The Juglah Dome Gold Project is located 58 km SW of Kalgoorlie, WA. This project includes a series of new targets and is the result of an exploration collaboration between Kalgoorlie prospectors and Pioneer geologists.
Pioneer commenced drilling sep 2011 at its Juglah Dome Gold Project. The project presents an exciting group of new targets generated through combining the skills of the prospector with those of the geologist. The last modern exploration was conducted some 10-15 years ago, where gold-in-soil geochemistry anomalies were successfully identified, but subsequent drilling failed to resolve a source for the gold.
Since the tenement's grant, Pioneer has completed mapping and additional soil geochemistry, but importantly the project's advancement has been greatly aided by a party of APLA-registered Kalgoorlie- based prospectors.
Over twelve nugget patches have been identified. When this information is combined with conventional gold (Au) and pathfinder element (copper (Cu), arsenic (As)) soil geochemistry; and then overlain on aeromagnetic imagery showing geological structures, a number of coincident targets are evident, and these are rated highly by Pioneer's geologists.
While mapping, rock chips were taken from an outcropping quartz vein. Three samples with visible gold were not submitted, however of 9 others, 5 returned gold values between 3.06g/t and 711g/t.
Three targets have been selected for detailed RAB drilling. Others will follow.
Of importance, Integra Mining Limited recently announced a 256,000oz Mineral Resource for its Majestic Gold Prospect which is approximately 4.5km NW from Pioneer's tenement.
RAB drilling to test other priority multi-element geochemistry/structural targets.
