Highlights
亮点
- Inaugural drilling across the 44km x 7km basin tested two initial targets on opposite ends of the basin, with 10 of 11 holes intersecting copper mineralization, underscoring the robustness of the system (Figure 1)
- At Ellis, 8 holes tested the historic mineralized grey bed at depth and along strike with the following results as shown in Figure 2:
- ELS-23-007 intersected an extensive copper zone over a 150m by 100m area, with 25m @ 0.24% Cu and 4.05 g/t Ag, including 2.6m @ 0.87% Cu and 11.54 g/t Ag
- While the grey bed unexpectedly thinned, drilling intersection a mafic sill, a rock type differing from initial expectations, though typical in systems of this nature
- Notably, visuals confirmed 6 copper minerals across this 25m wide zone with extensive copper oxides suggesting potential at depth of sulphide accumulations
- At Whiskey located 25km east of Ellis, 3 holes showed pinching of the grey bed with narrower mineralization including:
- WHS-23-010 intersected 3.1m @ 0.96% Cu and 11.78 g/t Ag, including 0.7m @ 3.54% Cu and 46 g/t Ag
- WHS-23-011 which intersected 2.1m @ 1.20% Cu and 16.43 g/t Ag and 0.6m @ 3.22% Cu and 46 g/t Ag
- Additionally, encouraging sampling of outcrops south of drilling in the Whiskey area showed additional emerging copper trends on the eastern portion of the basin with 17 samples grading higher than 0.5% Cu and up to 2.44% Cu
- Camp was winterized prior to demobilization and a drill remains on site for a potential winter program
- 在 44 千米 x 7 千米的盆地上进行的首次钻探测试了盆地两端的两个初始目标,11 个孔中有 10 个与铜矿化相交,突显了系统的稳健性(图 1)
- 在埃利斯,有8个洞测试了历史悠久的矿化灰床的深度和走向,结果如下,如图 2 所示:
- ELS-23-007 在 150 米 x 100 米的区域内横穿了广阔的铜区,含有 25m @ 0.24% 的铜和 4.05 g/t 的银,包括 2.6 米 @ 0.87% 的铜和 11.54 g/t 的银
- 虽然灰床出人意料地变薄,但钻出的十字路口是魔法岩台,这种岩石类型与最初的预期不同,尽管在这种性质的系统中很常见
- 值得注意的是,视觉效果证实,在这个 25 米宽的区域内有 6 种铜矿物,其中含有大量的氧化铜,这表明硫化物在深度有潜力
- 在位于埃利斯以东 25 公里处的 Whiskey,有 3 个洞显示灰床被挤压,矿化作用较窄,包括:
- WHS-23-010 与 3.1m @ 0.96% 铜和 11.78 g/t 银相交,包括 0.7m @ 3.54% 铜和 46 g/t Ag
- WHS-23-011 与 2.1 米 @ 1.20% 铜和 16.43 g/t 银和 0.6m @ 3.22% 铜和 46 g/t 银相交
- 此外,对威士忌地区钻探以南露头的令人鼓舞的采样显示,该盆地东部的铜矿出现了更多新兴趋势,有17个样本的铜品位高于0.5%,铜品位高达2.44%
- 在复员之前,营地已做好防寒准备,目前仍在现场进行可能的冬季项目的演习
Mathew Wilson, CEO, stated, "The discovery of a big metal district requires a big metal system, which is exactly what we have at Adeline. The macro environment for copper remains very promising and even more so here at home in Canada. Our aim is to establish a copper project capable of putting Canada back on the copper map and this is just the first step. We are currently evaluating the data to identify a clear path to targeting both at Ellis and across the entirety of the 44km x 7km system. With over $4 million in the treasury, we are confident our systematic approach to targeting will result in an efficient and successful program when we return to drill at Adeline."
首席执行官马修·威尔逊表示:“发现大型金属区需要一个大型金属系统,而这正是我们在艾德琳所拥有的。铜的宏观环境仍然非常乐观,在加拿大国内更是如此。我们的目标是建立一个能够使加拿大重返铜业版图的铜矿项目,这只是第一步。我们目前正在评估数据,以确定一条明确的路径,既可以瞄准埃利斯,也可以瞄准整个44km x 7km的系统。我们拥有超过400万美元的国库,我们相信,当我们返回Adeline钻探时,我们的系统目标方法将使项目高效而成功。”
Jeremy Niemi, SVP Exploration and Evaluation, commented, "The extent of the mineralization encountered in this inaugural program serves as a clear indication that there is much more to Ellis than we have seen so far - let alone across the entirety of this project. We went into this program to test a single previously developed target looking to establish the continuity of mineralized grey beds and a potential large hydrothermal breccia zone which we hoped would correlate with the IP survey conducted in the 90's. While the grey beds did not continue at Ellis and the IP did not correlate to a large breccia zone, hole 7 did establish itself as having potential to represent the top of a flow breccia. The native copper in quartz veins and rock type are similar to the zones in the Keewenawan peninsula which provided a large source of copper for the U.S. in the 1900s. The grades and style of mineralization suggest we are potentially in proximity stronger copper zone. We are focused on refining our targeting approach to zero in on large accumulations of copper sulphide mineralization both at depth and to the south at Ellis, and across the property, to increase the probability of future drilling success and targeting."
