A.I.S. Resources Gravity Geophysics Reveals Highly Prospective New Gold Drill Targets at Fosterville Toolleen Gold Project
Figure 1.
R1 and R2 have been interpreted as second order faults to the Mt Pleasant Creek Fault in the hanging wall of the major Mt William Fault. Second and third order faults are key mineralization hosts. Alluvial gold in the creek has possibly originated near the fault zone. The red circles show the major drill targets. These are associated with reverse faulting and cross-cutting structures. U and D are dip direction. Red arrows point to plunge direction.

The blue area is the Permian age (Pbx) and the aqua area is the Ordovician age (Ocl) where gold mineralization has been found.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia., Oct. 14, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A.I.S. Resources Limited (TSX: AIS, OTCQB: AISSF) (the “Company” or “AIS”) announces it has received the Geophysics Reprocessing Report from Nordic Geoscience. The red circles in figure one below show the major drill targets on R1 and R2 on the second order faults resulting from the analysis. Second and third order faults are key mineralization hosts where gold may be found. A number of filters and normalizing was applied to the data that screened out signal noise and revealed at least three major structures to be drilled. The latest techniques using NGS (Next Gen Sequencing) Enhanced Ground Gravity processing, Gravity Grid enhancements and Gravity Multi-Scale Edge detection were used to refine locations of mineralization.

An additional gravity survey will be run to fill in the southern area of the tenement to enhance the accuracy of the interpretation. Soil sampling as recommended is already underway. Ultra-fine clay analysis using ICP as developed by Australia’s leading scientific institution CSIRO is going to be used to provide a more accurate location of mineralization.
