Logan Resources has successfully completed the 2011 exploration campaign at the Shell Creek property, which is situated in the north Dawson Ranges in Canada.
Location Map of Shell Creek Property
The exploration of 2011 included a collection of 43 slit, 99 rock and 4,447 soil samples. This program discovered several copper, lead-zinc anomalies and strengthened the present dataset for the property. Currently, all gathered data are evaluated to assess the next exploration phase, in particular to find if the follow-up is warranted through the diamond drill program.
The company found anomalous values of copper, lead and zinc in many soil samples gathered contiguous to the copper in soil anomaly found formerly on the property. These potential target regions show a rough parallelism. Two base metal anomalies, which were discovered through soil sampling, have length of around 1,100 m and thickness ranging between 100 and 400 m. These anomalies yielded lead and zinc values ranging between 16 and 164 ppm and 94 and 635 ppm, respectively.
The location of this Shell Creek is approximately 75 km towards the northwest part of Dawson City. This property is situated along the Tintina fault’s border and lies on the main gravity anomaly, Yukon. The property has a banded iron formation, carbonate, clastic and volcaniclastic rocks and also houses several copper and gold soil anomalies. These anomalies are present on four successive lines spaced 250 m for around 1 km of strike. The target of the former work is on numerous prospective mineralization styles that consists of saddle reef style gold mineralization, red-bed copper, IOCG and banded iron formation with Algoma style.
Equity Exploration Consultants of Vancouver conducted this program’s field component. Acme Laboratories examined all the samples.
