New Target Mining Corp. announced that it has now received and reviewed its 2022 surface exploration results on the Scarlett Property (the "Property").
In an effort to more fully constrain and understand the full extent of the soil anomalies determined during previous programs on the Property, New Target's exploration team conducted and submitted 88 additional soil samples as well as conducted a more regional outcrop rock sampling campaign comprised of a total of 18 surface rock samples. Rock sample highlights include 2 samples reporting 3.630 ppm and 0.132 ppm Au respectively, thus demonstrating the extent of mineralization in other areas not previously explored on the Property. All samples were submitted for analysis to ALS Canada Ltd. located in North Vancouver,
B.C. The results of these efforts can be seen in maps included within and accompanying this news release. Soil and rock sampling works were conducted in tandem with road and trail preparation and repair efforts required to support any future exploration access on the Property as some areas of roads and trails fell into minor disrepair due to heavy rain events in the prior fall and winter season. Below is a comprehensive soil sampling map depicting the currently defined Copper (Cu) anomaly which is currently 300 meters width and of 700 meters length and remains open both to the northwest and southeast. The soil and rock samples reported above were delivered to ALS Canada Ltd., North Vancouver, B.C. ALS Canada Ltd. is an accredited geo analytical laboratory and is independent of the Company and the QP. Rock samples were assayed utilizing a procedure defined by ALS as ME-ICP61, which is a 33 multi- element assay utilizing four acid digestion followed by ICP-AES. Rock analysis also included Au-ICP21 which is a 30-gram Fire Assay utilizing an ICP-AES finish. Soils samples were assayed utilizing a procedure defined by ALS as ME-MS41L which is a super trace multi-element analysis conducted by ICP- MS. Both rock and soil sample assay batches had internal Duplicate, Standards and Blanks conducted for quality controls and assurances. The Company followed industry standard procedures for the work carried out on the Property, with a quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) program. The Company detected no QA/QC issues during review of the data.
