Enzyme leach soil sampling program Salo Option / Программа отбора проб почвы методом ферментативного выщелачивания Salo Option

In April, 1996 a geochemical soil sampling program was carried out on the Salo Option (Figure 1) in order to complete the evaluation of the base metal potential of the property. Two diamond drill holes which targeted a coincident magnetic-HLEM anomaly failed to intersect significant base metal mineralization. The subsequent soil sampling survey was designed to explore for indications of economic mineralization downdip of the drill holes. Soil samples were analysed for trace elements, after being treated by the enzyme leach partial extraction technique (Clark, 1992), by ICP/MS courtesy of Activation Labs Ltd (Actlabs). Results are then used to define geochemical anomalies in overburden possibly related to underlying mineralized bedrock. <...>
