Aurbis Resources (CSE:AURR) CEO Johan Lambrechts says the company is looking to sharpen its understanding of the Ecru Gold Project in Nevada, as it kicks off a high-definition drone magnetic light detection and ranging (LiDAR) and photogrammetry survey.
The survey will deliver comprehensive and high-resolution magnetic data, providing the company with a precision subsurface magnetic map to guide exploration across its Robertson-style and Carlin-style gold targets.
Each target style has its own geophysical signature, and the data will be processed, inverted, and interpreted by geophysical consultants before guiding future exploration activities on the project.
The LiDAR and photogrammetry data will provide a detailed view of the historical workings and, potentially, the structures they followed.
Lambrechts adds that with the geological review of existing data nearly complete and this survey now underway, the company is assembling the most comprehensive picture of Ecru’s subsurface ever compiled.
“This systematic, data-driven exploration in one of the world’s great gold districts is building the knowledge base that will guide every decision towards discovery,” the CEO says.
More about Ecru
Ecru is located within the Cortez Gold Camp, one of Nevada’s most prolific gold-producing regions.
Aurbis Resources is executing a systematic, multi-type geophysical program to build the most complete subsurface image of Ecru ever assembled.
In parallel with geophysical activities, the company plans to execute any relevant surface exploration activities, as outlined by the geological review currently underway on the project.
The Ecru Project is largely under modern cover sediments, which limit outcrop and may impact the type of effective activities available to the company, but the detailed geophysical data will help Aurbis be specific with these activities, reducing unwarranted expenditure and increasing their effectiveness.
