About the Arlington Property, Greenwood MD, B.C.
关于不列颠哥伦比亚省马里兰州格林伍德的阿灵顿地产
The Arlington Property is located in the West Kettle River Valley, south-central British Columbia, 17 km north of Beaverdell and 65 km south of Kelowna B.C. (see Location Map). The property consists of nine claims covering 3,583.89 hectares located in the Greenwood Mining Division. Historic work in the area was driven by the early success and discoveries made in the Beaverdell and Carmi Mining Camps during the late 1890s. Previous exploration on the Arlington property was conducted from the early 1970's to 1996 and from 2015 to 2021. In 2020/21, the Fresh Pots and Blockchain mineral claims were staked by Origen to encompass ground geologically similar to the adjoining Arlington claims. Origen conducted ground surveys on the Fresh Pots claims, consisting of soil and rock-chip sampling, ground magnetic surveys and geological mapping. It completed ~2,000 soil sampling surveys in 2021/22 which revealed a strong gold anomaly approximately 2,000 meters in a N-S direction and 1,000 meters in an E-W direction. The values ranged from 15 - 2300 ppb Au, with associated anomalous values of Cu, Co, Ag, and As. The Freshpots claims area has never been drilled before Origen conducted a back-pack drill hole (20 - 30 meters deep) in 2022. Assays from the core graded 2.18 ppm Au, 11.34 ppm Ag and 0.35% Cu over 0.70 m.
阿灵顿地产位于不列颠哥伦比亚省中南部的西凯特尔河谷,比弗德尔以北17公里,不列颠哥伦比亚省基洛纳以南65公里处(见位置图)。该财产包括九项索赔,占地3583.89公顷,位于格林伍德矿业部。19 世纪 90 年代后期,比弗德尔和卡米采矿营地的早期成功和发现,推动了该地区的历史性工作。先前对阿灵顿地产的勘探是在1970年代初至1996年以及2015年至2021年期间进行的。2020/21年,Origen质押了鲜锅和区块链矿产索赔,以涵盖地质学上与邻近的阿灵顿索赔相似的地面。Origen对Fresh Pots索赔进行了地面调查,包括土壤和岩屑采样、地面磁力调查和地质测绘。它在2021/22年度完成了约2,000次土壤采样调查,发现了一个强烈的金异常,南北方向约2,000米,东西方向约1,000米。金值介于 15-2300 ppb 之间,相关的异常值为铜、钴、银和砷。在Origen于2022年进行背包式钻孔(深20-30米)之前,Freshpots索赔区域从未钻探过。核心分析结果显示,0.70 m以上金含量为2.18 ppm,银含量为11.34 ppm,铜含量为0.35%。
Nickelex is planning an initial exploration program consisting of detailed soil sampling, geological mapping, prospecting and trenching, followed by a 6-7 hole, 1,000m drill program during 2024. The objective of the program will be to determine the nature of mineralization and possible presence of gold skarn mineralization, similar to mineralization at the Buckhorn Mine located 8km south of the Canada/USA border.
Nickelex正在计划一项初步勘探计划,包括详细的土壤采样、地质测绘、勘探和挖沟,随后在2024年进行6-7孔、1,000米的钻探计划。该项目的目标将是确定矿化的性质和可能存在的金锡卡岩矿化,类似于位于加拿大/美国边境以南8公里处的巴克霍恩矿的矿化。
