Consolidated Callinan Flin Flon Mines (VSE) has started exploratory drilling on the Walter polymetallic property near Flin Flon, Man.
The company plans to drill up to 10 previously untested targets, defined by ground pulse geophysical surveys. The electromagnetic anomalies are hosted in felsic volcanics and fragmental rhyolites, the same rock units that host the Trout Lake, Flin Flon and Callinan mines. The deposits within this belt of rocks occur as stacked, massive sulphide lenses containing copper, zinc, gold and silver.
Drilling will also be carried out on the nearby Stack and Pap claim groups, where an additional six targets are identified. Farther north, the company is awaiting complete results from a geophysical survey carried out on the southern portion of the Lynn Lake claims; initial results have identified several electromagnetic targets. Drilling is expected to follow.
(A former nickel producer, the Lynn Lake property hosts two small base metal deposits inferred from drilling carried out in the late 1940s.)
In the meantime, deep-hole drilling on the War Baby property in Flin Flon has reached a depth of 926 metres. Consolidated Callinan believes the property may straddle the down-plunge extension of
Hudson Bay Mining & Smelting’s Callinan mine. The projected depth of the hole is 1,700 metres.
