Winshear Provides Corporate and Exploration Updates
13 May 2022 - 9:22AM
Winshear Gold Corp. (
TSX-V: WINS)
is pleased to provide the following corporate and exploration
updates.
Highlights
- Tanzania arbitration
- The international
arbitration process before an arbitral Tribunal constituted under
the rules of the International Centre for Settlement of
International Disputes (ICSID) in relation to Winshear’s US$95.5
million (CAD$124.8 million) claim against the Government of
Tanzania for expropriation of the SMP Gold project continues on the
Tribunal’s schedule toward a hearing in the first half of 2023.
Winshear has secured up to US$3.3 million (CAD$4.3 million) of
arbitration funding from a third party in return for a time- and
amount-dependent share of any recovered award.
- Gaban orogenic gold project –
Peru
- On June 10, 2021,
Winshear submitted its Declaracion de Impacto Ambiental (DIA),
the suite of environmental and social studies required to be
completed ahead of drilling at its Gaban gold project in Peru’s
Puno Orogenic Gold Belt (“POGB”). The DIA allows for the
construction of up to 40 drill pads and covers the Coritiri target
at Gaban. Subject to funding, Winshear intends to drill Gaban
as soon as possible after receipt of the DIA, which has been
delayed in the approval process.
- To date, the Gaban
project has consisted of a large northern group of contiguous
concessions focused on the Coritiri and Yanamayo anomaliesand a
smaller group of concessions located a few kilometres to the south,
herein referred to as the “Yang” project (Figure 1). Going forward,
the “Gaban” project name will refer solely to the northern block of
concessions, and Yang to the southern block. Winshear intends to
seek a partner to explore the Yang project.
- Ica IOCG project -
Peru
- Winshear recently
completed a one-month reconnaissance geochemical and mapping
program at the Ica project, the first work on this project since
its acquisition from Palamina. Results show a group of +/- 1 m wide
magnetite-pyrite-chalcopyrite+/- potassium feldspar+/-tourmaline
veins up to several hundred meters long (Figure 2 and Figure 3;
Appendix 1). These veins commonly are oxidized at the surface, but
contain fresh sulfide minerals just a few meters below the surface.
Values up to 6.09% copper and 2.6 grams/tonne gold demonstrate that
veins with potentially economic grades of copper and gold exist on
the property. Winshear plans a ground geomagnetic survey to
determine whether these veins may widen or coalesce at depth, which
could form the basis for a compelling new target.
Dr. Mark Sander, President of Winshear,
commented: "Winshear is progressing well on all fronts. In Tanzania
the rate of progress of the Tanzanian arbitration case is on
schedule toward an early 2023 hearing followed by a decision soon
after. Progress in Peru has been slower than expected as activities
reopen after COVID and as the newly elected government remains slow
to react to needed changes. The Company will, subject to funding,
implement the drill program at Gaban as soon as possible after the
permits are received.”
