Murchison Minerals Commences Geophysical Surveys Targeting Prospective Copper Stockwork Zone at BMK Project
Murchison Minerals Commences Geophysical Surveys Targeting Prospective Copper Stockwork Zone at BMK Project
Highlights
亮点
- Commences ground geophysics program at the BMK Deposit consisting of Fixed Loop Transient Electromagnetic and Borehole Electromagnetic ("EM") surveys.
- Surveys are designed to assist in locating the copper-rich stockwork zone associated with zinc-rich massive sulphide zones like those found at the BMK Deposit.
- The objective of the surveys is to refine the CST target area in anticipation of a winter 2024 diamond drill program.
- The CST target is located only 400 metres south of the BMK Deposit and is of similar size and conductive strength, the target has not been previously drilled.
- 在BMK矿床开始地面地球物理学项目,包括固定回路瞬态电磁和钻孔电磁(“EM”)调查。
- 调查旨在帮助定位与富锌块状硫化物区(例如在BMK矿床发现的区域)相关的富铜储量区。
- 调查的目的是完善CST的目标区域,以期2024年冬季的钻石钻探计划。
- CST目标位于BMK矿床以南仅400米处,其大小和导电强度相似,此前从未钻探过该目标。
BURLINGTON, ON / ACCESSWIRE / November 8, 2023 / Murchison Minerals Ltd. ("Murchison" or the "Company") (TSXV:MUR)(OTCQB:MURMF) is pleased to announce commencement of Fixed Loop Transient Electromagnetic (FLTEM) and Borehole Electromagnetic (BHEM) surveys at its 100%-owned Cu-Zn-Ag-Pb-Au Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) BMK Project in Saskatchewan. The focus of these surveys is to provide high-resolution geophysical data to aid in the potential discovery of a copper-rich stockwork zone and additional lenses of sulphide mineralization at the BMK Deposit. The surveys are being completed by Discovery International Geophysics of Saskatoon, SK, a wholly owned division of Dias Geophysical of Saskatoon, SK.

BMK Geophysical Program:
BMK 地球物理计划:
The BMK VMS Project hosts the high-grade polymetallic massive sulphide Brabant-McKenzie Deposit with a current NI 43-101 resource estimate of 2.1 Mt indicated at 0.69% Cu, 7.08% Zn, 0.49% Pb, 39.6 g/t Ag, 0.23 g/t Au and 7.6 Mt of inferred at 0.57% Cu, 4.46% Zn, 0.19% Pb, 18.42 g/t Ag, and 0.1 g/t Au (See NI 43-101 dated September 4, 2018). The Deposit remains open along strike and at depth, and notably, is missing a copper stockwork zone which is typical of high-grade VMS deposits - locating this zone is the primary objective at the BMK Project. Reinterpretation of a 2017 Heli-SAM survey (hybrid ground/airborne electromagnetic survey) has highlighted a high conductance, deep EM target, 400 meters south of the BMK Deposit (Figure 1). The CST target is considered highly prospective and is top priority for Murchison to drill test. The large size and proximity of the anomaly to the BMK Deposit may indicate a copper stockwork zone or an additional lens of massive sulphide mineralization. The FLTEM survey will utilize an EMIT SMART Fluxgate sensor and is designed to further refine this target in advance of anticipated drilling in winter 2024.
BMK VMS项目拥有高品位多金属块状硫化物布拉班特-麦肯齐矿床,目前北卡罗来纳州43-101的资源估计为210万吨,铜含量为0.69%,锌含量为7.08%,铅含量为0.49%,39.6克/吨银,0.23克/吨金和0.1吨 g/t Au(参见 2018 年 9 月 4 日发布的 NI 43-101)。该矿床沿走向和深度仍处于开放状态,值得注意的是,该矿床缺少铜储量区,这是高品位VMS矿床的典型特征——定位该区域是BMK项目的主要目标。对2017年Heli-SAM调查(混合地面/机载电磁测量)的重新解释突出显示了位于BMK矿床以南400米处的高电导率深电磁目标(图1)。CST目标被认为具有很高的前景,是默奇森钻探测试的重中之重。该异常体面积大,而且与BMK矿床的距离很近,这可能表明存在铜储量区或块状硫化物矿化的额外透镜。FLTEM调查将使用EMIT SMART Fluxgate传感器,旨在在预计于2024年冬季进行钻探之前进一步完善这一目标。
In addition to FLTEM, a BHEM survey will be completed on the open drillhole BM21-001, located approximately 185 m southwest of the BMK Deposit, which intersected 0.35 m of VMS style mineralization at 1.13% Pb, 0.26% Zn, and 58.8 g/t Ag (see April 13, 2021 release). Murchison infers that this mineralization indicates additional VMS mineralization maybe proximal. The area remains highly prospective for expansion of the BMK Deposit, and results from the BHEM and FLTEM surveys will be used as vectors towards identifying additional lenses of sulphide mineralization. Past BHEM surveys have been successful in identifying VMS style mineralization at the BMK Project.
除了 FLTEM 之外,还将完成对位于 BMK 矿床西南约 185 米处的 BM21-001 露天钻孔 BHEM 的调查,该钻孔在 1.13% Pb、0.26% Zn 和 58.8 g/t Ag 处与 VMS 式矿化区相交 0.35 米(见 2021 年 4 月 13 日发布的内容)。默奇森推断,这种矿化表明可能在近端有额外的VMS矿化。该地区仍然具有扩建BMK矿床的巨大前景,BHEM和FLTEM的调查结果将用作确定其他硫化物矿化透镜的载体。过去的BHEM调查成功地确定了BMK项目的VMS式矿化。
Murchison Minerals' CEO, President, & Director Troy Boisjoli comments:
默奇森矿业首席执行官、总裁兼董事特洛伊·博伊斯乔利评论说:
"Murchison is eagerly anticipating the results of the FLTEM survey at the CST target area. This area has been identified as being highly prospective to host the potential copper stockwork zone typical of high-grade VMS deposits. The survey results will be incorporated into Murchison's targeting model in anticipation of a winter 2024 drill program at BMK."
“默奇森热切期待FLTEM在CST目标区域的调查结果。该区域被认为极有可能成为高品位VMS矿床中典型的潜在铜储量区。调查结果将纳入默奇森的目标模型,以期在BMK进行2024年冬季的钻探计划。”
Murchison Minerals' Vice-President of Exploration John Shmyr comments:
默奇森矿业勘探副总裁约翰·什米尔评论说:
"The team is excited to collect additional data at the CST target to get it ready for drill testing. The fact that the geophysical anomaly appears to be of similar size and conductance to the BMK Deposit and is only 400 metres away is highly compelling. The discovery of the copper stockwork zone proximal to BMK Deposit has the potential to add a significant amount to the resource estimate and is our highest priority."
“该团队很高兴能在CST目标处收集更多数据,为钻探测试做好准备。地球物理异常似乎与BMK矿床的大小和电导率相似,而且距离只有400米,这一事实非常有说服力。在BMK矿床附近发现铜储量区有可能大幅增加资源估算,这是我们的首要任务。”
