News! still waiting on assays, like i thought! :) seems we'll just have to wait a little bit longer, 2-3 weeks they say... strange this came out during the day, usually these things come after hours... not a whole lot going on, other than waiting for assays... maybe some new projects coming soon? more speculation.... does this help explain drip-drip-dripping away, from almost 30c to 22c,...and an even bigger drop from the 52w high...
lets hope we hit w/ the assays...
April 27 2022 Vulcan Minerals Inc. Exploration Update St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador - Vulcan Minerals Inc. (“the Company” - “Vulcan” TSX-V: VUL), provides the following exploration update.
Colchester Springdale Drilling Update The Company is still waiting for drill assay results. A total of 1511 meters were drilled over 8 scout holes in late 2021 testing a variety of targets within mafic volcanic sequences at Colchester. Several stringer and disseminated sulfide zones were encountered containing chalcopyrite with variable associations of pyrite, pyrrhotite and sphalerite. The program was successful in intersecting copper sulphide zones visually similar to the stringer zones historically encountered in the Colchester area. A total of 621 samples were cut and submitted for assay. Backlogs in the laboratory are creating extraordinary delays in getting assay results. Results are expected in the next 2-3 weeks. They will be released after compilation and review.
The Colchester project is part of the larger Springdale property which hosts numerous historic copper and gold deposits and showings, none of which have been adequately explored with the benefit of modern digital geophysical and geological modelling. The Springdale property is road accessible and near significant mining services.
