BCM Resources Corp. Drilling and Exploration Update, Thompson Knolls Project in Utah
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 6, 2022 / BCM Resources Corp ("B" or the Company) is pleased to report that the Company completed Phase 2 drilling exploration at its Thompson Knolls (TK) greenfield Cu-Au-Ag-Mo project in the southwestern part of Utah, USA. Phase 3 drilling at TK is scheduled to begin in the forthcoming fall season. "B" also reports the results of age dating on the porphyry intrusive bodies and molybdenum mineralization discovered to date at TK.
温哥華,卑詩省/ACCESSWIRE/2022年9月6日/BCM Resources Corp(“B”或本公司)欣然報告,本公司已完成其位於美國猶他州西南部的Thompson Knolls(TK)綠地銅-金-銀-鉬項目的第二期鑽探勘探。TK的第三階段鑽探計劃在即將到來的秋季開始。“B”還報道了迄今在TK發現的斑巖侵入體和鉬礦化的年齡測定結果。
President Dr. Sergei Diakov stated, "We are very excited with the drilling results from Phase 2 exploration program at TK. It is a significant technical success by the Company's exploration team. We have proven that TK is a dynamic Cu-Au-Ag-Mo porphyry system with multiple pulses and stages of mineralization. Based on drilling to date, TK has a significant footprint - this is what I want to see at the early discovery stages. That said, the highly mineralized core system is yet to be found. Previous drilling along with petrographic and age dating data indicates that there is a giant size porphyry system with multiple pulses. Our team is focusing on vectoring to the core of this system and test our new concepts in the Phase 3 drilling program. The recent expansion of the Company ground holdings on the TK project will enable us to control critical prospective ground for a possible future large mining operation."
總裁博士謝爾蓋·迪亞科夫表示:“我們對TK二期勘探項目的鑽探結果感到非常興奮。這是該公司勘探團隊在技術上的重大成功。證明TK是一個多脈動、多期成礦的動態的銅-金-銀-鉬斑巖系統。根據到目前為止的鑽探,TK的足跡很大--這是我希望在早期發現階段看到的。儘管如此,高度礦化的核心繫統仍有待發現。以前的鑽探以及巖相學和年齡測定數據表明,那裏有一個具有多個脈衝的巨型斑巖系統。我們的團隊正專注於引導該系統的核心,並在第三階段鑽井計劃中測試我們的新概念。公司最近擴大了對TK項目的土地持有量,這將使我們能夠為未來可能的大型採礦作業控制關鍵的預期土地。“
Drilling Results: The Company completed drilling 6 additional core holes at TK in 2021 and 2022. The initial discovery hole TK1 was drilled in 2018. The assay and geochemical results for the new drillholes are reported below. A new, high-grade Cu-Au-Ag-Mo body of skarn was discovered in hole TK6, the "Eureka Skarn." The associated intrusive will be searched for in upcoming Phase 3 drilling program.
鑽探結果:該公司於2021年和2022年在TK完成了6個額外的巖心鑽孔。最初的發現孔TK1是在2018年鑽探的。新鑽孔的化驗和化探結果報告如下。在“尤里卡矽卡巖”TK6孔發現了一個新的高品位的矽卡巖銅-金-銀-鉬礦體。相關的侵入物將在即將到來的第三階段鑽井計劃中進行搜索。
Summary of Drillhole TK6
TK6鑽孔小結
TK6 was collared 950m NW of TK1, away from the main body of highly magnetic biotitic quartz-monzonite porphyry (QMP). This is the deepest drillhole on the property so far and was stopped at 3,940 ft. At the depth of 1668 ft, it intercepted the mineralized "Eureka Skarn". From 2960 to 3930 ft depth, the drillhole went through a strongly mineralized magnetite-pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite skarn with scattered molybdenite. Cu-Mo-Au-Ag mineralization in the 970 ft interval graded an average of 0.03 g/t Au, 3 g/t Ag, 0.163% Cu, and 0.0093% Mo, including the 230 ft interval from 3220 to 3450 ft where the skarn mineralization assayed 0.06 g/t Au. 5.7 g/t Ag, 0.41% Cu and 0.013% Mo. The highest grade 10 ft interval from 3400-3410 ft assayed over 1% Cu and 0.186 g/t Au, 16.6 g/t Ag, and 58 ppm Mo.
