Exploration - New Gold Mineralisation System Model

Sydney, Feb 3, 2020 AEST (ABN Newswire) - South Africa focused Theta Gold Mines Limited (googlechartASX:TGM) (googlechartTGMGF:OTCMKTS) is pleased to provide an update on the Eastern Transvaal Gold Fields.

CSA Global (an ERM group company) has developed a Mineral System Model (ore genesis and structural geology model) to support the Company's exploration efforts. The new models interpret the role of the intrusive Bushveld Complex as the main source of goldbearing fluids for the Eastern Transvaal Gold Fields (Figure 1*). These models have been used to refine areas for exploration both within the existing 620 km2 tenement package and on a regional scale.

The CSA Global Mineral System model interpreted that east-west structures (faults and joints) provided fluid pathways for mineralising fluids from the Bushveld Complex to the Eastern Transvaal Gold Fields (Figure 2*). Based on these new interpretations, Theta Gold is now assessing the regional exploration potential of the wider Eastern Transvaal Basin.

Theta Gold Chairman Bill Guy commented: "The Company has made strong progress in its understanding of geodynamic controls of the gold mineralisation processes at play in the Eastern Transvaal Gold Fields. The new understanding will promote the next exciting generation of local and regional gold exploration and target generation.

ASTER satellite data and regional magnetics will be reprocessed to form base maps for future exploration. Exploration is always exciting to define new resource targets locally and regionally. The exploration strategy will be carried out on three fronts; exploration to be regionally dominant player; resource development work to increase mine life; and development of the starter-pits Theta open-cut Project to become a highly profitable & sustainable gold producer."
