Phase II drill program completed at Blue Nose
The Phase II drill program targeted a stratigraphic horizon exposed on the surface to the east of the first phase drill holes. This area is assumed to contain the high grade CaCo3 material. Due to a shallower than expected dip of the underlying Dolomite horizon to the east, substantial MgO material was encountered on the central and south portions of the drill plan at shallow depths. This trend will be accounted for in the upcoming Phase III drill plan.
Drilling results from the north east portion of the Phase II drilling encountered thick intercepts of cement grade material to depths of 300 feet. Detail mapping has been completed at a scale of 1"=200' and, in conjunction with the completed drilling, has allowed us to sort out and clarified the local area geology. This will enable the Company to specifically target favorable horizons with drilling for cement grade carbonates.
The carbonate zone is bounded on all sides by recent volcanic flows but sufficient exposure of carbonates would appear to indicate potential for significant cement grade material. A Plan of Operations is being submitted this month consisting of 188 holes and 40,000 feet of drilling with the ultimate purpose of grid drilling the property. It is expected that the Plan of Operations drilling will commence early next year.
