Jeff and TV Prospects More information taken from the MD & A shown below. Going to be a fun exploration season for ESK with enormous precious metal potential at the TV and Jeff prospects and numerous targets at the TV-Jeff area. What's not to like. Gotta love it.
Note 2
Jeff and TV
The Jeff showing lies 4 km south-southeast of the Lulu zone and the TV showing 1.5 km south of Jeff. Drilling in 2020 intercepted Au grades as high as 84.4 g/t over 1 meter, and silver grades up to 2430 g/t. The TV and Jeff area has enormous precious metal potential, and is a high priority for exploration in 2021. Au-Ag VMS-related stratiform mineralization occurs within dacite breccia and peperitic mudstone, similar to the ELM Zone at Eskay Creek, and mineralization at SIB-Lulu. The deposits are associated with intense hydrothermal alteration, and stratiform- to stringer-style sulfide and sulfosalt mineralization. The precious metal mineralogy is primarily: arsenian pyrite, arsenopyrite, electrum, miargyrite, and pyrargerite.
A SkyTEM survey of the area shows that known mineralization correlates with distinct high conductivity anomalies. Many such conductivity anomalies that lie on trend with TV and Jeff were discovered. Magnetotelluric (MT) and IP surveys were performed and confirm our model of stacked stratiform sulfide mineralization. As with the SkyTEM survey, the MT and IP surveys have anomalies that correlate well with the SkyTEM data and with sulfide mineralization. Geophysical investigations have confirmed our geologic model, and will be used to plan drilling on the numerous targets in the TV-Jeff area.
