- Anova Metals (AWV) identifies multiple new gold-in-soil anomalies at the Golden Dome prospect within its Big Springs project in Nevada
- The company has received assays from over 2700 metres of soil sampling that focused on the minimally-explored Golden Dome area
- The sampling results included a peak gold value of 138 parts per billion (ppb), and the company will use the findings to plan trenching and drilling work
- Anova Metals shares ended Friday afternoon green by 6.25 per cent to trade at 1.7 cents
Anova Metals (AWV) has identified further “significant” gold-in-soil anomalies at the Golden Dome prospect within its Big Springs project in Nevada, US.
The company has received assays from 2760 metres of soil sampling conducted last year that acted as an extension from soil sampling work carried out in 2021.
According to Anova, Golden Dome is one of the least explored areas within the Big Springs project area, which is why it was the focus of last year’s program.
The company identified six gold-in-soil anomalies with a peak gold value of 138 parts per billion (ppb). Anova said that combined with the soil sampling results from 2021, the anomalies identified were associated with the faults interpreted from a gravity survey completed in 2020, particularly at the fault intersections.
The company said the northwest-southeast faults with gold-in-soil anomalies extended into the adjacent Jerritt Canyon mine area where “economic” gold mineralisation occurred.
Anova Metals will now integrate the sampling results with results from previous geophysical surveys and geological mapping at Golden Dome to help plan trenching and drilling targets for its next phase of exploration.
Anova Metals shares ended Friday afternoon green by 6.25 per cent to trade at 1.7 cents.
