Significant disseminated and banded sulphides have been encountered in the the first hole put down by Normine Resources on its Wait property near Kimberley, B.C. This hole has now been completed at a depth of 1,542 ft, but may be deepened later. In the meantime, a second deep hole has been collared 1,000 ft to the north. At last report it was still in overburden at 100 ft.
Considerable interest is being shown in this project, inasmuch as this drilling is being carried out immediately south of the Kimberley fault and about half way between Cominco’s Sullivan and Kimberley King mines.
Banded pyrite and pyrrhotite were encountered from 60 ft to 1,542 ft, with increasing amounts of sphalerite (zinc) showing in the bottom 328 ft. From 812-885 ft the intersection was well brecciated and containing 10%-15% pyrite.
These large intersections of mineralization are indicative of a sulphide halo which may surround a massive ore zone similar to the world class Sullivan mine six kilometres to the west, reports the company’s consultant, Bernard Kahlert, P. Eng.
Assay results will be released as soon as they are available, says Normine’s vice-president, Clive T. Johnson.
Normine can earn a 51% interest in this property from Anglo Canadian Mining Corp. and Victoria Resource Corp. by spending $1 million on exploration.
