Fox news Eleven of the twelve holes successfully intersected tungsten-bearing skarn (calc-silicate rock) in the Nightcrawler - Creek area, which is located at low elevation and accessible by logging roads and short drill trails. The holes range from 107.80 to 260.91 m in depth. Drill hole survey details are included in Table 1 below.
Drilling between 2007 and 2020 in the Nightcrawler - Creek area has returned promising results over a 3 kilometre-wide area. For example, hole F20-06 cut 3.38 m grading 1.08% WO3, and hole F19-02 cut 6.3 m grading 0.43% WO3.
The goal of the 2021 drilling was to step out from the previous wide-spaced drill intersections to build towards a maiden resource estimate at Nightcrawler – Creek, which can add to current resources at the RC, BN and BK Zones, located five to seven kilometres to the north.
Scheelite, an important tungsten-bearing mineral, was identified by ultraviolet (UV) lamping in as many as five skarn layers in eleven of twelve holes drilled in 2021, with individual mineralized intersections ranging in thickness from 0.15 to 5 m. Down-hole intervals are interpreted to be 70 to 90% of true thickness. A total of 389 samples have been delivered to the laboratory and assay results are expected within six to eight weeks.
In addition, the Company has located several new areas of high-grade tungsten mineralization through prospecting and UV lamping. Twenty-five rock samples including 17 chips (0.2 to 3.0 m in width) one grab and seven float samples were collected from areas north and south of the RC Zone, in the eastern Creek Zone, and along new logging roads in the vicinity of the September showing. Results will be compiled and released when they are received.
