Gold Bull Resources Corp. reported the success of its field spectrometer analysis at Sandman, located near Winnemucca in Nevada, USA. The Company has validated that the field spectrometer has identified buddingtonite at the Sandman property in association with known gold mineralization. This confirms the suitability of using a field spectrometer to assist in detecting alteration minerals that may have a close proximity to gold mineralization. Buddingtonite is an ammonium feldspar mineral that is directly associated with the high-grade gold (& silver) veins at the Sleeper Gold deposit. The Sleeper deposit is located 23kms north of Sandman and yielded circa 2Moz of gold and 2.3 million ounces of silver during its production years from 1986 to 1996. Buddingtonite is considered an excellent epithermal vein pathfinder for gold mineralization and is found in association with Nevada's gold deposits. Buddingtonite is not easily identified in hand specimen as it does not occur in abundance, nor can it be confirmed by the standard multi-element geochemical analysis due to ammonium content NH4 (buddingtonite mineralogical formula NH4AlSi3O8). One of the quickest and easiest ways to measure the presence of buddingtonite in a rock sample in the field, is by a field spectrometer unit, which identifies the monoclinic crystal system spectra giving indication that buddingtonite is likely to be found within the rock sample. This gold pathfinder can now be applied to other rock samples at the Sandman project in search of additional gold deposits. The Company now plans to conduct soil-gas orientation test work over the four deposits at Sandman in June 2023 to try to identify gold mineralized structures which are emitting gas, if successful this approach could be further applied to targeting greenfields exploration in the region, seeking a new discovery. Due to the localised geothermal activity, soil-gas testing is considered a
potential prospective tool. This is a preliminary scientific survey aimed to help vector towards those structures that could be gold bearing however are typically covered by a thin veneer of unconsolidated sand dune. This scientific approach has not been tested in Nevada to the knowledge of the Gold Bull technical team yet represents another low-cost exploration tool for exploring undercover in this fertile gold bearing district.
