Banyan Gold (TSXV:BYN) has announced new analytical results from 37 diamond drill holes collared during the 2022 exploration program for the Aurex Hill and Powerline deposits at its AurMac Property in Yukon.

The results are consistent with the previous drill results at both deposits and confirm and expand the areal extent of the interpreted gold mineralization. Power and Aurex hill are contained in a metasedimentary package that consists mainly of schists, quartzites, and limestones from the late Proterozoic to Cambrian Hylan Group. The company chiefly associates the gold mineralization with low-angle quartz-sulfosalt-arsenopyrite veins, which crosscut all lithologies. This has been interpreted to be associated with a large intrusion-related gold system that has been typical of the Selwyn Basin and Tombstone Gold Belt deposits. Banyan has also identified a strong bismuth-gold association at AurMac, which is being used to establish possible new exploration vectors.

Tara Christie, President & CEO of Banyan Gold, commented in a press release: “2022 drill results continue to expand the extent of near/on-surface gold mineralization at the Powerline and Aurex Hill Deposits. Both deposits remain open and these most recent results received have demonstrated two notable mineralized trends in Aurex Hill.”
