Fortuity 89
Highlights
Discovery Harbour retains 106 mineral claims following the exploration program conducted by Newcrest Resources Inc.
In 2021, Discovery Harbour optioned the property to Newcrest which carried out a multi-phased exploration program including magnetic, gravity and audio band magetotelluric geophysical surveys, mapping and alteration studies, soil geochemical surveys, mapping and alteration studies, soil geochemical sampling and reverse circulation drilling. The drilling was unseccessful in intersecting significant gold and Discovery Harbour returned a portion of the original Fortuity 89 property to the underlying vendors.
Discovery Harbour has retained Fortuity 89 claims for future exploration, subject to other opportunities it is considering.
Location and Property Description
Discovery Harbour holds the early stage epithermal gold Fortuity 89 property, which covers close to 9 square kilometres. Fortuity 89 is located in a well mineralized area of southwestern Nevada with various mines and deposits in the Walker Lane and Northhumberland Gold Trends.
Fortuity 89 is in a large gravel plain. Limited outcrop nearby is strongly altered and other indications are consistent with the area being very high in a potentially gold bearing epithermal system. The previous drilling was east of the current Fortuity 89 property.
Evidence supporting this includes the alteration signature of the limited outdrop, the presence of reed fragments, which indicates that this outcrop in on a paleosurface with the epithermal system preserved below, and opaline silica.
