Brookemont Capital Inc. ("Brookemont", "BKT" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:BKT)(PINK SHEETS:BKTPF) reports that its field manager has visited the site of the recently uncovered 4.5 km arsenic soil sampling geochem anomaly, on its Tanzanian property adjacent to the north of Canaco's Magambazi Prospecting License.
Trenching of the zone has uncovered a silicified zone and quartz vein and is being sampled for gold. Visible arsenopyrite was observed in the amphibolites associated with the quartz vein.
The relationship of this arsenopyrite rich volcanic like rock to the area is not clear, but the uniqueness of it could represent a late intrusion into the highly metamorphic terrane and with the presence of the arsenopyrite could be related to the mineralizing "engine" for the mineralization in the area. Investigations of the relationship are continuing.
Field sampling of the drainages cutting in the vicinity of the arsenic geochem anomaly have revealed gold flakes and even a small almost 0.5 mm "nugget" present in the system. The source of the gold is local as the drainages are extremely intermittent and the sample medium was located amid angular boulders within 1 metre of the surface.
The field manager, Laurence Stephenson reports, "The discovery of this zone on BKT's property could be the first example of results of using modern exploration techniques to locate the mineralization as opposed to the previous area discoveries of following up on the artesianal mining efforts of the local small scale miners. There was no apparent knowledge that mineralization was in this area until BKT's crews discovered it."
