Silver Spruce Announces Significant Staking of Base Metal and Gold Targets, Doubles Size of Melchett Lake Zn-Cu-Au-Ag Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide Project, Nakina, Ontario
BEDFORD, NS / ACCESSWIRE / December 13, 2023 / (TSXV:SSE) Silver Spruce Resources, Inc. ("Silver Spruce" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the acquisition by map staking of 6,377 hectares ("ha") of claims contiguous to the core Melchett Lake project ("Melchett" or the "Property"). Melchett now covers a total of 485 claims in one contiguous property (Figure 1).
新南威爾士州貝德福德/ACCESSWIRE/2023年12月13日/(多倫多證券交易所股票代碼:SSE)Silver Spruce Resource, Inc.(“Silver Spruce” 或 “公司”)欣然宣佈,通過地圖質押收購了與梅爾切特湖核心項目(“梅爾切特” 或 “財產”)相鄰的6,377公頃(“公頃”)。現在,梅爾切特共涵蓋了一處連續財產的485項索賠(圖1)。
"We are very excited to acquire a significant package of additional claims which effectively doubles our overall property coverage to 112 square kilometres (11,236 ha). These new claims follow to the east, west and north along and parallel to the principal structural trend and geological units," said Greg Davison, Silver Spruce Vice-President Exploration and Director. "The three new claim groups fall within the Area of Interest of the current Definitive Agreement and the Colpitts Lake group were acquired from the Vendor for staking costs."
“我們很高興獲得大量額外索賠,這實際上使我們的總體財產覆蓋面翻了一番,達到112平方千米(11,236公頃)。Silver Spruce副總裁兼勘探董事格雷格·戴維森說,這些新的主張沿着主要結構趨勢和地質單元向東、西和北延伸,並與之平行。“這三個新的索賠組屬於當前最終協議的利益範圍,而Colpitts Lake集團是出於質押成本從供應商手中收購的。”

The Melchett Lake Zn-Cu-Au-Ag volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") project is an advanced precious and base metal property located in the Thunder Bay Mining District, northern Ontario, Canada (the "Property"). The Property lies 110 km north of Geraldton and 60 km north of Nakina.
Melchett Lake Zn-Cu-Au-Ag火山成因塊狀硫化物(“VMS”)項目是一處先進的貴金屬和賤金屬礦產,位於加拿大安大略省北部的桑德貝礦區(“財產”)。該物業位於傑拉爾頓以北110公里處,納基納以北60公里處。
"We continue to steadily advance our exploration program for gold, silver and polymetallic targets at Melchett Lake and were pleased to augment the claim package to cover known gold occurrences in the Colpitts Lake claims, and potential extensions to the known Zn-Au-Ag mineralization at Key Lake and Relf Lake North showings," said Greg Davison, Vice-President Exploration and Director of Silver Spruce. "We plan to expand our LiDAR data coverage, continue to compile the regional and property-wide geophysical data to extract structural features and integrate with historical EM anomalies vectoring to sulphide mineralization. The proposed field program would include line-cutting followed by the Quantec Geoscience ("Quantec") deep-penetrating SPARTAN Magnetotelluric ("MT") survey, and targeted ground geological surveys in areas with known geochemical alteration and outcropping mineralization (Figure 2)."
Silver Spruce勘探副總裁兼董事格雷格·戴維森表示:“我們繼續穩步推進梅爾切特湖金、銀和多金屬目標的勘探計劃,並很高興擴大索賠計劃,以涵蓋科爾皮茨湖索賠中已知的金礦產地以及基湖和雷爾夫湖北部展區已知的Zn-Au-Ag礦化的潛在延伸。”“我們計劃擴大我們的激光雷達數據覆蓋範圍,繼續彙編區域和物業範圍的地球物理數據,以提取結構特徵,並與硫化物礦化的歷史電磁異常矢量整合在一起。擬議的實地計劃將包括切線,然後進行Quantec Geoscience(“Quantec”)的深層穿透SPARTAN Magnetoluric(“MT”)調查,以及在已知地球化學變化和露頭礦化區域進行有針對性的地面地質調查(圖2)。”
"The principal target area for the geophysical program has extensive soil and rock geochemical anomalies, known VMS style mineralization from surface to >500 metres depth, highly favorable alteration type and intensity, increasing Cu to Zn with depth, and deep Maxwell modelled plates off-hole from borehole EM surveys", stated Mr. Davison.
戴維森說:“地球物理項目的主要目標區域存在大量的土壤和岩石地球化學異常,從地表到深度>500米的已知VMS礦化,變化類型和強度非常有利,隨着深度的增加銅到鋅,以及鑽孔電磁勘測的井下深Maxwell建模板塊。”

