Stewart, BC – Decade Resources Ltd (“Decade”) reports that it has received a drill permit for the Nobody Knows claim group which is part of the extensive Treasure Mountain-Nobody Knows-Terrace Gold project in the Terrace BC area. The project stretches from 10 to 40 air kilometers east of Terrace, B.C., on the northern slopes of the Copper River valley. The project consists of 48 contiguous minerals claims totaling 17,470 hectares which form Treasure Mountain, Nobody Knows, Dardanelle (presently farmed out) and Treasure Mountain properties. All 48 mineral claims are 100% owned by Decade Resources Ltd
The 2023 sampling has concentrated on the Nobody Knows # 2 showing area in order to identify the source of a rich bornite-chalcopyrite boulder float rock that assayed 41.2 % copper and 220 grams per tonne silver. As per the July 20 2023 release, the potential zone was identified approximately 50 m uphill from the float rocks. Based on hand trenching, the rich copper bearing zone appears to be in excess of 7m wide within dacitic volcanic rocks. Strong faulting is present along the zone with malachite (copper carbonate) staining within the fault gouge. Red bed volcanic rocks are present in the vicinity of the identified copper bearing source. Based on the association of high silver values with the copper, the Company feels that another belt of red bed associated mineralization has been identified.
The Company is expecting mobilization of a drill in the next several weeks to test this showing. The presence of an extensive network of logging roads will aid in the mobilization and completion of an initial 500m drill program.
The following photos show the rich bornite in Photo 1 from the identified showing as well as disseminated bornite plus a black mineral tentatively identified as chalcocite. In addition to the above 2 copper minerals, chalcopyrite and covellite were also noted. There are no other sulphide minerals noted such as pyrite making the showing unique.
The Treasure Mountain – Nobody Knows properties have a great potential to host copper-silver deposits and/or copper-gold bearing stockworks. At present there are over 14 known copper bearing areas. They feature numerous individual copper occurrences of which only part have been examined in the 2022 exploration program. The main copper occurrences appear to be associated either with basalt or its subvolcanic equivalent (diabase). Other copper occurrences are related to faults and fracture zones. Almost all showings in this area have a similar mineralogy (mostly bornite and chalcocite) and geochemical signature (copper-silver) which suggest the same source of mineralization.
