A sampling and geophysical survey is set to begin on the Goldstream and Brew properties owned jointly by Bethlehem Resources (TSE) and Goldnev Resources (VSE). The Goldstream property, 60 miles north of Revelstoke, B.C., hosts a stratabound copper-zinc deposit with an estimated minable reserve of 1.8 million tonnes grading 4.81% copper and 3.06% zinc.
The companies hope to bring the deposit — previously an open pit mine and now closed — back into production as an underground operation at some future date.
Since little work has been done on the property other than in the immediate vicinity of the deposit itself, a program is planned to investigate the strike extension of the deposit’s mineralization. The deposit is hosted in a chloritic schist in contact with a marble unit which has been traced for at least six miles. The companies believe it could extend for over 14 miles into the Brew claims.
Budgeted at up to $1 million, the program will include soil geochemical sampling and ground geophysical surveys as well as trenching to be followed up with diamond drilling.
