Exploration has begun at a number of Val d’Or, Que., properties optioned recently by Vancouver- based High Frontier Resources (VSE) from Beaufield Resources (TSE). High Frontier has 13 claim groups, or about 10,107 acres under option in the Louvicourt Twp. base metal camp and exploration there will consist of line cutting, geophysics and diamond drilling.
Essentially, the company is looking for a deposit similar to the discovery last year in Louvicourt Twp. by joint venture partners Aur Resources (TSE) and Societe Miniere Louvem (TSE). Potential reserves outlined so far by Aur and Louvem stand at 36 million tons of grade 3.11% copper and 1.34% zinc.
As part of an agreement to earn 51% stake in the properties, High Frontier says it is planning to conduct 5,000 ft. of drilling to test selected geophysical targets including two coincident anomalies on the northern portion of Beaufield block No. 1.
A coincident VLF and mineralized horizon has been interpreted on Beaufield Block No. 4. “This horizon trends north-west from the adjacent Exploration Rogi (ME) property where assays as high as 9.9% zinc, 9.25% copper and 2.87 oz. gold per ton over 2.1 ft. have been reported.
Results from a UTEM geophysical survey, designed to search for massive sulphide deposits, will be used to plan additional holes, said High Frontier President Bert Applegath.
Tundra Gold Mines (VSE) currently holds about 500,000 of High Frontier’s 3.7 million issued shares.
