Canary Gold Corp. (CSE: BRAZ; OTCQB: CNYGF; Frankfurt: K5D) announced it has received additional technical observations and recommendations from Clara Maria Lamus Molina, an internationally recognized geologist-engineer specializing in alluvial gold deposits. The review supports the Company's view that Rio Madeira represents a prospective large-scale alluvial exploration target where the next phase of technical advancement will depend on disciplined validation of paleochannel geometry, gravel continuity, recoverable gold content and volumetric grade.
Ms. Molina's review highlights several positive indicators and technical priorities at the Madeira River Project. These include active alluvial gold mining observed within the Madeira River system, visible free gold observed during inspection of active mining operations (providing regional geological context only), favourable gravel intervals, geomorphological features compatible with alluvial plains and paleochannels, and identification of paleochannels and coarse-gravel systems as priority targets. Sonic drilling is recommended as a preferred validation tool, along with recovered-volume control, standardized logging, granulometry, gold-particle classification, QA/QC, chain-of-custody procedures, and geological-volumetric modelling as a key step toward future resource-readiness.
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 believes the Madeira River Project is best understood through a staged alluvial-gold development pathway. Currently in early stages, the Company has identified preliminary geological indicators and priority paleochannel-style targets. The next phase is intended to validate geometry, continuity, gravel thickness, representative grade and recovery characteristics. A central recommendation is the use of sonic drilling, which 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.
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 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.
Canary has also reviewed mature alluvial gold systems, such as the Nechí system in Colombia operated by Mineros S.A., as an educational benchmark for how alluvial systems can be evaluated when sufficient drilling, volume control, recovery testing, mine planning and QA/QC have been completed. However, Canary cautions that Nechí is not located on or adjacent to the Madeira River Project and is materially more advanced; no inference should be drawn that the Madeira River Project hosts comparable mineralization.
