Assay results were released by Adrian Resources (VSE) for the first four holes drilled to test the SMC zone discovery on the Sky Creek property in the Iskut River region of northwestern British Columbia.
Adrian can earn a 51% interest in the property from owner, Skyline Gold (TSE).
The SMC polymetallic zone was discovered earlier this summer by a prospecting team which located a number of gold and zinc-rich samples adjacent to the roadway connecting the Snip and Johnny Mountain mine sites. Snip is an operating gold mine, while Johnny Mountain is a former gold producer. The results from Adrian’s recent drilling appear to compare favorably with values reported from a recent trenching and sampling program. Among the better results was a 48.5-ft. intersection from hole 91-4 which graded 0.13 oz. gold and 0.94 oz. silver per ton, plus 0.17% lead, 5.74% zinc and 0.13% copper. Complete results are listed below.
Since the discovery of the SMC zone, Adrian reports that similar mineralization has been observed over a minimum 1,312-ft. strike extent, and a coincident VLF-EM conductor has been defined for a minimum 3,937-ft. strike length.
In addition, the company said the stratigraphic package hosting the SMC mineralization also displays a number of subparallel to parallel VLF-EM conductors over similar strike extensions.
Results are awaited for an additional seven holes drilled on the SMC zone, as well as several holes drilled to test other targets on the property. Hole Interval width oz./ton oz./ton % % %