勘探与评估高级副总裁杰里米·尼米评论说:“首个项目中遇到的矿化程度清楚地表明,埃利斯所拥有的东西比我们迄今为止所看到的要多得多,更不用说整个项目了。我们进入该项目是为了测试先前开发的单一目标,该目标旨在确定矿化灰层的连续性和潜在的大型热液角砾岩带,我们希望这将与90年代进行的IP调查相关。尽管埃利斯的灰层没有延续,IP与大型角砾岩带不相关,但7号洞确实证明自己有可能代表流角砾岩的顶部。石英脉和岩石类型中的天然铜与基韦纳万半岛的区域相似,后者在20世纪为美国提供了大量的铜来源。矿化的等级和类型表明,我们可能处于更强的铜区。我们专注于完善我们的靶向方法,将埃利斯深处和南部以及整个物业的大量硫化铜矿化储量归零,以增加未来钻探成功和瞄准目标的可能性。”
2023 Adeline Drilling Program
2023 年艾德琳钻探计划
The Company's 2023 Adeline drill program (Figures 1 and 2) (See Tables 1 and 2 for full results and drill hole locations) was designed to test both the extents of the mineralized grey beds at Ellis at depth and along strike as well as a potential blowout of the copper mineralization interpreted from the model of historical IP carried out on the project. In the first 3 holes it became clear that the grey bed mineralization observed on surface and in historical drill core, had disappeared and appeared to be replaced by a mafic sill. The top surface of the mafic sill was mineralized with copper oxide and native copper.
该公司的2023年Adeline钻探计划(图1和2)(完整结果和钻孔位置见表1和表2)旨在测试埃利斯矿化灰层的深度和走向沿线的范围,以及根据该项目进行的历史知识产权模型解释的铜矿化潜在井喷情况。在前三个洞中,很明显,在地表和历史钻芯中观察到的灰层矿化已经消失,似乎被镁铁质岩台所取代。镁铁质窗台的顶部表面被氧化铜和天然铜矿化。
Copper mineralization was intersected in the tops of mafic flows in veined and brecciated rocks. This prompted the Company to adjust the angle of the last two holes at the target and approach the mineralization from a new perspective. Hole ELS-23-007 intersected a relatively wide zone of copper oxide mineralization which extended beyond fractures as observed in the initial holes. This was thought to potentially be the top of a flow breccia. Hole ELS-23-008 was an attempt to follow this mineralization to the south along the structure and towards historic conductors but deviated to the north and hit the edge of the oxide/sulfide zone, intercepting native copper in quartz veins.
铜矿化在脉状和角砾岩中的镁铁质流顶部相交。这促使该公司调整了目标处最后两个孔的角度,并从新的角度接近矿化区域。ELS-23-007 洞与相对较宽的氧化铜矿化区域相交,该区域延伸到最初的孔洞中观察到的裂缝之外。人们认为这可能是流角砾岩的顶部。ELS-23-008 洞试图沿着结构向南沿着这种矿化方向移动,朝向历史导线,但向北偏离并击中了氧化物/硫化物带的边缘,拦截了石英脉中的天然铜。
Additionally, the copper zone identified in drilling was not consistent with the IP anomaly identified by Noranda from the 90's. The Company is currently carrying out physical properties on the core, especially the rocks above the copper zone, to identify potential alternative sources of the chargeability response shown in the IP survey. There is extensive hematite mineralization and this may be responsible for the large target area shown in the chargeability response.
此外,钻探中发现的铜带与90年代诺兰达发现的IP异常不一致。该公司目前正在对岩心,尤其是铜区上方的岩石进行物理特性分析,以确定知识产权调查中显示的收费响应的潜在替代来源。有大量的赤铁矿矿化,这可能是电荷响应中显示的目标区域较大的原因。

The final three holes of the program were drilled at the Whiskey target, approximately 25km east of the Ellis target. The drilling was designed to undercut copper mineralization within grey beds at a historical trench. Drilling showed that the grey bed appeared to pinch resulting in narrower intersections than observed in the trench. Holes WHS-23-010 and WHS-23-011 intersected 3.54% and 3.22% copper of approximately 0.6m which were haloed by lower grade mineralization of 1-2m wide.
