Tasca Resources Ltd. (TAC.V) has acquired the Selish Mountain property, a 290-hectare block approximately 15 kilometres southwest of Merritt, B.C., and 10 kilometres to the north of Westhaven Ventures Inc.'s Shovelnose gold property, where recent drilling has returned intersections of 8.95 grams per tonne gold over 46.2 metres and 24.5 g/t gold over 17.77 metres.
Historic exploration on the Selish Mountain property consists of geological mapping, soil sampling and induced polarization surveys for porphyry copper in the early 1970s. Excavator trenching and diamond drilling uncovered sulphide mineralization in the intrusive and hosting volcanics, consisting of disseminations, blebs and discontinuous stringers of chalcopyrite and molybdenite. This description is taken from the B.C. Ministry of Energy and Mines Minfile database.
The Selish Mountain property is underlain by mafic to felsic pyroclastic rocks and flows with lesser argillite, sandstone and local carbonate of the upper Triassic Nicola group. The western third of the property is underlain by fine through coarse clastic sediments of the Eocene Princeton group. A small dioritic intrusion of late Triassic early Jurassic age lies immediately south of the property boundary.
Tasca suspects the historic exploration was solely focused on copper and assaying was likely restricted to copper as well. Tasca plans a reconnaissance trip to the property to view outcrops and take some preliminary samples to assess the precious metal potential of the property.
