Multiple samples returned anomalous tungsten values. The highlight was a bedrock grab sample, weighing 1.02 kilograms, which returned 0.871% tungsten or 1.10% WO3 (W% x 1.26 equals WO3). The new target area is located within the northern region of the property and northeast of the quarry referred to as the South Quarry. The Company previously confirmed high grade tungsten at the South Quarry.
Tungsten mineralization in the new target area occurs in quartz-dominant veins being exposed in bedrock at a historic trench / stripped area. A grab sample from one vein returned 1.10% WO3.
2015 Great Atlantic high-grade tungsten samples from rubble and bedrock at the South Quarry and an adjacent smaller quarry (News Release of
A 20-centimeter long channel sample along a 15-centimeter wide vein returned 2.96% WO3.
A grab sample from a 25-centimeter wide vein in the South Quarry returned 11.94% WO3.
Tungsten mineralization (scheelite) was located during the 2019 program within a new target area in the northern region of the property. Scheelite-bearing, quartz-dominant veins were located within bedrock at a historic trench / stripped area in this new target area. The samples were analyzed by
