SB: TSX Venture Exchange Issued: 54,713,168 shares
At the Captain deposit, hole CP-09-26, the deepest hole to date was drilled 75 metres west of hole CP-08-20, to a depth of 534 metres. In 2008, CP-08-20 intersected 16 metres grading 2.01% copper, 0.045% cobalt (1.0 lb/tonne), 0.43 g/t gold and 11.58 g/t silver, within an 83 metre interval of 0.67% copper & 0.026% cobalt (news release dated
Induced polarization surveying detected a strong IP anomaly 400 metres to the east of the
At CNE, four holes (CNE-09-01 to CNE-09-04) have been drilled on the Mining Lease, collared 50 to 100 metres west and southwest of Stratabound's old open pit. During 1990 to 1992, Stratabound delivered 39,000 tonnes of massive sulphide ore from this pit to Noranda's
Three holes have been drilled on a new IP anomaly in the northeast quadrant of the claim group ("Target B" in news release dated
These two holes passed through several mineralized intervals, 0.5 to 4.5 metres in width, containing 8% to 20% pyrite which occurs as heavy disseminations, layers, stringers, and cherty sulphide iron formation. Two half-metre wide arsenopyrite-rich zones have been intersected in B-09-02 within the 61 to 63.5 metre interval. B-09-03 contains less arsenopyrite than B-09-02. The third hole testing Target B, B-09-01, was located 900 metres south of the other two, intersecting less abundant disseminated pyrite in cherty felsic tuffaceous sediments. Assays are pending on all three holes.
North of CNE, hole A-09-01 was drilled near the property's northern boundary to test Target A1, a magnetic anomaly flanking a weak gradient IP anomaly. The hole intersected the magnetic anomaly between 96 and 132 m, and shows it is caused by variable amounts of pyrrhotite. The most interesting interval occurs between 105 and 125 metres down the hole, where disseminations and veins of pyrite and pyrrhotite with minor chalcopyrite make up 2% to 10% of the host rock throughout the interval. Assays are pending.
The remaining two holes, SC-09-01 and SC-09-02, tested Target F, a magnetic/EM/basal till anomaly located 2.6 kilometres south of the
