Note - The intervals presented in the table represent the total length for all samples collected from each trench and true widths of mineralized zones are not known at present. In certain trenches, it was not possible to sample consistently across the entire trench lengths (due to the lack of sample-able material) and total trench lengths are reported in these instances.
As Bluto was a greenfields target that had never been drilled, these trenches were critical in targeting drillhole locations. Trenches proved extremely effective in the Bluto program, not only with respect to definition of surface mineralization but allowed for critical structural and lithological mapping and control prior to drill testing. The Bluto Zone trenches represent a combination of targeted trenches constructed across the Bluto gold+arsenic-in-soils geochemical anomaly, trenches designed to exposure the intrusive-metasedimentary contacts as well as trenches built in conjunction with access construction trails where bedrock exposure was evident.
In addition to the construction, sampling and mapping of the 3,191 metres of surface trenches at Bluto, a 19 hole, 3,317 metre diamond drilling program was conducted. Diamond drilling targeted the mapped intrusive-metasedimentary contacts within the two kilometer by one kilometer arsenic+gold in soils anomaly and has been further refined to test mineralized veins identified from trench activities.