TK6被TK1帶北西950m,遠離高磁性黑雲母石英二長斑巖(QMP)主體。這是到目前為止該地產上最深的鑽孔,停在3940英尺處。在1668英尺深的地方,它截獲了礦化的“尤里卡斯卡巖”。鑽孔深度2960~3930英尺,穿過強烈礦化的磁鐵礦-磁黃鐵礦-黃銅礦夕卡巖和零星輝鉬礦。銅鉬金銀礦化在970ft範圍內平均品位為0.03g/tAu、3g/t Ag、0.163%Cu和0.0093%Mo,其中230ft範圍內夕卡巖成礦作用為0.06g/t Au。5.7g/t銀、0.41%銅、0.013%鉬。在3400-3410英尺的最高品位10英尺區間內,銅含量超過1%,金含量為0.186克/噸,銀含量為16.6克/噸,鉬含量為58ppm。
Summary of Drillhole TK5
TK5鑽孔小結
Drillhole TK5 was collared 990m to the NW of TK1. This hole went through a very thick cover of post-mineral lithified fanglomerates 1595 ft (486.2 m) thick. Underneath, it intercepted a mineralized limestone-dolostone skarn that carried 0.078% Cu and 0.006% Mo with minor gold in the 110 ft (33 m) interval starting at 2670 ft (905 m). At depth of 2780 ft (847 m), the drillhole was terminated still in mineralized skarn due to a fault zone causing drilling complications.
TK5孔被套在TK1西北方向990米處。這個洞穿過了一層非常厚的後礦物巖化的方塊巖層,厚度為1595英尺(486.2米)。在地下,它截獲了一個礦化的石灰巖-白雲巖夕卡巖,從2670英尺(905米)開始,在110英尺(33米)的間隔內含有0.078%的銅和0.006%的鉬以及少量的金。在2780英尺(847米)的深度,由於斷層帶造成鑽井併發症,鑽孔仍然終止在礦化的矽卡巖中。
Summary of Drillhole TK3
TK3鑽孔小結
TK3 was situated at 570 m WNW of hole TK1 and was drilled at 70 degrees angle to the SW. It presented a big drilling challenge and consequently was lost at 2034 ft (620 m). It crossed from lithified fanglomerate into a skarnified dolomite at 1452 ft (442.6 m), and into QMP at 1844 ft (562 m). Both QMP and skarn are mineralized with copper in QMP at 0.03% in the upper block and 0.02% in the QMP below. In a shorter interval, a 25 ft (7.6 m) section of skarn yielded 0.06% Cu and 0.01% Mo, whereas a 30 ft (9.1 m) interval in the lower block from 1950 ft (594.4 m) to 1980 ft (603.5 m) carried predominantly molybdenum mineralization with Cu at 0.02% and Mo at 0.084%. The hole was stopped in mineralization due to a drilling failure.
TK3位於TK1孔西北偏西570米處,與西南方向成70度角。這是一個巨大的鑽探挑戰,因此在2034英尺(620米)處沉沒。它在1452ft(442.6米)處從巖化的芳羅梅酸鹽巖進入矽卡巖化的白雲巖,在1844ft(562米)處進入QMP。QMP和夕卡巖均與QMP中的銅成礦,上地塊為0.03%,下部為0.02%。在較短的時間間隔內,25英尺(7.6m)的矽卡巖段產生0.06%的銅和0.01%的鉬,而在下部區塊從1950年(594.4米)到1980年(603.5米)的30英尺(9.1m)的時間段,主要是鉬的礦化,銅的含量為0.02%,鉬的含量為0.084%。由於鑽探失敗,這個洞在礦化過程中被阻止了。
Summary of Drillhole TK3a
TK3a鑽孔小結
Drillhole was collared 36 m NNE of TK3, and went through a lithified fanglomerate cover of 1430 ft (435.9 m) thick, where it intercepted a mineralized quartz-monzonite porphyry intrusion with occasional blocks of skarnified dolomites from 1659 ft (505.7 m) to 1867 ft (569.1 m). From 1428 ft (435.3 m) to 2870 ft (874.8 m), the 1442 ft-long (440 m) interval carried weak copper-molybdenum mineralization, with 0.02% Cu, and 0.008% Mo. Molybdenum increased with depth from 2260 ft (688.8 m) to 3652 ft (1113.1 m). At 1392 ft (428 m) it averaged 0.018% Mo and 0.011% Cu.
鑽孔被套在TK3NNE 36米處,穿過1430英尺(435.9米)厚的巖化方石巖蓋層,在那裏截獲了礦化的石英二長斑巖侵入體,偶爾還會有矽卡巖化的白雲巖塊,從1659英尺(505.7米)到1867英尺(569.1米)。從1428ft(435.3 m)到2870ft(874.8 m),1442ft長(440m)的區段具有弱的銅鉬礦化,銅含量為0.02%,鉬含量為0.008%。鉬隨深度從2260英尺(688.8米)增加到3652英尺(1113.1米)。在1392ft(428m)處,它的平均鉬含量為0.018%,銅含量為0.011%。
Summary of Drillhole TK2
TK2鑽孔小結
This drill hole was a near duplicate of TK1, 29 m to the southeast of TK1, and was drilled in mid-2021. Drilling in TK2 went down to 2000 ft (609.6 m). At depth of 645 ft (196.6 m), it intercepted the biotite-quartz-monzonite porphyry intrusion with argillic (phyllic) alteration and weak sulfide mineralization (predominantly pyrite) in the interval of 1614 ft (491.9 m) to 2000 ft (609.6 m). In the upper part from 645 ft (196.6 m) to 1205 ft (367.3 m) the mineralization is oxidized. Assay results indicate the anomalous presence of gold and the weak presence of copper in the 234 ft-long intervals (71 m) from 1434 to 1668 ft at 0.01 g/t Au and 0.02% Cu. In the shorter distance from 1434 to 1470 ft (36 ft total) yielding 0.07% Cu and 0.006% Mo.
