WINDFALL GEOTEK AI VALIDATES MAJOR DISCOVERY: TOMAGOLD INTERSECTS 5.75% ZNEQ OVER 98.5 METRES AT BERRIGAN DEEP
Windfall Geotek Inc. has released recent drilling results from
TomaGold Corp. have confirmed a major new mineralized discovery at the Berrigan mine project, validating high-priority areas/targets(zero to 300 metres) identified in June, 2024, by Windfall's proprietary AI system.
Highlights of the discovery
-
Major intercept:
Drill hole
TOM-25-015
intersected
5.75 per cent ZnEq (zinc equivalent) (1.34 g/t AuEq (gold equivalent)) over 98.5 m, including a high-grade interval of
26.67 per cent ZnEq (6.26 g/t AuEq) over 4.90 m.
-
Berrigan Deep discovery:
The AI-driven targeting successfully identified the potential for mineralization at depth, leading to the discovery of the Berrigan Deep zone, which remains open at depth.
-
Proven accuracy:
Windfall's AI reduced the effective search area by
98 to 99 per cent on the entire project, allowing TomaGold to focus exploration on the specific 50 m by 50 m cells that yielded these transformative results.
The power of digital exploration
Using its proprietary AI system in combination with a strong historical exploration database and SIGEOM data covering
1,263.98 square kilometres, Windfall identified 11 high-priority zinc targets in June, 2024. The latest results from TomaGold's winter drilling campaign confirm the presence of a large, active hydrothermal system.
The discovery in hole TOM-25-015, located at a depth of over 450 metres, represents a significant success for Windfall's Berrigan sector digital model. By analyzing over
112,704 historical assays
and evaluating
505,755 data cells, the AI system predicted the structural controls and geological patterns that have now been confirmed through physical drilling.
Management commentary
Michel Fontaine, president and chief executive officer of Windfall Geotek, commented:
"The results announced today by TomaGold are a 'watershed moment' for Windfall Geotek. Intersecting nearly 100 metres of mineralization in a zone like Berrigan Deep proves that our AI doesn't just find targets -- it finds deposits. By leveraging 20 years of data and machine learning, we provided TomaGold with the digital map in top to this discovery. This is the ultimate validation of our technology as a critical decision-support tool for the modern geologists."
Technical details and next steps
Several mineralized zones remain open in all directions. TomaGold has indicated that 2-D and 3-D modelling is currently under way to further target the 250- to 500-metre interval, utilizing the experiences and vectors in 2-D and 3-D provided by senior geologists, Windfall's AI and upcoming geophysical surveys.
The technical information presented in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Grigor Heba, principal geologist of Windfall Geotek, and a qualified person (QP) as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
