Assay results pending? Taken from a new release dated November 2nd, 2018
Todd Creek
A first phase six kilometer time domain induced polarization survey was conducted by Simcoe Geoscience on Sojourn's Todd Creek project, located about 40 km southeast of Seabridge Gold Inc.'s KSM porphyry copper-gold project. The survey indicates a significant chargeability anomaly underlies the Yellow Bowl zone, an approximately 3 km strike length corridor of strongly altered and variably Cu-Au mineralized intermediate volcanic rocks, porphyritic intrusions and associated breccias of likely Lower Jurassic age. Historical rock chip sampling of the Yellow Bowl zone includes Cu assays up to 6.7% and Au values up to 1.7 grams per tonne. These historical assays have not been verified by Sojourn. Fifty-two rock samples were collected across the Yellow Bowl target area during the 2018 reconnaissance program and focused on recently deglaciated exposures of chalcopyrite bearing hydrothermal breccias. The occurrences contain clasts of multi-brecciated quartz-chalcopyrite veins in a matrix of pyrite and chalcopyrite. These mineralized breccias are often spatially related to strongly altered porphyritic intrusions and associated hydrothermal-magmatic breccias. Local molybdenite veining has been observed in these porphyritic intrusions; the first time that porphyry style mineralization has been documented at Yellow Bowl. Despite its size and the presence of widespread Cu-Au occurrences, the Yellow Bowl zone has yet to undergo drill testing. The company aims to conduct a partner funded, first phase drill test of Yellow Bowl for an underlying porphyry copper-gold system in 2019.
Rock sampling and reconnaissance geological mapping approximately 5 km southeast of the Yellow Bowl has confirmed the presence of outcropping volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) style mineralization, hosted by mafic volcanic rocks and sedimentary rocks of interpreted Middle Jurassic age. Sampling of the zone by previous workers yielded grades up to 0.62 g/t Au, 3.73% Cu, and 9.77% Zn. These historical assays have not been verified by Sojourn. Assays for rock samples collected during the 2018 reconnaissance program are pending. The occurrence of widespread tuff breccias containing massive sulfide clasts suggests the footprint of VMS style mineralization in the zone is larger than previously thought. The zone was discovered in 2008 and has not been drill tested.
A new zone of rhyolite breccia was discovered on the eastern side of the Todd Creek valley in recently exposed terrain at higher elevation dubbed the Smokin' zone. The rhyolite breccia is approximately 30 m true thickness and strata-bound between a calcareous laminated mudstone footwall and mafic volcanic hanging wall of interpreted Middle Jurassic age. Rhyolite clasts are set in a matrix of very-fine sooty pyrite, arsenopyrite, chalcedonic quartz, open-space vugs and minor carbonaceous material (coal), indicating a shallow subaqueous environment. Nineteen samples were collected with assays pending.
Ninety-three rock samples were collected across the Todd creek project during the 2018 field program. Assay results will be reported once received and reviewed for quality assurance.
Oweegee Dome
A preliminary 2 kilometer time domain induced polarization survey was conducted by Simcoe Geoscience on Sojourn's Oweegee Dome project, located 45 km east of Seabridge Gold Inc.'s KSM porphyry copper-gold project. The property is contiguous with mineral tenures owned by Seabridge and is bisected by Highway 37 and the Northwest Transmission Line. Results for the 2018 IP survey are pending. Reconnaissance prospecting, mapping and sampling during 2018 yielded the discovery of multiple new outcropping zones of porphyry copper-gold mineralization up to 1.7 km from the known Delta porphyry copper-gold target and indicate the footprint of porphyry copper-gold mineralization on the property is larger than previously recognized. Assays for 75 rock samples from the property are pending. Future work on the project will include further geological mapping, geochemical sampling, and geophysical surveys with the aim of outlining the extent and prospectivity of these newly discovered zones.
Willoughby
Reconnaissance geological mapping and sampling was conducted at Sojourn's 100% owned Willoughby project, an intrusion related Au-Ag system located 7 km east of and adjacent to IDM Mining's Red Mountain project. The Red Mountain project has recently reached a major permitting milestone, having recently received an environmental assessment certificate from the provincial government. Historical drilling on the Willoughby project has intersected significant Au-Ag mineralization, with intervals up to 20.5 m of 24.98 g/t Au and 184.21 g/t Ag (drill hole 89-06, North Zone). These historical assays have not been verified by Sojourn. Assays for rock samples collected during the 2018 reconnaissance program are pending.
