Independence Gold Corp has officially announced the initiation of a comprehensive helicopter-borne geophysical survey, conducted by Precision GeoSurveys Inc., at its 3Ts Project and the recently acquired Tay property. These projects are located to the southwest of Prince George, British Columbia, a region recognized for its geological richness. The survey aims to utilize advanced technology to uncover valuable geological structures and mineral potential in these areas.
The 3Ts Project, situated approximately 185 kilometers southwest of Prince George, encompasses a significant area of thirty-one mineral claims totaling around 35,486 hectares.
This site is strategically positioned just 16 kilometers from the Blackwater Mine, operated by Artemis Gold Inc.. The project features a low-sulphidation epithermal quartz-carbonate vein district, with at least nineteen identified mineralized veins ranging from 50 to over 1,100 meters in length and widths reaching up to 32 meters.

Survey details and objectives
The airborne geophysical survey will span approximately 4,284 line-kilometers, organized into three distinct survey blocks: 3Ts East, 3Ts West, and Tay. The survey will be executed at a modest altitude of 40 meters, with 100-meter spacing between lines, ensuring thorough coverage of the area. Utilizing cutting-edge cesium vapour magnetometers and gamma spectrometers, this survey is expected to yield one of the most detailed datasets ever collected in this region.
The primary aim of this geophysical survey is to map geological features, alteration zones, and lithological boundaries that may correlate with known gold-silver vein systems in the 3Ts district. Moreover, the data collected will be instrumental in identifying new target areas within the expanded Tay Project, thereby enhancing the company’s understanding of the larger epithermal systems at play.
Expected timeline and outcomes
Precision GeoSurveys has projected that data collection will be completed shortly. Following this, the company expects to deliver the processed data and detailed maps within four weeks. This timeline is crucial for the company as it seeks to expedite its exploration efforts and capitalize on potential discoveries.
Insights into the Tay Project
Adjacent to the 3Ts Project, the Tay Project is situated 25 kilometers to the northeast and consists of three mineral claims covering an area of approximately 40 square kilometers. This property is readily accessible via existing roads and is underpinned by the same Jurassic-aged Naglico Formation volcanic and sedimentary rocks, which are known to host gold-silver mineralization similar to the 3Ts Project. Additionally, it has been intruded by Cretaceous felsic to intermediate stocks believed to be associated with regional mineralization events.
Recent regional geochemical assessments by the BC Geological Survey have revealed notable gold and copper anomalies in local stream drainages, exceeding the 95th percentile, indicating a promising potential for exploration. Moreover, summer fieldwork involving geological mapping and prospecting has established critical structural and lithological controls that will enhance the interpretation of the forthcoming geophysical data.
Company overview and future prospects
Independence Gold Corp is a well-capitalized mineral exploration firm, with a diverse portfolio ranging from early-stage grassroots exploration to advanced resource development in British Columbia and Yukon. The company is focused on systematically advancing its projects to increase shareholder value while actively exploring opportunities for acquiring additional gold and silver projects.
