- Since 1986, 64 drillholes (both diamond and reverse circulation) totaling 10,990m have been drilled in three campaigns, the most recent being 16 holes totaling 2831m drilled in 2024-2025.
- Drilling has intersected sulphide-hosted gold mineralization (including visible gold) associated with intense silica and sericite alteration of a dacitic diatreme breccia, typical of large gold deposits in the region.
- The breccia matrix is mineralized but it also contains fragments with quartz-vein stockworking indicative of mineralization at depth.
- Multiple historical holes have significant intervals of >1g/t gold, with many ending in ≥1g/t gold, including the following intervals at the end of their holes:
- 43m of 1.18 g/t Au (DT06)
- 35m of 1.23 g/t Au (TT014)
- 26m of 2.09 g/t Au (TT004)
- 58m of 1.42 g/t Au (TT027)
- 82m of 0.93 g/t Au (TDH-010)
- Most of the historical drilling is within 200m of the surface, with the longest hole being 300m (but drilled several kilometres west of the main target).
- The majority of the holes end in anomalous gold grades (5m >0.2 g/t Au), with one quarter ending with 5m >0.5g/t Au: excellent potential for extending mineralization to depth.
- The central diatreme breccia intrudes reactive, calcareous metasedimentary rocks and the highest soil anomaly at surface follows the contact between these units: this contact remains to be drill-tested.
