Hole BM-83 (Off-Hole Conductor)
A new discovery was made testing a geophysics conductor target, located west of the three previously discovered Blue Moon mineral zones and south of the American Eagle workings. This new Zone was discovered deep and lateral to the previous mineral system. The Zinc Sulfide (Sphalerite) encountered in this new discovery has a different hue from the other zones which may indicate a separate emplacement pulse with slightly different timing which could add to the currently known zones. This conductor was revealed first as stringers and blebs of sulfides were encountered starting at a core depth of 2,363 feet and continued until the banded and massive interval from 2,400-2,452 feet (52 feet interval at a vertical depth from surface of approximately 800 feet) then mineralization tapered off into another stringer zone down to 2,461 feet at core depth. The whole mineral rich zone covered near 100 feet of core length (core length not true thickness). The mineralization is hosted in rhyolite and rhyolite tuffs of the Gopher Ridge Formation. The stringer and main zone of sulfides are composed of Sphalerite, Chalcopyrite, Galena Tetrahedrite and Pyrite. Details of the assay will be discussed as results become available. In the photos below, the part of the mineralized zone drill interval is displayed.
BM-81 was set to test for continuity of the mineral zone between the old American Eagle workings near surface and the historical hole AE1 which indicated significant mineral zones. This confirmed the continuity from the American Eagle workings and historical hole AE1. Details of the assay will be discussed as results become available.
