Published: · Updated:
Great Atlantic Resources said it had begun an excavator trenching program at its wholly owned South Quarry Tungsten Property in southern Newfoundland. The current phase plans five trenches in two target areas in the northern part of the property, where earlier work identified tungsten mineralization and geochemical anomalies. Rock and till samples are to be collected for analysis.
The targets build on historical trenching: selected 2016 rock samples from one backfilled trench returned 0.124% to 0.235% tungsten, while another boulder sample returned 0.306%. These are historical, selective results, not assays from the current program. The company said all trench sites will be rehabilitated under the provincial exploration approval and Mineral Act regulations.
