2018 Update
During 2018, Typhon carried out various mapping and survey works with the aim of advancing the understanding of the project’s environment.
- A Lidar survey was conducted over an area of about 8 km2 to assist in the detailed mapping and environmental characterization of the area affected by the project.
- The Fayolle stripping site was photographed by a drone to support planning of future work.
Typhoon will use the Private Placement proceeds to finance exploration work on the Fayolle property.
2019 Works
The proposed work phase consists of a minimum of 15 close boreholes that will be drilled with a spacing of 15 to 20 meters to a vertical depth of about 50 meters. The objective is to define the contour of mineralization where the rock is covered by a small thickness of overbuden. The information collected will be used to position a bulk sample and initiate the permitting process.
The Fayolle project’s estimated resources are contained in 548,000 tonnes at an average grade of 5.75 grams per tonne for 101,326 oz in situ, calculated with a cut off grade of 2.5 g/t (Technical Report and Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Fayolle Property, compliant with Regulation 43-101 and Form 43-101F1, prepared for Typhoon Exploration Inc., February 2013, filed on Sedar).
