NGD news Cherry Creek trend
Exploration of the regional mineral tenements as they extend outside the New Afton mine lease will be launched as early as the third quarter of 2019, once permits have been received. Reconnaissance surveys that were completed in 2017 and 2018 identified a 12-kilometre trend of anomalous copper-gold mineralization associated with epithermal- and porphyry-style alteration along the Cherry Creek fault trend, located within three kilometres of the New Afton mine site. Geochemical and geophysical grid surveys are planned to define and prioritize prospective targets to be further evaluated through a first pass drilling campaign scheduled to commence toward the end of the third quarter of 2019.