這個鑽孔幾乎是TK1的重複,位於TK1東南29米處,於2021年年中鑽成。將軍澳2號的鑽探深度降至2,000英尺(609.6米)。在196.6米(645英尺)的深度,截獲了1614英尺(491.9米)至609.6英尺(609.6米)的黑雲英二長斑巖侵入帶泥質(千粒狀)蝕變和弱硫化物礦化(主要是黃鐵礦)。在645英尺(196.6米)至1205英尺(367.3米)的上部,礦化被氧化。化驗結果表明,在1434至1668英尺的234英尺長(71m)內,金的含量為0.01g/t,銅的含量為0.02%,存在金的異常和銅的微弱存在。在1434年至1470ft(共36英尺)的較短距離內,產生0.07%的銅和0.006%的鉬。
Summary of Drillhole TK4
TK4鑽孔小結
TK-4 was collared 146 m SSE of hole TK1 and was drilled northward at 80 degree angle. And completed to a depth of 1445 ft (440 m), where drilling problems forced termination of the hole. No significant visual copper mineralization was observed hence no assay samples were taken.
TK-4在TK1孔的SSE方向146m處接箍,並以80度角向北鑽進。並在1445英尺(440米)的深度完成,鑽井問題迫使井口終止。沒有觀察到明顯的銅礦化,因此沒有采集化驗樣品。
Petrographic Study and Rаdiometric Age Dating:
巖相學研究和R-а測年:
A petrographic study of the ore and host rock samples indicated that dominant hydrothermal alteration in the mineralization drilled so far is hosted by sericitic alteration with spotty potassic zones and most drilling has been done in the phyllic zone of the system. Upper part of the porphyry intrusion shows evidence of subvolcanic textures indicating that the porphyry system at TK is preserved. The main copper core zone remains to be found. Phase 3 drilling will be testing the possibility of this zone in the eastern part of the TK intrusions cluster.
礦石和賦礦巖樣的巖石學研究表明,目前所鑽成礦中的熱液蝕變以絹雲母蝕變為主,並伴有斑狀鉀質帶,大部分鑽探是在系統的片麻巖帶進行的。斑巖侵入體上部有次火山結構的證據,表明TK斑巖系統保存完好。主要的銅核區仍有待發現。第三階段鑽探將測試在TK侵入體集羣的東部建立該區域的可能性。
"B" conducted additional age dating studies on molybdenum from both Cu-Mo mineralization in the intrusion (sample from drillhole TK3a) and Cu-Au-Mo mineralization in the Eureka skarn (sample from drillhole TK6). The study was conducted at the Department of Geosciences of University of Arizona at the Re-Os Geochronology Lab. The results indicated that molybdenite within the intrusion showed an age of 140.96±0.70 Ma, whereas from skarn 79.50±0.40 Ma. This has been interpreted as the porphyry system at TK being a dynamic system with multiple phases of mineralization. Our original studies of the biotitic QMP intrusion led to U-Pb dates on zircon of 156 and 152.7±0.7 Ma, as reported in earlier Company press releases.
“B”對侵入體中的銅鉬礦化(TK3a鑽孔樣品)和尤里卡矽卡巖銅-金-鉬礦化(TK6鑽孔樣品)中的鉬進行了額外的年齡測定研究。這項研究是在亞利桑那大學地球科學系Re-OS地質年代學實驗室進行的。結果表明,侵入巖中輝鉬礦的年齡為140.96±0.7 Ma,夕卡巖中輝鉬礦的年齡為79.5±0.4 Ma。這被解釋為TK的斑巖系統是一個多期成礦的動力系統。我們最初對黑雲母QMP侵入體的研究導致了鋯石的U-Pb年齡分別為156Ma和152.7±0.7Ma,正如公司早些時候的新聞稿所報道的那樣。
TK is located approximately 210 km southwest of Rio Tinto's giant Bingham Canyon porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold mine and smelter complex near Salt Lake City, Utah.
TK位於猶他州鹽湖城附近的力拓巨型賓漢峽谷斑巖銅鉬金礦和冶煉廠綜合體西南約210公里處。
