Abacus drills Afton targets

A 10,000-metre drilling program will test numerous geophysical anomalies on ground held by Abacus Mining & Exploration (AME-V) in the Afton copper-gold camp, near Kamloops, B.C.

The Vancouver-based junior recently mobilized crews to resume exploration in the area. The program is designed to follow-up last fall’s three-dimensional, induced-polarization survey, which revealed numerous strong chargeability anomalies over the Rainbow area. Some of these anomalies have been drill-tested before and are known to host copper-gold mineralization, while others (including the strongest anomalies) have never been tested.

In addition to targets on the Rainbow area, the spring phase of drilling will test targets in the DM, Audra and Crescent areas, where geophysical surveys are also planned.
