Drills are testing epithermal gold mineralization at the Kavola property of Indo-Pacific Resources (ASE) on the island of New Britain, part of Papua New Guinea.
Five mineralizaed zones are known to exist on the property. Altered volcanic rocks carry thin quartz veins; gold occurs in the veins and is disseminated through the volcanics in zones with surface expressions 200-600 metres long and 15-70 metres wide.
Gold concentrations exceeding 1 gram per tonne tend to be restricted to the most intensely altered rocks in zones 20-30 metres wide. Bulldozer trenches have exposed mineralization with grades of up to 4.7 grams gold per tonne over 20 metres and 6.3 grams per tonne over 5 metres.
Indo-Pacific plans 800 metres of drilling in total, with individual holes up to 180 metres long.
