RE: Boron isotope/tourmalineExerpt from May 27th NR in MR's description of the Sullivan geology as associated with what they were finding then, and the mention of tourmaline
“At the time of this press release, DDH-006 is at adepth of 10,268 FT and is in what appears to be disseminated galena(lead sulfide), with minor sphalerite and chalcopyrite (coppersulfide), and with strong stockwork veining predominantly along theaxis of the core,” said Mr. Russell. “The nature of the stockworkveining gives us reason to believe that the next mineralized bed in theseries may be primarily galena with chalcopyrite and sphalerite. Wehave reset the target depth of DDH-006 to 10,500 FT in anticipation ofan extended intersection of primarily galena mineralization.”
“In regards to the geologic model, the prevalence ofalternating feldspar and silicate layers immediately above themineralized intercept is further evidence that a Sullivan style systemmay exist at Two Mile. While hole DDH-005A showed a similar series ofalternating rock types, the series intersected thus far in hole DDH-006looks considerably thicker,” emphasized Mr. Russell.
“We want to stress that the apparent deficiency ofpyrrhotite (iron sulfide) within the main mineralized beds makes theTwo Mile discovery remarkably different than the Sullivan deposit.Pyrrhotite appears to have caused grade-dilution in the desirableminerals at the Sullivan.”
The Company will be looking for additional Sullivanrock types as drilling progress continues. We are analyzing the extentof tourmalinite within the feldspar, as it was particularly indicativeof adjacent sulfide mineralization at the Sullivan deposit.
