[{"type":"text","content":"Trifecta Gold Announces ZTEM and Magnetic Results from Mt. Hinton Project, Yukon and Describes Ongoing Research StudiesNew exploration results provide strong evidence that mineralization at Mt Hinton is related to a previously unidentified, Reduced Intrusion Related Gold System (\"RIRGS\").Geophysical surveys delineated a 2,000 x 500 metre magnetic low that coincides with an area of high resistivity in an overburden covered area that has seen no trenching or drilling.Prospecting discovered granitic rocks near the geophysical anomalies, further validating the RIRGS model.Mineralogical studies are underway at Simon Fraser University to better characterize the known vein system and determine its relationship to other mineralization in the Tombstone Gold Belt.VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 1, 2024 / Trifecta Gold Ltd. (TSXV:TG)(OTCQB:TRRFF) (\"Trifecta\" or the \"Company\") announces results from its multifaceted 2024 exploration campaign at Mt. Hinton. The Mount Hinton Project (the \"Project\") is ideally located less than 4 km from Hecla Mining Company's Keno Hill mine and mill complex, within a belt of Reduced Intrusion Related Gold Systems (\"RIRGS\") that includes current and former producers and major new discoveries such as Banyan Gold's AurMac deposit, 20 km to the west, Sitka Gold's RC deposit, 80 km to the west, and Snowline Gold's Valley deposit, 180 km to the east (Figure 1). Figure 1 Tombstone Belt Project LocationsGeophysical target delineatedA 440-line kilometre, ZTEM (\"Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic\") and magnetic surveys, flown over the southeastern portion of the Project, have delineated a 1.9 by 1.2 km magnetic high and flanking 2.0 by 0.5 km magnetic low that corresponds with an outstanding, strong resistivity anomaly (the \"GC target\") (figures 2 and 4). These features are commonly associated with the RIRGS model, which typically exhibits a magnetic low directly over a reduced intrusion, flanked by magnetic highs within a surrounding hornfelsed aureole. High resistivity readings are often observed over the hornfelsed rocks but can also be found over strongly silicified zones within the intrusion. The geophysical features at the GC Target are indicative of a hornfelsed aureole overlying a buried intrusion, which may come to surface in the valley floor, within the central magnetic low.The target is located...
