Projects
Icy Lake-Fae-Slam
- 2011 Exploration Program-- Drilling and mapping/sampling
- Located in NW BC, 125 kms west of Dease Lake
- Icy Lake (Bing Porphyry):
- Porphyry system with potassic and quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration zones and related skarns and epithermal veins over 2 x 3 km area
- Historic drilling (Newmont, 1965) on edges of porphyry system intersected 45 m @ 0.5% Cu, 0.04% Mo and 150 m @ 0.2% Cu, 0.04% Mo
- Skarn rock samples average 2.0% Cu, 400 ppm Mo
- Epithermal vein samples assay 1.0 - 37.0 g/t Au and 4.0 - 125.0 g/t Ag
- The Company plans to commence drilling on the Icy Lake porphyry in spring 2011
- Fae:
- 1 km diameter quartz monzonite porphyry
- Porphyry assays anomalous to 1.7% Cu, 0.63 g/t Au and 533 ppm Mo,
- Veins assay 17.8 g/t Au, 121 g/t Ag and 1.2% Cu
- The Company plans to commence drilling at Fae in spring 2011
- Slam:
- Silicified limestone and limestone breccias over a 200 x 400 m area assay anomolous to 3.8 g/t Au
- Mineralization style similar to Wheaton River's Golden Bear deposit (produced 484,000 ounces Au 1989-2001 at an average grade of 6.9 g/t)
- Slam will be drilled in spring 2011 after Phase 1 drilling at Icy Lake and Fae is completed
- The three projects together provide simplicity and cost-savings in exploration logistics by their proximity, being only 10-12 km apart