该项目的最后三个洞是在威士忌目标处钻的,该目标位于埃利斯目标以东约25公里处。该钻探旨在削弱历史海沟灰层内的铜矿化作用。钻探表明,灰色床似乎收缩,导致十字路口比在沟槽中观察到的要窄。WHS-23-010 和 WHS-23-011 孔与大约 0.6 米的 3.54% 和 3.22% 的铜相交,这两个孔由 1-2 米宽的低品位矿化作用光晕。

Whiskey Area Sampling Program
威士忌区域采样计划
In addition to the drilling program, the Company collected a total of 34 outcrop surface samples at the Whiskey target area (See Table 3 for full results). 17 of the samples graded higher than 0.5% copper and the range of values was between 0.002% Cu and 2.44% (See Figure 6). The samples were taken mostly to the south of the Whiskey drilling along additional emerging copper trends. In many cases the sample locations were taken along the historical IP grid and coincident with chargeability anomalies that came to surface.
除了钻探计划外,该公司还在威士忌目标区域共收集了34个露头表面样本(完整结果见表3)。其中17个样品的铜品位高于0.5%,值范围介于0.002%和2.44%之间(见图6)。样本主要采集到威士忌钻探区以南,沿着其他新兴的铜矿走势。在许多情况下,样本位置是沿着历史IP网格采集的,与浮出水面的可充电性异常相吻合。

Next Steps
后续步骤
The Company is undertaking a number of exploration activities to extract further value from both recent drilling and historical data. Additional analytical work is underway to examine the role of hydrocarbons within the sedimentary rocks in triggering the accumulation of copper mineralization. Analysis of non-carbonate sources of carbon is the initial step and will be followed by a hyperspectral analysis of historical holes for the presence of hydrocarbons across the property. Hydrocarbons in the sediments would be part of a favourable copper mineralization setting and open the opportunity to scan the entire property for new target areas with satellite data. The Company anticipates undertaking an advanced hyperspectral study using shortwave infrared channels to map favourable rocks and to bring new target areas across the property forward.
该公司正在开展多项勘探活动,以从最近的钻探和历史数据中提取更多价值。其他分析工作正在进行中,以研究沉积岩中碳氢化合物在触发铜矿化积累方面的作用。分析非碳酸盐碳源是第一步,随后将对整个物业中存在的碳氢化合物的历史空洞进行高光谱分析。沉积物中的碳氢化合物将成为有利的铜矿化环境的一部分,这为使用卫星数据扫描整个物业以寻找新的目标区域提供了机会。该公司预计使用短波红外信道进行一项先进的高光谱研究,以绘制有利岩石的地图,并在整个物业范围内开辟新的目标区域。
Currently, the field team is carrying out a physical property study on Sterling Metals 2023 core and historical core available in the Newfoundland and Labrador core library in Goose Bay. Measurements of magnetic susceptibility, gravity, resistivity, chargeability, and conductivity are being made on mineralized and non-mineralized drill core to aid in geophysical modeling and in designing future work programs.
目前,实地小组正在对位于古斯湾的纽芬兰和拉布拉多核心库中可用的斯特林金属2023年核心和历史核心进行物理特性研究。正在对矿化和非矿化钻芯进行磁化率、重力、电阻率、电荷率和电导率的测量,以帮助进行地球物理建模和设计未来的工作计划。
Additionally, interpretation of the data from a DIGHEM airborne EM survey flown in 1992 for Noranda Exploration is underway. The survey identified numerous weak and moderate conductors and Sterling is modelling the conductors, which is expected to allow the team to characterize and rank each conductor. The team will prioritize conductors along favourable regional structures, within ideal host rocks and where copper occurrences have been identified nearby. This study will lead to sites which should be visited in the next exploration campaign for groundwork in 2024.
此外,对1992年为Noranda Exploration飞行的DIGHEM机载电磁调查的数据的解释正在进行中。调查发现了许多弱和中等指挥家,斯特林正在对导体进行建模,预计这将使团队能够对每位指挥进行表征和排名。该团队将优先考虑沿有利的区域结构、理想的宿主岩石内以及附近已发现铜矿点的导体。这项研究将确定在2024年的下一次勘探活动中应该访问的地点,以进行基础工作。
About the Adeline Project, Labrador
关于拉布拉多 Adeline Project
Comprised of roughly 30,000 hectares and a 44 km strike of copper-silver-rich terrain, 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.
Adeline 占地约 30,000 公顷,地形长达 44 千米,富含铜银,涵盖了最年轻的中元古代火山沉积层,即海豹湖群。海豹湖群由地表泥质和砂质沉积岩组成,中间有玄武岩流,并被辉长岩侵入。火山沉积岩是在与裂缝相关的隆起和侵蚀循环中从海底过渡到浅海的大量大陆沉积形成的。
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.
