They identified the site along a recently constructed logging road, where a metre-scale angular quartz vein float containing coarse visible gold returned a maximum value of 74.8g/t of the metal in initial grab samples.

In addition, ARI has also identified some areas of similar gold bearing float. Recent initial trenching has successfully exposed gold bearing quartz veins in bedrock at the project’s Alder Zone.

Work of the Wilding Project is still in the preliminary stage, and the works cover prospecting near roads, limited soil sampling, trenching of the immediate Alder Zone, and a preliminary structural interpretation of the gold mineralisation.

Both NWA and ARI will be developing a programme for continued exploration of the area, which is expected to start as soon as possible.
