State-of-the-art geophysical methods are also seeing success in the Triangle. Simcoe Geoscience has been engaged by explorers to utilize their Wireless Alpha Induced Polarization and Omega Magnetotelluric geophysical surveys that have resulted in significant mineral discoveries. The Alpha IP survey, suitable for find- ing low sulphidation epithermal gold deposits, is deep-seeking and produces high-resolution images. Magnetotellurics is an electromagnetic geophysical method for inferring the earth's subsurface electrical conductivity from measurements of natural geomag- netic and geoelectric field variation at the Earth's surface. It can scan down to depths of over 10,000 metres. A number of Golden Triangle explorers have benefited from Simcoe's geophysical surveys, including Ascot Resources, Tudor Gold, Teuton Resources and American Creek to name a few. Significant fund raising, better access – with and without helicopters – and the retreat of glacial ice and snow (which is revealing mineralization never before seen) are also contributing factors to the discovery of several types of deposits, including high-grade gold and silver veins, large scale porphyries and volcano- genic massive sulphide deposits. Below is a selection of active explora- tion and mining companies in the Golden Triangle: Aben Resources Ltd. [ABN-TSXV; ABNAF-OTCQB; E2LFSE] has received assays from the 2019 drill exploration pro- gram at the Forrest Kerr gold project. The objective was to test a specific area of the North Boundary Zone, as well as the area around the historic Noranda hole and a corresponding new zone of sericite altera- tion south of the Noranda hole. Initial results are from three widely spaced holes located peripheral to the main zone of mineralization at North Boundary. Hole FK18-17 returned 52.00 metres grading 1.82 g/t gold from 232.00 metres to 284.00 metres, including 31.4, 22.5 and 8.4 g/t over one-metre intervals. Hole FK19-52 included a 16-metre interval averaging 2.22 g/t gold, 2.39 g/t silver and 3,050 ppm copper. American Creek Resources Ltd. [AMK-TSXV; ACKRF-OTC] has three prop- erties in the Golden Triangle; the Treaty Creek and Electrum joint ventured with Tudor Gold/Walter Storm as well as the 100%-owned, past-producing Dunwell Mine near Stewart where a drill program is underway. A major drill program is underway at Treaty Creek by operator Tudor Gold. There are two drills on the Goldstorm Zone with the goal of defining a signifi- cant maiden gold resource. The last hole reported included a 780-metre intercept of 0.683 g/t gold, including a higher grade upper portion of 1.095 g/t over 370.5 metres. The Treaty Creek Project is a joint ven- ture with Tudor Gold owning 60% and acting as operator. American Creek has a 20% carried interest with no NSR. Teuton has a 20% free/carried interest in the Treaty Creek discovery to a production notice plus a 1% NSR over the Goldstorm deposit and owns 2.975 million shares of Tudor. Drilling is also underway at the 100%- owned Dunwell Mine near Stewart. Ascot Resources Ltd. [AOT-TSXV; AOTVF-OTCQX] plans to restart the past- producing historic Premier gold mine. The company continues to define high- grade resources for underground mining with the near-term goal of converting the underground resources into reserves, while continuing to explore nearby targets on its Premier/Dilworth and Silver Coin properties. Ascot's acquisition of IDM Mining added the high-grade gold and sil- ver Red Mountain Project to its portfolio.
