Recent Update:
Rover Project Extension: On 12 August 2019, Twenty Seven Co. Limited announced that it has secured comprehensive aeromagnetic data from a geophysics contractor which includes a major portion of the enlarged Rover Project in WAâs goldfields and nearby regions. This region would help the company explore for Archean Au and VMS (volcanic massive sulphide) mineralisation prospects along the Cook Wells greenstone and Maynard Hill belts.
The data was derived from a low flying airplane with fifty-meter line spacing, which would provide better clarity of the geological understandings along the greenstone belts. The key effort of the company would be on building a thorough geological reading, especially in zones of VMS targets in the southern part of the granted area.
In order to expedite the Rover Project exploration campaign of the company, the geology team members are collecting additional soil & rock-chip samples around the Creasy 2 prospect as well as along the 12km prospective gold strike.
Background: As announced by the company on 1 August 2019, the company provided an encouraging result from the companyâs wholly-owned Rover Project, which is situated in WAâs goldfields, post the mapping and sampling program. The assay confirmed the presence of VMS style geology within the boundaries and extended gold anomalism of the project between the Creasy 1 & 2 prospects.
Apart from this, the assay results of the company confirm the extension of substantial gold anomalism by 1.4 kilometres amongst the Creasy 1 and 2 prospects along the 12 kilometres gold strike. At that point, the immediate priority of the company was the field trip to examine the VMS mineralisation potential of the project as well as the gold potential along the 12km strike between Creasy 1 & 2 prospects.