尽管沉积物承载的地层状铜矿床非常普遍,但具有经济意义的矿床很少见。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形成于流体流动时间较长的盆地,那里的特定条件促进了大量富含金属的流体、充足的还原硫和大量还原剂的积累。
Quality Assurance/Quality Control - Sampling Procedures
质量保证/质量控制-采样程序
All drill holes are diamond drill core with NQ diameter. Drill core is delivered by helicopter to the Sterling Metals Seal Lake secure camp and core logging site. All core is photographed, logged, and sampled by the Sterling Metals exploration team. After detailed logging and photographs are taken, the boxes to be sampled are secured to the core box lid, and flown by float plane to Goose Bay, where they are received by Sterling Metals personnel and brought to the secure core facility. Drill core was halved by sawing with a diamond saw blade and half-core samples were placed in pre-labelled clear sample bags with a unique sample ID tag, sealed with a zip tie, and then placed into rice bags sealed with security tags and securely stored until shipped by commercial transport to the ALS Geochemistry core preparation facility in Montreal, Quebec. ALS Geochemistry is an accredited laboratory certified under ISO 17025 Standard.
所有钻孔均为直径为 NQ 的金刚石钻芯。钻芯由直升机运送到 Sterling Metals Seal Lake 的安全营地和岩心伐木场。所有岩心均由斯特林金属勘探团队拍照、记录和取样。在进行详细记录和拍照后,待采样的箱子被固定在核心箱盖上,然后乘水上飞机飞到古斯湾,在那里由斯特林金属公司的工作人员接收并带到安全的核心设施。使用金刚石锯片将钻芯切成两半,将半芯样品放入带有唯一样品ID标签的预先标记的透明样品袋中,用拉链封住,然后放入用安全标签密封的米袋中并安全存放,直到通过商业运输运送到魁北克蒙特利尔的ALS Geochemistry岩心制备设施。ALS 地球化学是通过 ISO 17025 标准认证的认可实验室。
For samples not containing native copper:
对于不含天然铜的样品:
Preparation for these samples involves crushing them until 70% successfully pass through a 2mm sieve, followed by the generation of a 250-gram sub-sample split using a riffle splitter. The remaining material is further processed to achieve an 85% passing rate through a 75μm sieve. Subsequently, the samples undergo analysis using Inductively Coupled Plasma - Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES), which provides a comprehensive understanding of sample composition with a suite of 48 elements included in the ICP package. Sample digestion is carried out using a specialized 4-acid mixture, with a 0.4g aliquot. This method allows for the measurement of copper concentrations of up to 100,000 ppm and silver concentrations of up to 200 ppm, which would prompt overlimit analysis.
这些样品的准备工作包括将其粉碎直至70%成功通过2mm的筛子,然后使用裂纹分离器生成250克的子样本分割。剩余的材料经过进一步处理,通过 75 μm 的筛子可达到 85% 的通过率。随后,使用电感耦合等离子体-原子发射光谱法(ICP-AES)对样品进行分析,ICP包中包含48种元素的套件可以全面了解样品成分。样品消化是使用特殊的4酸混合物进行的,等分量为0.4g。这种方法允许测量高达100,000 ppm的铜浓度和高达200 ppm的银浓度,这将促使进行超限分析。
For samples containing native copper:
对于含有天然铜的样品:
Preparation for these samples involves crushing them until 70% successfully pass through a 2mm sieve, followed by the generation of a 1,000-gram sub-sample split using a riffle splitter. Subsequently, the entire 1,000-gram sub-sample undergoes screen metallic copper analysis. The minus fraction is then sent for ICP analysis to determine the full suite of 48-element concentrations.
这些样品的准备工作包括将其粉碎直到 70% 成功通过 2 毫米的筛子,然后使用裂纹分离器分离 1,000 克的子样本。随后,对整个 1,000 克的子样品进行筛网金属铜分析。然后,将负分数发送给 ICP 分析,以确定整套 48 种元素的浓度。
A crushed marble blank, a certified OREAS copper standard, and a core duplicate are systematically inserted into the sample analysis process. Furthermore, an extra blank sample is included immediately after any native copper samples. Analysis of the QAQC results is performed upon receipt from the laboratory, along with analysis of ALS's internal QAQC results, including pulp and reject duplicates.
碎大理石毛坯、经认证的 OREAS 铜标准和核心副本被系统地插入到样品分析过程中。此外,在任何原生铜样品之后,会立即包括一个额外的空白样品。从实验室收到质量保证控制结果后进行分析,同时分析 ALS 的内部 QAQC 结果,包括纸浆和废弃物副本。
