Hendricks on track at properties

Several developments are reported from Hendricks Minerals Canada’s (CDN) three base and precious metals projects.

Assay results are now available from the last hole of the 1994 exploration project at the Cross mine project, near Nederland, Colo. The highest-grade gold assay from hole MP-13 was 2.1 oz. gold and 1.07 oz. silver per ton over 1 ft., while the best silver assay ran 23.6 oz. silver and 0.05 oz. gold over 1.3 ft. The widest intersection averaged 0.29 oz. gold and 3.34 oz. silver over 21 ft.

Meanwhile, drilling at the mine was suspended so that data could be reviewed by potential joint-venture partners.

At the Rombaken project, 20 miles east of Narvik, Norway, soil sampling outlined a strong lead-zinc geochemical anomaly.

The anomaly, with values as high as 5,600 parts per million (ppm) zinc and 3,400 ppm lead, is underlain by Proterozoic sediments coincident with a series of strong, airborne, electromagnetic anomalies (outlined in a previously completed survey).

Back in Canada, drilling has begun on the Millstream base and precious metals project in New Brunswick. Drilling will evaluate a sulphide prospect where samples assayed up to 14% combined lead-zinc and 14 oz. silver per ton. Other soil geochemical anomalies and induced-polarization anomalies will be tested.
