Earth AI, a predictive explorer and driller for clean energy metals using artificial intelligence (AI) of Australia, has announced the discovery of a new gold system at its molybdenum-gold project in Willow Glen.
The discovery, made using the company’s proprietary AI software to drill 650 m of rock, yielded seven intercept samples of mineralised gold. The discovery is of economic grade gold, at approximately 1.14 g of gold per tonne of rock. Earth AI will follow-up with continued mapping and drilling to assess the nature of the mineralisation and the size, grade, and economic value of the deposit.
The Willow Glen Project is located approximately 400 km north of Sydney, near the Guyra township, New South Wales, Australia. The project rests within the New England Orogen (NEO) geological province, known to be prospective for intrusion-related tin-tungsten and gold-bismuth-molybdenum-silver systems as well as orogenic gold-antimony systems (Partington, et al. 2017).
To date, Earth AI’s exploration has been focused on a small window of exposed Permian felsic intrusive rocks and Carboniferous sedimentary rocks (collectively terme
Sandon Beds). Following the gold discovery, the Willow Glen project will be split into two projects, WG_Gold and WG_Moly.
