Toiyabe Hills

The Toiyabe Hills Project is an exploration asset consisting of 6,073 hectares of public land, administered by the Bureau of Land Management (737 unpatented mining claims). Westward has developed the potential to make a significant new discovery through years of diligent land consolidation, the application of systematic field programs, geophysical surveys, and legacy data review. 

Other highlights include:

• Favourable stratigraphy associated with anomalous gold at surface and in drill intercepts
• Existing targets untested laterally and at depth 
• Untested targets associated with surface geochemical anomalies, favourable stratigraphy, and structural controls

Early drilling of the Courtney Zone historical resource demonstrated near surface high-grade mineralization including:

• DH88-373: 67.1m @ 0.88 g Au/t, from surface (incl. 21.3m @ 2.1 g Au/t)
• DH88-296: 19.8m @ 4.03 g Au/t, from surface (incl. 13.7m @ 5.54 g Au/t)
• DTY020: 15.2m @ 0.72 g Au/t from surface, and 36.6m @ 1.12 g Au/t from a depth of 19.8m
• T-603: 18.3m @ 4.47 g Au/t, from a depth of 38.1m (incl. 6.1m @ 12.85 g Au/t)
• T-706C: 16.8m @ 3.66 g Au/t, from a depth of 47.2m (incl. 7.6m @ 7.37 g Au/t)
• T-719: 27.4m @ 2.21 g Au/t, from a depth of 45.7m (incl. 9.1m @ 5.45 g Au/t)

Wider intervals at greater depth indicate widespread disseminated gold mineralization:

• DTY008: 22.9m @ 1.62 g Au/t, from 103.6m (incl. 15.2m @ 2.20 g Au/t)
• T-902C: 42.7m @ 1.37 g Au/t (from 266.7m)
• T-1002BC: 33.8m @ 1.16 g Au/t (from 292.4m)
• T-1601C: 25.9m @ 1.01 g/t (from 278.4m)

Only 16% of drill holes at Toiyabe reached beyond 180 meters: expansion potential at depth
