Au Gold Corp (TSXV: AUGC) (the “Company” or “AUGC”) is pleased to provide details of the recent research and subsequent historical long section reconstruction along the Shaw-McFarlane Trend (“SMT” or “Trend”) at its Havelock Gold-Antimony project in Victoria, Australia.
The Company has completed its research and compiled the findings from a series of documented historical shafts (approximately seventeen) and significant workings along the central portion of the Havelock property spanning a strike length of 5 kilometers (“km”) of the 9 km Shaw-McFarlane Trend. The bulk of the historical gold production is reported from a series of mines within a 2.34 km central portion of the Trend. Figure 1 shows the Havelock southern exploration license with plan view maps of the northerly trending SMT and the distribution of the main workings in long section.
Between 1864 and 1891, the total recorded hard rock gold production from the mines along the SMT was approximately 17,097 ounces at an average grade of 28.7 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold. The majority of this reported production is from the mines between McFarlane’s and Rob Roy illustrated on Figure 1. The most extensive series of workings are situated at Shaw’s Main where approximately 11,400 ounces of gold was extracted with the lowest level of the mine recorded at 500 feet (152 m). All other mines along the trend were worked to levels shallower than 350 feet (107 m).
