-- An independent specialist geology consultant has validated and enhanced the geological understanding of GoldHaven Resources' (GOH.CN) Copecal project in Brazil, the company said Friday.
This was after a detailed review of drill core and data from an inaugural diamond drilling program of nine holes totaling 1,085.7 meters, GoldHaven said.
The review confirmed the potential for large-scale, structurally controlled hydrothermal gold system. Clear vectors to higher-grade mineralization were identified at the East and West targets, the company said.
The company plans to advance an expanded drill program in 2026.
"The geological features identified at Copecal with the initial phase of drilling remain encouraging and consistent with the expected signature of an intrusion-related, hydrothermal system," Senior Project Geologist Gustavo Almeida said.
"At the scale of the project, the association of gold and gold-copper anomalism with fold hinge structures and magnetic features provides a clear and technically sound framework for follow-up drilling," Almeida said.
