Hunter Bay Minerals has reported the primary assay results of the channel sampling campaign conducted at the Sela Creek project. The company is waiting for the assay results from several channel samples located in the high-potential Jons Pit-Texas trend, where in-situ mineralization has been found by the company over a 7 km strike.
Artisanal miners have used a sheeted quartz vein zone, whose thickness is up to 10 m and more than 700 m of strike length, at the Cambior Pit. In general, veins plunge sub-vertically and are present at the contact between a schist and granitoid.
Sela Creek licence area and sample locations. Yellow triangles represent a sample which assayed greater than 1 g/t gold, black triangles represent a sample which assayed less than 1 g/t gold. Alluvial workings are shown as yellow drainages.
The company has cut 39.43 g/t gold over 2.0 m, 36.92 g/t gold over 1.0 m and 13.6 g/t gold over 9.0 m in the hole CH011 at the Cambior Pit.
Several artisanal pits, which have been drilled along a shear zone that is trending towards the northwest with at least 1.3 km strike length, are present on the Jons Pit property. Shear zone’s mineralized segment is between 1 to 10 m thickness and the mineralized gold is connected with limonite-stained, silica altered schist and lenticular quartz veins.
The company has intersected 7.11 g/t gold over 1.0 m, 2.25 g/t gold over 2.0 m and 1.63 g/t gold over 12.0 m in the hole CH005 and 12.22 g/t gold over 1.0 m, 4.32 g/t gold over 3.0 m in the hole CH006 at the Jons Pit.
Hunter Bay continues to obtain results from the current channel and soil sampling exploration campaign. Gold in soil anomaly, whose length is 1 km and trending towards the northwest, located immediately to the Cambior Pit’s northwest part, has been outlined through soil sample assay results. The company has outlined gold in soil anomaly at the Central Ridge project’s west end and has scheduled to expand the soil sampling grid towards the western part in this region.
The company believes that both soil anomalies are very important, since it has outlined gold anomaly over a magnetic low, elongate anomaly that is defined by aerial geophysics.
