Vancouver-based Barkhor Resources (VSE) has released assay results from the first two drill holes on its Star base metal property, near Cranbrook, B.C. The company, which is seeking “Sullivan-type” base metal deposits, has an option to earn a 50% interest in the claims by spending $600,000 on exploration.
The first hole, drilled to a depth of 1,380 ft. cut four narrow intervals with anomalous lead-zinc- silver values. The best intersections from separate sections within the hole were 3.3 ft. grading 4.08% zinc, followed by 6.5 ft. grading 2.38% zinc, 8.52% lead, and 2.18 oz. silver per ton. Two other sections returned 3.3 ft. grading 2.46% zinc, and 5.9 ft. of 1.6% zinc, 1.02% lead and 0.20 oz. silver.
The second hole, drilled at the same location to a depth of 1,414 ft., yielded 16.4 ft. grading 0.62% zinc, 2.3% lead and 0.57 oz. silver in a zone designated the Main Star vein. A second stratiform zone returned values 0.71% zinc, 8.29% lead and 2.19 oz. silver over 20.3 ft.
According to Barkhor, drilling will continue to test the downdip extent of the disseminated and vein- type mineralization which could represent a feeder system to other bedded sulphide zones.
