GoldInxs Mining Corp. has engaged Ripplinger Royalties Corp. to apply its Virtual DRILL remote-sensing technology at the Fishpot Property in central British Columbia, integrating satellite data with conventional geophysics to sharpen drill targets ahead of a planned diamond drill program of up to 2,000 metres.

The remote-sensing system uses Elemental Harmonic Resonance and satellite data to generate interpreted models detailing the spatial location and estimated depth of targeted elements, including gold, silver and copper. Operating at a fraction of the cost of standard geophysical programs, the technology provides an additional data layer designed to identify metal concentration anomalies without requiring extensive physical ground access.

“We are excited to evaluate Virtual DRILL™ as an additional tool within our exploration strategy at Fishpot. We believe this could provide GoldInxs a competitive edge when it comes to evaluating exploration properties. Our objective is to integrate multiple sources of geological and geophysical information to better define and prioritize targets before drilling. By combining conventional exploration techniques such as IP with emerging remote-sensing technology, we believe we can continue to enhance our target-generation process as we advance toward the drill.”

— Nick Michael, President and CEO

The resulting dataset is intended to complement, rather than replace, traditional exploration methods. GoldInxs is evaluating the remote-sensing output alongside ongoing Induced Polarization survey work, traditional geological mapping, geochemical sampling results and airborne geophysics. Any anomalies identified through the technology will undergo validation using conventional datasets before the company initiates its planned drilling.

The exploration work forms part of a broader portfolio strategy that also includes the Millar Property in British Columbia.
