Core Insights - Golden Spike Resources Corp. announced positive results from soil sampling surveys at its Gregory River Copper-Gold Property in Newfoundland, particularly highlighting the Lower Mitchell, Steep Brook North, and Vein Zone East target areas [1][4]. Lower Mitchell Soil Sampling Highlights - A 600 m strike length of coincident gold-zinc-copper and arsenic soil anomalies was identified, indicating significant exploration potential [4][7]. - Soil sampling covered an area of approximately 550 m by 560 m, with 225 samples collected along twelve lines spaced 50 m apart [5][6]. - Individual soil grades reached up to 885 ppb gold, 1,520 ppm zinc, 1,797 ppm copper, and >10,000 ppm arsenic, with the majority of the target remaining unexplored [7][10]. Steep Brook North Soil Sampling Highlights - A grid of soil samples was collected over an area of approximately 2.6 km by 2.0 km, with 623 samples taken [20]. - Anomalies for copper and gold were identified along a northeast trend, potentially representing the continuation of the Steep Brook Zone [22]. - Significant previous drill results in the area included 1.29% copper and 0.19 g/t gold over 1.5 m, indicating the potential for further exploration [22]. Vein Zone East Soil Results - Soil sampling at the Vein Zone East target yielded low analytical results, with no significant anomaly trends identified [29][30]. - A small amount of regional prospecting was conducted, resulting in weakly anomalous values of copper and gold in two samples collected north of the Camp Brook prospect [30][31]. Next Steps - The technical team will integrate soil results with data from previous drilling and geophysical surveys to plan further exploration, including diamond drilling at Lower Mitchell [36]. - The Lower Mitchell target is noted for its accessibility, which will facilitate exploration efforts [36].
