Fury Enhances Drill Targeting at the Percival Prospect with Completion of Ground Geophysical Survey

The survey identified discrete coincident resistivity and conductivity anomalies which correspond with the sulphide-rich silica breccia gold-bearing bodies at Percival.

“Percival is one of our larger targets that has had great historic success, however, it is highly underexplored,” said Tim Clark, CEO of Fury. “It was extremely encouraging to receive the following IP geophysical survey results ahead of our planned drilling commencing in early June. We are excited to be drilling again and look forward to the continuous results from both our Eau Claire and Percival targets throughout this summer and fall.”

“We are excited to have been able to better fingerprint the Percival mineralization through IP geophysics and to be able to refine our targeting ahead of the upcoming drilling campaign. Additionally, new target styles are becoming apparent outside of the Percival stratigraphy where we have IP conductivity and resistivity anomalies paired with biogeochemical anomalies along a previously unrecognized structural trend,” stated Bryan Atkinson, SVP Exploration of Fury.

IP Survey Details

The Percival prospect, located 14km east of the Eau Claire deposit, is currently represented by a 400 metre (m) by 100m mineralized footprint hosted within folded sulphidized and silicified breccias in an interbedded volcanic and sedimentary sequence represented by historical drill intercepts of 93.1m of 2.22 g/t gold, 9.0m of 6.26 g/t gold, 8.5m of 7.13 g/t gold and 2.0m of 8.47 g/t gold.

The IP survey methodology is useful for fingerprinting the sulphide rich silica dominant Percival style of mineralization (Figure 3), by identifying the resistive silicified units coinciding with a highly conductive, response due to the high sulphides content.  In the western portion of the survey iron formation in close proximity to highly conductive graphitic shales obscure the conductivity signature associated with the sulphide mineralization at Percival prospect, however, the mineralization is imaged as relative conductive lows adjacent to the graphitic shales (Figure 2).  In the eastern portion of the grid, these graphitic shales are less prevalent, and the IP survey has defined a number of coincident resistivity and conductivity highs that the Company plans on evaluating and advancing to drill stage.  

The IP survey also confirmed the presence of NW / SE structures that appear to be an important control on mineralization observed at the Percival prospect. This structural trend coincides with a number of biogeochemistry anomalies and the technical team interprets these structures as a key component to concentrating gold mineralization along the Percival trend.  This vector was previously derived from the interpretation of the biogeochemical and magnetics data. This structural trend is parallel to the regional fold axis that links the Percival and Serendipity prospects (Figure 1).

The IP survey consisted of a total of 28.89 line-km across three distinct areas of the Percival trend covering eight of the fifteen previously announced biogeochemical targets (see news release dated January 26, 2022). Lines ranged from 0.975 to 2.025 km with spacing of 125 to 250 metres (m). The survey was carried out using a pole-dipole electrode array with a nominal station spacing of 37.5m and readings ranging from n = 1 to n=20 allowing for a depth of survey of up to 325m.
