SKYG · Price

Executive Summary

  • Sky Gold Corp. has commenced diamond-core drilling at its flagship Evening Star property in Nevada, specifically targeting the Tower gold area.
  • A second target, the High Life Cu-Au porphyry, is scheduled for drilling (approx. 600-metre hole) following the completion of an ongoing geophysical program.
  • Phase one of the geophysical surveys (drone-supported magnetic and topographic) is complete, with an induced polarization (IP) survey set to begin within a week to refine targeting for the High Life target.

Key Details

  • Drilling Activity: Diamond-core drill rig currently active at the Tower gold area.
  • Tower Gold Target: Described as a one-kilometre-long, 50-metre-wide, northwest-trending high-grade gold corridor characterized by centimetre-scale extensional quartz veins hosted within a granite intrusion.
  • High Life Target: A deeper copper-gold porphyry system with associated skarn mineralization at Gold Bug and Evening Star; identified via prior geological mapping, geochemical sampling, and historical data review.
  • Drilling Plan for High Life: An approximate 600-metre hole is planned upon completion of the ongoing geophysical program.
  • Geophysical Surveys:
    • Phase one (drone-supported high-resolution magnetic and topographic survey) is complete.
    • Survey flown on 50-metre line spacing to provide detailed subsurface structural and lithological information.
    • Results are currently being processed.
    • Induced polarization (IP) survey is set to commence within a week to further refine drill targeting at the High Life Cu-Au porphyry target.
  • Qualified Person: Danae Voormeij, MSc, PGeo, Director of Sky Gold, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information.
