CUU own 25% Schaft Creek: proven/probable min. reserves/940.8m tonnes = 0.27% copper, 0.19 g/t gold, 0.018% moly and 1.72 g/t silver containing: 5.6b lbs copper, 5.8m ounces gold, 363.5m lbs moly and 51.7m ounces silver; (Recoverable CuEq 0.46%)
"DDH CF419-2011: was completed for geotechnical purposes at the south end of the proposed Liard zone starter pit and intersected continuous mineralization starting at a core length of 10.2m to a depth of 257.7m where the mineralization is cut off by a flat lying mylonitic fault zone. "
So the mineralization occured after the shearing event. Does this suggest 419 marks the edges of the main system going south east?
Elmer - My interpretation is that the shearing occurred after the mineralization. This is supported by the Titan-24 data as well. DDH419 is in the starter pit of the Liard zone. The mineralization continues to the south for a considerable distance.
Not new just an increase and a confirmation of the slope. You are making a technical drilling into a negative! They wanted to confirm the increased grades and the extra distance while getting slope data.
