Mineral Exploration

W inte r 20 1 8 55 Copper Mountain Mining Corporation continued to drill New Ingerbelle in 2018. A new resource estimate has 151.3 million tonnes at 0.29 per cent copper, 0.57 g/t silver, 0.18 g/t gold in Measured and Indicated categories (applying a 0.16 per cent copper cut oœ), with an additional 69 million tonnes in the Inferred category. A preliminary economic assessment suggests a 12-year mine life. The project is at the past-producing Ingerbelle pit, approximately one kilometre northwest of current operations. Evrim Resources Corp. and partner Antofagasta plc drilled the Axe porphyry copper-gold project with a combination of core drilling and reverse circulation drilling. Sego Resources Inc. diamond-drilled the first phase of a two-phase program at Miner Mountain, an alkalic porphyry copper-gold target. The company reported intersecting 57 metres of 0.26 percent copper 0.03 g/t Au and 0.78 g/t Ag, including 21 metres 0.38% copper. A second phase was planned for October. Base and precious metal projects Imperial Metals Corporation drilled at Ruddock Creek, targeting a deep extension of the V-Zone. The first hole intersected 21.7 metres of 16.99 per cent zinc, 3.44 per cent lead, and 2.41 g/t silver. As of July 2018, the Harper Creek project, Yellowhead Mining Inc.'s proposed bulk-tonnage copper mine, was no longer in the environmental assessment process. To advance the project, the company would have to begin anew. Concurrent with Nyrstar NV's restart of the Myra Falls underground zinc-copper- lead-silver-gold mine, is an exploration program aimed at increasing resources and reserves. This on-lease exploration is part of a $100-million infrastructure upgrade project that began in 2017. High-grade intersections in copper skarns at Engold Mines Ltd.'s Lac La Hache project early in 2017 led to drilling and ground geophysics (including induced polarization) in 2018. Highlight results from 2018 work include 58.5 metres grading 0.47 per cent copper, 103-4401 Bristol Rd., Terrace BC | (250) 635-2659 | www.yxt.ca C A P A C I T Y • C O N N E C T I O N S • R E L I A B I L I T Y • S A F E T Y Capacity Executive board room,full service restaurant and vehicle rentals (National, Hertz, Budget & Driving Force) Connections Connections to Vancouver, Calgary, Prince George, Bob Quinn and Dease Lake with unrestricted aircraft accommodation including 757, 737 and 767 Reliability A state of the art instrument landing system upgraded in 2015 allowing for 99.7% reliability of scheduled fl ight completion Safety Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighting Meziadin Junction 2 hrs 30 mins Port Edward 1 hr 30 mins Kitimat 35 mins Terrace 15 mins JUST A SHORT DRIVE AWAY GET CONNECTED THROUGH THE NORTHWEST REGIONAL AIRPORT NW Airport.indd 1 2017-11-02 2:05 PM Silver King Helicopters.indd 1 2015-11-12 3:12 PM Eagle Mapping.indd 1 2018-10-23 1:41 PM
