Vancouver, BC ‐ ArcPacific Resources Corp. (“ACP” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: ACP) is pleased to report that it has completed the first ever detailed drone magnetic survey at the Rickard Gold Project (the “Property”), near Timmins Ontario, Canada. The survey successfully identified new structures with cross-cutting relationships showing multiple generations of deformation, intrusions and faulting. The detailed survey was also able to pick up on the structures related to the significant veining identified in the phase 1 program and will allow the Company to follow and identify new areas where similar structures exist as part of a planned phase 2 program.
GoldSpot Discoveries Corp. (“GoldSpot”) has also been retained by the Company to interpret and apply modern data analytical techniques to help guide targeting for a phase 2 program. GoldSpot is emerging as an industry leader in mining focused artificial intelligence (“AI”) technology, with significant experience targeting gold deposits in greenstone terranes including their recent success in Newfoundland with companies such as New Found Gold Corp. Their work will incorporate all data generated by the Company to date including all compiled historical geophysics and geological information available from the project area.
Highlights:
Adrian Smith, CEO of ACP comments, “We are extremely excited to be working with GoldSpot, a notable new company in the AI space that made their arrival well known with the support of experienced individuals in the mining industry such as Eric Sprott. These backers recognized GoldSpot’s approach of building a strong, experienced team of geoscientists and pairing them with the latest in advanced AI and machine learning technology. Their confidence in this new approach was not unfounded as they quickly showed their capabilities by guiding drilling which led to new discoveries at New Found Gold’s Queensway project in Newfoundland. We have now begun the process of funneling all project data including the new drone-based geophysics to GoldSpot’s team and believe that they will play a pivotal role in advancing our Property and help guide drilling for a phase 2 program.”
The detailed done magnetic survey included more than 575-line kilometers covering a 13 square kilometre area extending from the historic Rickard gold mine to the northwest, to the regional North Pipestone Fault (“NPF”) which crosses the southern extent of the property. The survey identified previously unknown geological features on the Property including a major recumbent fold likely related to the regional NPF, dominant north-south structures, subtle east west structures, and new northwest-southeast (NW-SE) structures. These NW-SE appear to be the most recent or latest active structures as they crosscut all other orientations and appear to be related to late movement along the NPF. The identification of additional and previously unknown structures at the Property opens the possibility for new fluid pathways and related gold deposits to be identified.
The Property covers a prospective 5,656 hectares of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt located approximately 65 kilometres from the town of Timmins in the Timmins Gold Camp which has produced over 80 million ounces of gold over the last 100 years. The Property is road accessible and sits within 25 to 60 kilometers of six currently producing gold mines and eight previous producers. Large areas of the Property remain untested and under cover.
Financing
The Company also announces that it intends to complete a non-brokered private placement of flow-through units (“FT Units”) and non-flow-through units (“NFT Units”) (the “Private Placement”).
