas of interest to expand all of the current prospects.
Soil and rock samples are being sent to Intertek laboratories in Jakarta for geochemical analysis of Au, Ag, Cu, Pb, Zn, Hg, and As using Fire Assay, Acid Assay, and ICP.
