In a press release, Precipitate Gold Corp. announced it has commenced an extensive ground-induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey over multiple zones within its 100% owned Juan de Herrera Project in San Juan de la Maguana, Dominican Republic.
The large 2D pole-dipole IP geophysical survey will cover the four priority exploration targets in the southwestern farming province.
Jeffrey Wilson, Precipitate’s CEO explains that this type of geophysical surveying is a very effective tool for identifying potential gold and copper mineralization, often hidden at depth in the Dominican Republic’s Tireo formation volcanic rocks. “We look forward to completing the IP geophysical survey and assessing the data for future ground truthing and drill targeting,” he says in the press release.
The Juan de Herrera Project is owned 100% by Precipitate Gold Corp. and comprised of approximately 12,706 hectares located immediately adjacent to GoldQuest Mining’s Romero gold-copper project within the Upper Cretaceous aged package of volcanic and sedimentary Tireo Gold Formation in San Juan de la Maguana province.
The company says that the project hosts intermediate sulphidation epithermal and VMS-style exploration targets. Work to date, including extensive project-wide geochemical and geophysical surveying and limited diamond drilling, has delineated and outlined multiple anomalous zones of gold and/or copper mineralization warranting additional exploration and drilling.
Approximately 5.0 million gold equivalent ounces have been discovered and advanced in the Tireo Formation belt in the last decade, while vast areas of similarly prospective and proximal terrain, such as that situated within Precipitate’s Juan de Herrera project, remain largely underexplored.
The advances of the mining company in the province has met with resistance by those who see the mineral exploitation as an environmental threat to farming and the health of the population.
