Roundup Video: PJX chases source of storied Sullivan-style boulders

Roundup Video: PJX chases source of Sullivan-style bouldersPJX Resources CEO John Keating (R) chats with TNM's Western Editor, Henry Lazenby, during a recent industry conference.

PJX Resources (TSXV: PJX) is hunting for the bedrock source of Sullivan-style zinc-lead-silver mineralization at its Dewdney Trail property near Cranbrook, B.C.

Exploration found more than 60 semi-massive sulphide boulders in talus and 2024 drilling struck a vent breccia zone that hints at a large mineralizing system, CEO John Keating said. The showing lies about 25 km east of Teck Resources’ (TSX: TECK.A, TECK.B; NYSE: TECK) past-producing Sullivan mine, a 160-million-tonne sediment-hosted deposit that ran for 90 years and produced 17 million tonnes of zinc and lead metal plus more than 250 million oz. silver.

“It’s not a question if this mineralizing system made Sullivan style and grade, it’s just a matter of where it is in that mountainside,” Keating told The Northern Miner last month at a Vancouver industry event.

The angular boulders haven’t travelled far, Keating believes, and an airborne survey has outlined a strong magnetic anomaly upslope. The company is modelling recent prospecting results to plan follow-up drilling along strike and at depth.
