Potentially high-grade gold mineralization may lie beneath sinter as indicated by widespread gold anomalies in surface samples,\u201d the media brief states. \u201cCombining OceanaGold\u2019s 2019 work with pre-Bravada shallow drilling and Bravada\u2019s previous mapping and sampling in the area has resulted in the identification of several attractive target areas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The miner said that fieldwork began with staking 29 new claims, increasing the property to 192 claims that occupy 1,554 hectares. The next step would be detailed targeting, which is planned prior to permitting drill sites.
