Vancouver — International Curator Resources (IC-T) has launched a 4,500-metre drill program over the Assean Lake gold property near Thompson, Man.
The project is located on the Hunt claims. The company is targeting mineralization hit during last year’s drill program. The new discovery was cut by six of the holes over a 500-metre strike length.
Mineralization occurs as silicified zones with pyrite, pyrrhotite, galena arsenopyrite and chalcopyrite in a strong structure associated with an Archean banded iron formation.
The best intercept to date came from hole 14, which cut 4.6 metres grading 9 grams gold per tonne. The zone remains open along strike and at depth.
The latest round of drilling consists of 35 holes, with 20 of them aimed at testing the Hunt zone at 50-metre spacings to depths of up to 200 metres.
To better define the 8-km-long structural zone, the junior has launched ground geochemical and geophysical surveys. Based on the results, the company plans to mobilize a second rig by early September to test these new targets. The budget allows for about 15 holes totalling 1,500 metres.
International Curator can earn a 60% stake in the property from a private company by spending $1.25 million over four years.
