More claims staked
Mineral explorer Tarsis Resources (TSX-V: TCC) said it has received results from soil geochemical sampling completed on its White River property in Yukon, which has led the company to more than triple the number of claims on its property.
In total, 933 soil samples were collected, with gold values ranging from zero to 0.38 g/t, copper values from 10 ppm to 2,320 ppm (0.23%) and silver values from 0.1 g/t to 21.9 g/t.
The soil assays appear to define at least three discrete, approximately east – west trending zones, ranging from 500 metres to 2 kilometres in length, with widths of 200 to 400m, the company said.
On the back of the encouraging results, Tarsis has staked an additional 120 claims to cover possible extensions to the mineralization found in the program, increasing the size of the property from 48 claims to 168, or 3,500 hectares. The soil sampling covers an area of approximately 4km by 2.5km, at 100m sample spacings.
The company also intends to increase the coverage of the soil sampling, as well as the density of the samples by infill sampling, for which the work will be carried out in spring of next year.
The White River property is located 11km north of the Alaska Highway and 390km west of the capital, Whitehorse.
Tarsis has fourteen mineral properties in Yukon, Canada and one in Mexico.
