Thunderstruck Resources (AWE) has initiated a comprehensive and expanded exploration program on its 100 per cent owned Liwa gold/silver prospect in Fiji.
Thunderstruck chairman Brien Lundin commented on the Liwa prospect.
“The Liwa prospect is extremely exciting, with four major, coincident geochemical/geophysical anomalies extending over a three-kilometer strike length and featuring high-grade gold sampling results. We’ve been biting at the bit to drill these targets, and look forward to what we’ll find at depth on these anomalies.”
The 2021 program includes mapping, geochemistry and a drilling campaign as detailed below.
Drilling
1,500 meters of drilling is proposed for the 2021 season, across the four known targets. Drilling at the Jensen’s and Liwa Ridge targets is to begin concurrently with a new sampling campaign focused on both existing prospects and prospective areas.
Orientation survey
The orientation survey will consist of a series of sample stations over the known body of mineralization at the Liwa Ridge target, generating a better understanding of how anomalies related to mineralization are detected by different sampling techniques/methodologies.
Grid sampling
Two 20m x 100m grids are proposed for the property. The first will encompass the proximal regions of the Liwa Ridge, Jensen’s and Vatuvatulevu targets, whilst the second will focus on the Gun target in the northeast.
These grids will be supported by more widely-spaced sample lines on the peripheries of the targets.
Reconnaissance sampling
A continuation of the historically successful ridge and spur sampling campaign is planned in the southern and northern areas of the prospect. This will be accompanied by stream sediment and channel sampling at key points.
Mapping
Three main areas have been recommended for further mapping in order to extend the known target structures and potentially add new ones:
- Upstream of Liwa Creek
- Upstream of Vatuvatulevu Creek
- Northern areas of the prospect along Matacile Creek and the Navua River
Geochemistry
A review of the existing geochemical data is being undertaken with an emphasis on historic rock samples. This review will attempt to geochemically vector the hydrothermal alteration and enhance the interpretation of alteration facies previously derived from mineral assemblages.
Thunderstruck Resources is a Canadian mineral exploration company with extensive and highly prospective properties in Fiji on which recent and previous exploration has confirmed VMS, copper and precious metals mineralization.