Several additional trends coincident with or along strike with 1970, 1991 and 2002 EM anomalies, particularly along the northern and northeastern-directed zones north of the Nakina showings and west towards the Key Lake targets. Potential folding, stacking and/or fold repetition of EM anomalies may be associated with the core of the Relf Lake target area and the Nakina 1 and 2 targets, overprinted by dextral (imbricate) offsets related to the strike breaks of known geochemical and geological anomalies among others.
其他幾種趨勢與1970年、1991年和2002年的新興磁異常相吻合或伴隨而來,特別是在納基納峯以北和朝向基湖目標的北部和東北方向的區域沿線。電磁異常的潛在摺疊、堆疊和/或摺疊重複可能與 Relf Lake 目標區域的核心以及 Nakina 1 和 2 目標有關,被與已知地球化學和地質異常的打擊中斷相關的右側(模糊化)偏移量所覆蓋。
Property Highlights
房產亮點
The Property now covers 11,236 hectares (480 single cell mineral claims and 5 multi-cell mineral claims with 70 cells) with VMS and Au targets located in east to southeast-striking, tightly folded, subvertical to moderately north-dipping Archean metavolcanic quartz-sericite schists to coarse fragmental units (Figures 3 and 4). These units exhibit steep down-dip to southeast raking or plunging lineations. The Melchett Lake belt contains several occurrences of polymetallic Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag-Au VMS mineralization similar in several respects to deposits exploited at Geco, Mattabi, and Winston Lake, among others.
該物業現在佔地11,236公頃(480個單細胞礦物主張和5個多細胞礦物主張,共70個細胞),VMS和Au目標位於東至東南部,緊密摺疊,亞垂直至中度向北傾斜的太古代火山石英絲雲巖片岩片段形成粗糙的碎片單元(圖3和4)。這些單位表現出陡峭的向下傾斜至東南傾斜或暴跌的線條。梅爾切特湖帶包含幾處多金屬Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag-Au VMS礦化現象,在幾個方面與在Geco、Mattabi和Winston Lake等地開採的礦牀相似。

Highlights of the prospective geology, alteration and mineralization include a strike extent of more than 20 km, multiple folded or stacked horizons of coincident alteration and metal mineralization, high Zn/Cu, Zn/Pb and Ag/Au ratios, increasing Cu/Zn at depth, extensive remobilization of major and trace elements with defined enrichment (Fe, Mg, Co, Cr, Cd) and depletion (Na, Sr, Ca) zones.
前景地質學、蝕變和礦化的亮點包括走向範圍超過20千米、多層疊疊層的同步蝕變和金屬礦化視野、較高的Zn/Cu、Zn/Pb和Ag/Au比率、提高深度的銅/鋅、增加具有明確富集區(鐵、鎂、鈷、鉻、鎘)和枯竭(鈉、Sr、Ca)區域的主要和微量元素。
Surface trenches, with Fe-sphalerite (blackjack or marmatite), contain locally high-grade lenses of Zn & Ag with variable Cu, Au and Pb, and historical gold grades to 28.8 g/t Au, silver grades to 560 g/t Ag and zinc grades to 19.1% (see Figure 3).
含有鐵閃鋅礦(二十一點或瑪瑪鐵礦)的地表溝槽含有當地高品位的鋅和銀透鏡,其中銅、金和鉛各不相同,歷史黃金等級爲28.8 g/t Au,銀等級爲 560 g/t,鋅等級爲 19.1%(見圖 3)。

The claims to the east and west of the core Relf and Nakina targets cover 11 kilometres of known extensions of the Melchett Lake mineralized horizons and include high potential VMS and Au targets located along sub-parallel isoclinal fold limbs offset by oblique, imbricate structural breaks interpreted from recently acquired exploration MAG, VLF and GEOTEM data. Only limited and shallow exploration drilling was conducted in the Key Lake area (west) and Iron Lake area (east).
Relf和Nakina核心目標以東和以西的主張涵蓋了Melchett Lake礦化地平線的11公里已知延伸部分,包括位於亞平行等斜折線上的高潛力VMS和Au目標,但根據最近獲得的勘探MAG、VLF和GEOTEM數據解釋而產生的斜向模糊結構斷裂所抵消。僅在基湖地區(西部)和鐵湖地區(東部)進行了有限的淺層勘探鑽探。
