Sterling Metals Commences Exploration Activities at Its Adeline Project in Labrador
TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / July 13, 2023 / Sterling Metals Corp. (TSXV:SAG)(OTCQB:SAGGF) ("Sterling Metals" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of exploration activities at the Adeline Copper project ("Adeline" or the "Project") in Labrador, Canada (Figure 1). Located within the Central Mineral Belt of Labrador, this wholly owned 44 km long sedimentary basin hosts over 250 surface copper-silver occurrences and has many similarities to other world class, shale-hosted copper sulphide deposits. Sterling has compiled and layered 60 years of exploration data, including extensive showings, Induced Polarization (IP), Magnetic Survey, surface trenching and structural geology to develop a number of priority targets that are expected to be drill tested later this summer.
安大略省多伦多/ACCESSWIRE/2023 年 7 月 13 日/Sterling Metals Corp. (TSXV: SAG) (OTCQB: SAGG) (”英镑金属“或者”公司“) 很高兴地宣布 Adeline Copper 项目的勘探活动已开始(“艾德琳” 或者 “项目”)在加拿大拉布拉多(图 1)。这个全资拥有的44公里长的沉积盆地位于拉布拉多的中央矿带内,拥有超过250个地表铜银矿点,与其他世界一流的页岩硫化铜矿床有许多相似之处。Sterling汇编并分层了60年的勘探数据,包括大量显示、诱导极化(IP)、磁测量、地表挖沟和结构地质学,以开发一些优先目标,预计将在今年夏天晚些时候进行钻探测试。
Highlights
亮点
- Permits received for drilling and camp with construction and field activities commencing immediately.
- Drill pads set up at the Ellis Main prospect, where recent trenching was completed, and initial drilling is expected to commence (Figure 2).
- The Ellis Main prospect is exposed in a series of 11 trenches along the western end of Seal Lake and was subject of historic work including grab samples and drilling.
- The strongest historical mineralization occurred in hole SL-11-10 from 90.6 m where 7.9 m @ 1.76% Cu and 56.2 g/t Ag was intercepted 50 m down dip from a surface trench of 4.5 m of 2.5% Cu, 94.3 g/t Ag (2011, Playfair Mining Ltd.).
- IP data collected by Noranda in the early 90s shows a large anomaly whereby SL-11-10 intercepted the edge of it. Drill pad preparation is beginning to test this anomaly as well as the others across the basin.
- Completed hyperspectral study with ALS Goldspot Discoveries Ltd., confirming Ellis as the primary target, providing support for numerous secondary targets and new priority areas of interest.
- Drilling contract with a minimum of 2,000 metres of diamond drilling with Logan Drilling Group International, whom Sterling has worked with in the past.
- 已收到钻探和露营许可证,施工和野外活动立即开始。
- 在Ellis Main勘探区设置了钻台,该勘探区最近的挖沟已经完成,预计将开始初步钻探(图2)。
- Ellis Main勘探区暴露在海豹湖西端的一系列11条战壕中,是包括采集样本和钻探在内的历史工作的主题。
- 历史上最强的矿化发生在 90.6 米处的 SL-11-10 洞,那里从 4.5 米 2.5% 铜、94.3 g/t Ag 的地表沟向下 50 米处截获了 7.9 m @ 1.76% 铜和 56.2 g/t Ag(2011 年,Playfair Mining Ltd.)。
- Noranda 在 90 年代初收集的 IP 数据显示了一个很大的异常现象,即 SL-11-10 拦截了它的边缘。钻台准备工作已开始测试这种异常情况以及整个盆地的其他异常现象。
- 与ALS Goldspot Discoveries Ltd. 一起完成了高光谱研究,确认埃利斯为主要目标,为众多次要目标和新的优先关注领域提供支持。
- 与洛根钻探集团国际签订的钻探合同,至少钻探2,000米,斯特林过去曾与之合作。
Jeremy Niemi, SVP Exploration and Evaluation comments, "We are thrilled to be working in Newfoundland and Labrador. In just a few months we have built our field team, permitted Adeline, and are now beginning to build our camp. The stage has been set for us to enter discovery mode and we look forward to commencing our inaugural drill program at Adeline, on schedule, within the next 6 weeks. We are eager to drill and hit our targets which could reveal large high grade copper mineralization and confirm the potential for a very substantial copper system."
