Gelum Retains Southern Rock Geophysics for Property-wide Survey

The Company further reports that they have retained Southern Rock Geophysics of Santiago, Chile, to complete a Magnetotellurics and Vector Induced Polarization Surveying at Las Tinajas starting in mid-July. The accepted work proposal includes data acquisition, processing, modelling and final reporting. The primary objective of the survey is to characterise the distribution of resistivity across the entire the project area, from near-surface levels down to depths of nominally 3000 metres or greater for the MT survey, and to approximately 800 metres for the VIP survey chargeability and resistivity parameters.

The initial phase of MT-VIP data acquisition will cover the full survey area on a grid of 500 metre spaced sites with the primary target being porphyry copper-gold mineralization, a primary target in the region (see Figure 1).

A second phase of detailed follow-up proposed for a tentative 10 line-km Pole-Dipole IP / Resistivity with EMAP configuration MT surveying, using either a 100 m or 200 m dipole length, to target extensions to the known gold-mineralized diatreme breccia that has been the main target of historical drilling.

Southern Rock was chosen for their proven experience, with over 30 years of geophysical operations, with more than 200 completed VIP and MT surveys, and their extensive local knowledge of the logistical, technical, regulatory, and cultural aspects involved in this type of survey in Chile. They use state-of-the-art technology, consisting of a high-resolution, 32-bit gDAS32 acquisition system for robust high quality data acquisition.
