RE:RE:Teck announces zinc initiativeHmmmm. Thanks for that post ilikezn !
Very interesting ! Thanks for posting that article. So you have Teck / Korea Zinc - owning the Cirque deposit. While the article mentions the JV between Teck/KZ and ZNX - for 3 earlier stage highly prospective properties (Pie, Yuen, Cirque East) -- it should also mention that ZNX's Akie deposit (over 30 million tonnes of 10% Zn+Pb) is only 20km away from the Cirque deposit ! Think of the possibilities... $$$$$ I am long ZNX. Northern BC zinc
Cirque, a Northern BC zinc project Teck is advancing under a 50-50 partnership with Korea Zinc, is another world-class asset under the Zinc Satellite initiative.
While Teck has not published a modern resource estimate, according to a 1990s calculation, the Cirque Main deposit hosts 24.7 million metric tons of historical reserves averaging 8.5% zinc, 2.3% lead, and 50.8 g/t silver.
Copper Fox Metals Inc.
Teck completed 4,688 meters of metallurgical drilling during the 2022 season at the Schaft Creek porphyry copper project in British Columbia's Golden Triangle.
Located close to existing infrastructure, Teck says concentrates from Cirque could easily be delivered to Trail, a Southern BC smelting and refining facility owned by the company that processes concentrates from the Red Dog Mine.
The Teck-Korea Zinc JV also owns a 51% interest in three properties adjacent to Cirque – Pie, Cirque East, and Yuen.
ZincX Resources Corp., which holds the other 49% interest in these projects, has a total of 11 properties that cover a 140-kilometer- (87 miles) long stretch of the Kechika Trough.
