DECADE IS INVESTIGATING POTENTIAL NEW VMS ZONE AT TERRACE BC GEOLOGICAL CREW SOIL SAMPLING, MAPPING AND SAMPLING
Decade Resources Ltd. is following up on the assay results for an indicated new volcanogenic massive sulphide zone within the Nobody Knows zone. The project is part of a large claim holding consisting of 54 minerals claims, which include the Nobody Knows, Dardanelle (currently farmed out) and Treasure Mountain properties totalling 24,179.7 hectares. All 54 mineral claims are 100 per cent owned by Decade.
The company has carried out a program evaluating the high-grade gold blast boulders located on a logging road within the Nobody knows claim (see Aug. 6 press release). This work has identified a number of unique features for the gold-bearing rocks as follows:
- The rocks contain sulphide cluster, giving the texture impression of an intrusive rock.
- Sulphides include arsenopyrite, pyrite, sphalerite, chalcopyrite and galena.
- The host rock is almost entirely sericite and/or anhydrite with minor quartz. No mafic minerals are noted in the boulders.
- Red soil containing the boulders have small rusty, totally weathered sericite fragments.
- The source area has abundant iron from weathering allowing for the creation of ferrocrete, basically gravel cemented by rust.
- Some of the rocks collected are massive arsenopyrite, none of which have been assayed yet.
- Some rocks contain massive sphalerite as seen in assays released on Aug. 6 2024 (27.15 per cent in JN-24-4).
- The surface of the rocks is highly pitted with a yellow arsenic stain on broken surfaces.
Ed Kruchkowski, PGeo, president of the company, stated: "The presence of numerous high-grade gold boulders with an unusual composition makes this an intriguing target particularly in volcanic terrain. In all the years working in the industry, I have never encountered these type of boulders, particularly ones that are either sericite, anhydrite and/or talc hosting sulphides."
A geological crew has mobilized to the project site to map, soil sample and sample the area of the boulders. The source rocks will be establish once anomalies for arsenic, lead, gold and silver are indicated in a generally overburden covered area.