探索与评估高级副总裁杰里米·涅米评论说:“我们很高兴能在纽芬兰和拉布拉多工作。在阿德琳允许的短短几个月内,我们已经组建了我们的野战小组,现在开始建造我们的营地。我们进入发现模式的阶段已经准备就绪,我们期待在接下来的6周内按计划在Adeline开始我们的首次演习计划。我们渴望钻探并达到我们的目标,这可能会揭示大规模的高品位铜矿化,并证实一个非常庞大的铜系统的潜力。”
Mathew Wilson, CEO and Director states, "Sediment hosted copper accounts for approximately 20% of the world's copper production and reserves. The incredible lateral extent of these projects along with very high grades of copper create attractive mineral systems - if you can find the correct conditions that result in near surface deposits. Adeline holds many of the key characteristics needed to host a super giant sediment hosted copper system - and the Ellis target - with its already confirmed drill intercept - is the first area where we will look for a near surface deposit."
首席执行官兼董事马修·威尔逊表示:“沉积物含铜约占世界铜产量和储量的20%。如果你能找到导致近地表沉积物的正确条件,这些项目令人难以置信的横向范围以及非常高的铜品位创造了有吸引力的矿物系统。阿德琳拥有托管超巨型沉积物承载铜系统所需的许多关键特征,而埃利斯目标——其钻探截距已经得到证实——是我们第一个寻找近地表沉积物的区域。”
Comprised of roughly 30,000 hectares and a 44 km strike of copper-silver-rich terrain (Figure 2), Adeline covers the youngest middle Mesoproterozoic volcano-sedimentary sequences, known as the Seal Lake Group. The Seal Lake Group consists of supracrustal argillaceous and arenaceous sedimentary rocks, intercalated with basalt flows and intruded by gabbro sills. The volcano-sedimentary rocks formed as a result of extensive continental sedimentation from the transition from subaerial to shallow-marine during a rift-related cycle of uplift and erosions.
阿德琳占地约30,000公顷,拥有44公里的富含铜银的地形(图2),涵盖了最年轻的中元古代火山沉积序列,即海豹湖群。海豹湖群由地壳上泥质和砂质沉积岩组成,这些沉积岩与玄武岩流插在一起,并被辉长岩的入侵。火山沉积岩是在与裂谷相关的隆起和侵蚀周期中从海底向浅海过渡的广泛大陆沉积而形成的。
While sediment-hosted stratiform copper deposits are widespread, economically significant occurrences are infrequent. These deposits contribute to roughly 20 percent of global copper production and known reserves. Supergiant and giant deposits are formed in basins that experienced extended periods of fluid flow, where specific conditions facilitated the accumulation of substantial quantities of metal-rich fluid, ample reduced sulfur, and significant amounts of reductants.
虽然沉积物承载的地层铜矿床很普遍,但具有经济意义的矿床很少出现。这些矿床约占全球铜产量和已知储量的20%。超巨型和巨型沉积物是在流体流动时间较长的盆地中形成的,那里的特定条件促进了大量富金属流体、大量还原硫和大量还原剂的积累。
The host rocks of this potential copper basin primarily consist of reduced facies marine or lacustrine rocks, such as green, black, or gray shale, siltstone, thinly laminated tidal facies, reefoid carbonate rocks, and dolomitic shales. These deposits are typically found in Middle and Late Proterozoic rocks worldwide. They are formed in continental clastic sedimentary basins that transition into epicontinental shallow-marine or lacustrine basins within 30° of the paleo-equator. The tectonic setting for these deposits is typically an intracontinental rift or aulacogen. Deposits may exhibit zoning, with centers of chalcocite-bornite, outer zones of chalcopyrite-pyrite, and peripheral galena-sphalerite. The exploration of this extensive copper basin through a targeted drill program promises to be an exciting opportunity to test these theories and initiate a systematic exploration program.
这个潜在铜盆地的主岩主要由还原相的海洋或湖相岩组成,例如绿色、黑色或灰色页岩、粉砂岩、薄层潮相、礁石碳酸盐岩和白云岩页岩。这些沉积物通常存在于全球元古代中晚期的岩石中。它们是在大陆碎屑沉积盆地中形成的,这些盆地在距离古赤道30°以内过渡到上大陆浅海或湖泊盆地。这些沉积物的构造环境通常是大陆内裂谷或奥拉科根。沉积物可能表现出分区,中心为硫铜矿-硼铁矿,外部区域为黄铜矿-黄铁矿,外围为方铅闪锌矿。通过有针对性的钻探计划对这个广阔的铜盆进行勘探有望成为检验这些理论并启动系统勘探计划的激动人心的机会。
