another mine for MAR?Marathon Intersects High Grade Polymetallic Mineralization at Ore Fault: 6.8 m of 2.03% Cu, 4.01% Zn, 200 g/t Ag and 0.58 g/t PGM and Au
Thu Feb 21, 9:25 AM
TORONTO, Feb. 21 /CNW/ - Marathon PGM Corporation ("Marathon" or "the Company") is pleased to report initial assay results from drilling at the Ore Fault North within the Bird River Property in southeast Manitoba.
Highlights
----------
- polymetallic high grade zones (up to 3% Cu, 5% Ni, 4% Zn, and
200 g/t Ag) have been identified at the Ore Fault North
- mineralization occurs as multiple lenses within a 100m thick envelope
that trends north-south for over 300 m
- 8 holes were completed with sulphide zones reported in every hole,
remaining assays are pending
- zones of mineralization are open along strike and to depth
- Ni-Cu and Zn-Cu lenses are very similar to what was mined at the nearby Dumbarton mine
Dave Good, Marathon's VP of Exploration stated, "The historical
exploration focus on the Ore Fault property was nickel. Hole MF-08-03 confirms
the nickel mineralization and also highlights a previously understated
Zn-Cu-Ag and PGM mineralization that occurs in 14 other historic drill holes
from the 1970's."
