Triton Gold launches gold exploration program in Albany Fraser Province
With the commencement of geophysical surveys at the Lady Penrhyn prospect, Triton Gold (ASX: TON) has kicked off the field program on the Salmon Gums Project in Western Australia.
Targets found from geophysical surveys on the Lady Penrhyn prospect on Salmon Gums will be completed by mid February 2011. Drill targets will be tested in March.
Three untested surface gold anomalies on the Salmon Gums Project will also be reconnaissance drilled at end of January using low cost, wide spaced drilling.
Triton would have been very encouraged by the Hercules high grade gold discovery recently announced by Beadell Resources (ASX: BDR), as Triton was recently granted an Exploration License at the Neale Project (Exploration Licence E69/2764), 14 kilometres east of Hercules and 65 kilometres north east of the Tropicana Gold Project.
The Neale Project (186 sq km) has been added to the Triton portfolio under the Tropicana Gold Belt Alliance, an agreement between Teck Australia Pty Ltd. and Triton signed in 2007.
Likewise, the recent announcement of the go ahead for the $690M development of the +5Moz Tropicana Gold Project by AngloGold Ashanti / Independence Group adds impetus to Triton’s priority objective to discover similar gold mineralisation on the Salmon Gums, Fraser Range North, Cundeelee and Neale Projects.
Triton’s priority is to discover similar gold mineralisation on the Salmon Gums, Fraser Range North, Cundeelee and Neale Projects that are all located within the AngloGold dominated Albany Fraser Province.
The project has potential to host north-east striking shear zones parallel to the interpreted mineralised zones at Hercules and Tropicana.
Previous surface soil sampling by Iluka Resources (ASX:ILU) at Neale showed anomalous gold in open file data.
Planning for access to the Neale Project area will commence this quarter, including consultation with the traditional owners.
Triton's share purchase plan will invite shareholders to subscribe for ordinary shares at a price of 13 cents per share and will close Friday, 21 January 2011.
The funds will be used for working capital for the 2011 exploration programmes.
