Tower Resources Ltd. returned to the
Rabbit North copper gold-project. Work
included drilling, mapping and a review of
existing data. The company identified 10
targets in an alkalic porphyry setting 10
kilometres southwest of New Afton.
Troubadour Resources Inc. reported
anomalies outlined by a 3D induced
polarization survey at the Amarillo copper
prospect. The survey coverage included an
area of historic trenching with a reported
125 metres grading 0.87 per cent copper
(not verified by modern sampling). This
area is a target for proposed initial drilling.
In December 2017, the provincial
Minister of Environment and Climate
Change Strategy and the Minister of
Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources
decided not to issue an environmental
assessment certificate to KGHM Ajax
Mining Inc. for the Ajax copper-gold
project. In June 2018, federal authorities
also rejected the proposal. The company
has not announced plans for the property.
Jiulian Resources Inc. carried out a
ground magnetic survey on its Big Kidd
property centred over the Big Kidd breccia
zone, an alkalic copper-gold target. It has
filed a Notice of Work for drilling.
Happy Creek Minerals Ltd. carried out
geological mapping and prospecting on the
Rateria copper-molybdenum-silver-gold
prospect, following up on drilling in 2017.
Trenching by Imperial Metals
Corporation confirmed a new gold showing
at Giant Copper in an area separate from
known porphyry copper targets. It has
submitted a Notice of Work for drilling.
