RE: RE: newsCopper, zinc and silver ...
from the release:
The results of the soil geochemical survey clearly define five distinctly anomalous multi element copper, zinc and silver geochemical trends. The attitude of the anomalies closely parallels the orientation of the Rainstorm, Creek, Copper Crown and Ruby Zones located immediately north-east of the geochemical grid, central to Copper Mine Lake. The strongest soil geochemical anomalies appear related to the southwest extension of the Rainstorm Zone and Creek Zone trends which can be traced intermittently over a distance of up to 1000m. The geological mapping program broadly identified the major units underlying the survey grid. During the course of the mapping program, three areas of historical trenching were located in close proximity to anomalous soil geochemical results.
Outcrop exposure is considered very good on the southwest facing slopes underlying the gridded area. Field examination of the anomalous geochemical soil sample sites along the anomalous trends are recommended to determine the possible cause for the anomaly. Prospecting along these trends is further recommended to locate structures favourable for hosting copper, zinc, silver mineralization.
Soil samples were collected by shovel from the B-Horizon at an average depth of 20-30 cm. The sampled material was placed in standard kraft paper soil sample bags and delivered to Acme Analytical Laboratories in Vancouver, B.C. for analysis, utilizing the Acme 1DX 36 element ICP-MS analytical process.
The rock samples were analyzed by Acme using their 1E 35 element ICP-ES method.
The Property has an ideal location for operations with established infrastructure including close proximity to:
- a natural gas pipeline;
- a major hydro power transmission line and transformer sub-station; and
- is located only 15 kilometers from the CN rail line in Houston, BC.
Bard is earning a 100% interest in the Property under the terms of an option agreement (see News Release dated May 9, 2007). The Grouse Mountain exploration work is being conducted under the supervision of Qualified Person Rick Kemp, P.Geo.
