Mineral Exploration

SOUTHEAST REGION 50 Mineral Exploration | amebc.ca Precious metal projects The Greenwood district continued to see activity from several companies in 2018. KG Exploration Inc. (Kinross Gold Corporation) continued exploring for base metal and epithermal gold mineralization on 27,346 hectares optioned from Grizzly Discoveries Inc. The land package is just north of its Kettle River operations in Washington State, which has a mill capacity of 1,800 tonnes per day. The company drilled at the Midway project to follow up on 2017 drilling that encountered 9.7g/t gold over 0.8 metres. Also in the Greenwood mining camp, Golden Dawn Minerals Inc. began rehabilitation work, mapping and sampling at the underground Lexington mine, with channel sample results of up to 30.18 g/t gold and 4.93 per cent copper over 1.8 metres. The firm also began work to upgrade and permit the Lexington mill (200-400 tonnes per day) and continued work on compiling data from its Phoenix project, an 11,000-hectare land package acquired from Kettle River Resources Ltd. GGX Gold Corp. drilled and trenched at its Gold Drop property, targeting a system of parallel high-grade epithermal veins. In the West Kootenays, Margaux Resources Ltd. was delayed by fires in the area, but started drilling at its Bayonne project late in the year, targeting a past- producing vein system. Margaux also began lab-based, sensor sorting tests on samples from historic dumps on its Sheep Creek property. In the East Kootenays, PJX Resources Inc. mapped and sampled at the Dewdney Trail project as well as at its Zinger project. PJX staked additional ground over a new mineral showing, and also obtained drill permits on both properties for upcoming drilling. Polymetallic base and precious metal projects SEDEX and associated polymetallic mineralization in Mesoproterozoic rocks continued to be targets in the East Kootenay. PJX Resources Inc. continued drilling at the Vine property and encountered massive sulphides and alteration similar to that near the historic Sullivan mine. Highway 50 Gold Corp. continued drilling at its Monroe property and encountered disseminated and bedded sulphides, albite fragmental and sulphide-clast fragmental rocks, intense sericitic alteration and vein (pyrrhotite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, quartz) stockworks. At the Irishman project, Teck Resources Limited drilled on targets identified from 2017 magnetotelluric surveys. Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. drilled at the Iron Range project along structure to test ground- based high-resolution IP targets from its 2017 work.
