That was in the early s, before Bolivia became a rather unfriendly place to explore for mineral deposits.
At the time, the country was a thriving centre for mineral exploration. Fremont recently cut short a drill program at the original Gold Bar after the first three holes failed to intersect significant mineralization. The company will also undertake a discovery drill program this summer at its North Carlin project at the northern end of the Carlin trend.
Drilling will target a gold and mercury soil anomaly that is coincident with a magnetic high. At least 1, metres of drilling is planned.
Recently concluded magnetic and soil surveys revealed geophysical and geochemical anomalies at Roberts Creek that coincide with multiple faults, according to a Feb.
Fremont optioned one claim block from Ely Gold Royalties and staked the rest. Moore is an Aussie-American who landed in Vancouver from the jungles of the Amazon and now makes his home in Lisbon, Portugal. As for Moore right , the geologist has hit a few bottoms himself and bounced back β both before and after the Bolivian bar venture. Working as a contract geologist based out of Australia, Moore got his first taste of jungle exploration in Papua New Guinea. Those were early days for mineral exploration in PNG.
