Partners Sharpe Energy & Resources (VSE) and Freewest Resources Canada (TSE) have drilled their first drill hole in the so-called Wisconsin massive sulphide program.
The Sharpe-Freewest program is focusing on the Horseshoe property, where previous drilling indicated a nearly vertical, easterly plunging, polymetallic massive sulphide deposit that is estimated to contain slightly fewer than 1 million tons grading 1.95% copper, 4.35% zinc, 0.78% lead, and 0.06 oz. gold and 1.07 oz. silver per ton. The eastern lens has an average thickness of 12.5 ft.
The current drilling is aimed at identifying new zones of mineralization. Hole HS-94-4, recently completed, tested a prospective zone in the western portion of the project and returned the longest intersection of copper-zinc mineralization thus far encountered on the property. The mineralized sections occur within the interval from 846 to 901 ft. and include stringer-type copper mineralization from 846 to 851 ft., a dyke with copper mineralization from 851 to 856 ft., stringer-type copper mineralization from 856 to 873 ft. and massive sulphide mineralization from 873 to 901 ft.
Samples have been submitted for assaying, and results are expected shortly. The companies plan to continue testing the western portion.
