Canary Gold Corp. (CSE: BRAZ; OTCQB: CNYGF; Frankfurt: K5D) has announced additional technical observations and recommendations from Clara Maria Lamus Molina, a specialist in alluvial gold deposits, providing a roadmap to advance the Rio Madeira alluvial gold project from preliminary geological observations toward systematic, representative and auditable technical data. The review supports the company's view that Rio Madeira represents a prospective large-scale alluvial exploration target, where the next phase will depend on disciplined validation of paleochannel geometry, gravel continuity, recoverable gold content and volumetric grade.
The review highlights several positive indicators at the Madeira River Project, including active alluvial gold mining within the Madeira River system and visible free gold observed during inspections of active mining operations. However, the company cautions that these observations provide regional geological context only and are not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the company's property. Favourable gravel intervals have been identified in areas of exploration interest, and geomorphological features compatible with alluvial plains, terraces, paleochannels and high-energy channel environments have been noted. Paleochannels and coarse-gravel systems are identified as priority targets for alluvial gold concentration.
A central recommendation from Ms. Molina is the use of sonic drilling in priority target areas. Sonic drilling is considered well suited to unconsolidated alluvial environments because it can improve sample recovery, preserve stratigraphic relationships, reduce interval contamination, improve fine-material recovery and support more accurate measurement of recovered sample volume. These factors are critical in alluvial gold exploration, where gold distribution can be irregular and reliable evaluation depends on representative sampling, volume control and repeatable recovery methods.
Future work is expected to focus on systematic sonic drilling in priority areas; metre-by-metre geological logging; recovered-volume measurement by interval; controlled sample processing and gravity concentration; gold-particle recovery, classification and weighing; laboratory validation of selected samples; robust QA/QC and chain-of-custody procedures; and geological-volumetric modelling. The company has also reviewed mature alluvial systems such as the Nechí alluvial gold system in Colombia, operated by Mineros S.A., as an educational benchmark for how alluvial systems can be evaluated and advanced when sufficient drilling, volume control, recovery testing, mine planning and QA/QC have been completed.
Mark Tommasi, President of Canary Gold, stated: 'Rio Madeira exhibits several characteristics commonly associated with alluvial gold systems, including interpreted paleochannel targets, favourable gravel horizons and active alluvial mining within the broader Madeira River region. The next step is disciplined validation. Ms. Molina's review gives us a clear technical pathway to test the project in a way that is systematic, auditable and meaningful for investors.'
The company cautions investors that exploration at the Madeira River Project remains at an early stage. No mineral resource has been defined, and there can be no assurance that continued exploration will result in the delineation of an economic mineral deposit. Geological interpretations, including interpreted paleochannel targets, remain subject to further drilling, sampling, testing and validation.
