Top Gun
Highlights
- Analogous to nearby Paradise Peak Mine – gold mineralization is high-sulfidation epithermal in character
- Minor historic mining at Top Gun is evidenced by numerous prospecting pits and two shafts
- No evidence of modern exploration or drilling
- Gold mineralisation in rhyolitic tuff unit largely overlain by a concealing caprock
- Initial targets are two silicified structures with broad zones of vuggy silica and clay alteration

Exploration Overview
- Initial phase of soil, rock and stream sediment geochemical sampling completed
- Further mapping, stream sampling & geophysical surveys
- Maiden RC drilling program completed January 2022
- Confirmed a gold-silver mineralised epithermal system
- 3.05m at 1.3g/t Au and 26.5g/t Ag from 39.6m in hole TG005; (excludes 1.52m internal interval due to no sample from a historic mining void)
400m along strike from TG005, drill hole TG009 intersected 10.6m at 0.4g/t Au from 42.7m
All 11 holes intersected anomalous gold within broad zones of Ag-As-Sb and silica-pyrite alteration
