Regional Gold Potential
Gairloch is located in United Kingdom, Europe. The surrounding region has historically demonstrated a very low potential for gold endowment and is somewhat distal to other gold properties. Physical setting (moderate elevation, high relief, temperate climate) shapes access, seasonality, and operating costs. Geologically, the area is dominated by Complex lithology, under very thin lithosphere with moderately thick sedimentary cover in a Meso- and Cenozoic Extended Crust tectonic province—factors that inform both deposit style and development complexity.
Drill Intercepts
Reported results (Gold Equivalent) average high grade, very long, and very shallow. The most recent intercepts are benchmarked against a global gold database.
