[{"type":"text","content":"Nortec announces new High Grade Gold Discovery at Tom 1 North Target, with grades of up to 34.8 g/T in outcrop, Tomboko Exploration Project, Guinea(via TheNewswire)\n \n \nVancouver, BC / TheNewswire / September 20, 2018 - NORTEC MINERALS CORP. (the \"Company\" or \"Nortec\") (TSXV: NVT): Further to the press release dated August 9, 2018, Nortec announces a new high grade discovery from the company's detailed rock sampling and geochemical termite mound sampling program. Rock samples range from trace to 34.8g/T Au and Termite mound range from trace to 3,159 ppb or 3.16g/T Au, (see Figures 1, 2 & 3).\n\n \n \nThis work also confirms the structural interpretation of the geology at the TOM 1 North Gold target on the Tomboko exploration project, (see Press Release August 9, 2018) and demonstrated a strike length of 2.5 km and a true width of 24m at 3.6g/T Au on the main showing.\n\n\n \n\nClick Image To View Full Size\n\n \n \nThe systematic termite mound sampling returned very significant and high gold values. The gold assays from termite mound samples in Figure 2 supports the grade and continuity of the TOM 1 North Zone A and B targets.\n\n \n \nMohan Vulimiri comments, \"This program helped in understanding the excellent potential of the Tomboko project. The structural control interpretation and the discovery of high grade zone to the north, Nortec has a clear path for the next drill program which will expand on these gold discoveries.\"\n\n \n \n\n\n\nClick Image To View Full Size\n\n\n\n \n \nFigure 2: Termite mound geochemical survey anomaly trends, TOM 1 North Target..\n\n \n \nThe highlights of the recent results are: -\n\n\n \n\n\n1.Follow-up outcrop rock litho-geochemical sampling on the interpreted structural trends to the north returned highly significant gold values ranging from 1.42 g/t to 34.8 g/t. \n\n\n\n2.Termite mound sampling also returned highly anomalous gold values including 3,159 ppb, 1,918 ppb, 3,500 ppb, 1,006 ppb and 1,638 ppb (Figure 3). \n\n\n\n3.These above results confirmed the extensive northerly trends from the previous exploration drilling and trench sampling. Exploration drilling at TOM 1 North produced grades of 9 m at 2.74 g/t gold from 32 m, including 3.57 m at 3.91 g/t gold from 36 m and 7 m at 3.57 g/t gold from 43 m, including one m at 17.1 g/t gold from 45 m (Figures 4 & 5). \n\n\n\n4...
