Vancouver —
About 3,000 metres (eight holes) are planned for the Hunt zone, discovered last year, where a high-grade shoot will be tested to a depth of 350 metres.
The zone has been intersected by 24 holes over a strike length of 700 metres and to a depth of 150 metres. Grades as high as 9.37 grams gold per tonne over 8.15 metres have been intersected, and all holes drilled to date are gold-bearing. The high-grade shoot remains open at depth and is flanked by lower-grade mineralization. A second, thick gold zone was intersected 20 metres below the main mineralization.
The remaining 2,000 metres (25 holes) will investigate several reconnaissance targets. Last year, these targets were tested by 16 holes, six of which cut gold mineralization.
Numerous targets remain untested along the 8-km-long strike length of the Assean Lake deformation zone, which represents a deep-seated fault system.
An induced-polarization survey is under way.
Gold mineralization at Assean Lake occurs in highly altered and silicified shear zones in Archean and Proterozoic-aged metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks. These rocks lie on the boundary of the Superior and Churchill geologic provinces.
International Curator can earn a 60% stake in the property from a private company by spending $1.25 million over four years.
